    the powder 
    Verse 1
    blue 
    dresses 

    Stewardesses 
    wear 
    on 

    Korean 
    Air 

    The skins 
    too 
    wine, 
    and 
    the body 
    so 
    fine. 

    All 
    the same 
    height, 

    and 
    they 
    have 
    the same 
    waist 
    line 

    But 
    there 
    is 
    one 
    who 
    stood 
    upon 

    An 
    emtag* way, 
    changed 
    par... 

    She 
    had 
    a white 
    watch 
    and 
    muted 
    spot* 

    thought 
    about 
    her 
    when 

    the night 
    grew 
    dark. 

    In 
    my 
    hotel 
    room 
    in 
    Toky

    And 
    by 
    the time 
    that 
    awoke 

    My 
    guitar 
    was 
    broken 
    and 
    in need 
    of 
    repair 

    Thanks 
    through 
    the 

    hassles, Korean 
    Air 

    But 
    roomed* myself 

    one 
    last 
    show 

    And 
    i made 
    a few 
    friends, 

    Choco 
    and 
    Coco 

    Walking 
    down 
    near 
    the train 
    station 
    below 

    Hugged 
    them 
    good- bye 
    as 

    walked 
    back 
    eye* 

    Remember 
    the 
    girl 
    who 
    had 
    la... 
    ched* 

    Grew 
    up 
    in 
    cardboard 
    box 

    And 
    the town 
    calmed 
    dormin   down 

    in. 

    She 
    shooked* my 
    spirit, 

    and 
    she 
    read 
    on 
    my 
    thoughts 

    But 
    had 
    some 
    lump* back 
    home 

    So 
    never 
    pursuit 
    her 
    and 

    recorded 
    telephone 

    wondered 
    if she 
    knew 
    if 
    ... 

    wondered 
    if 
    she 
    thought 

    that 
    had 
    used 
    her 

    And 
    by 
    the time 
    that 
    awoke 

    Around 
    my 
    neck 
    the 
    fellow 

    finger
    's 
    stroke 

    I felt 
    a j... 
    off 
    and 
    an electrical 
    sting, 

    felt 
    the 
    pull- 
    off, 
    an invisible 
    string. 

    Is 
    it 
    my 
    fu
    ture 
    falling? 

    Or 
    is 
    it 
    the past 
    to 
    call 
    in? 

    I can't 
    remember, 

    and 
    you 
    can't 
    make 
    me 
    remember. 

    Anything 
    that 
    hurts 
    makes 
    me 
    shiver. 

    I can't 
    remember, 

    and 
    you 
    can't 
    make 
    me 
    remem
    ber. 

    My 
    dirty 
    reflec
    tion 
    shimmered 
    in 
    the rain. 

    I can't 
    remember, 

    and 
    you 
    can't 
    make 
    me 
    remem
    ber. 

    All 
    forgotten 
    blues 
    be 
    open 
    my 
    heart. 

    I can't 
    remember, 

    and 
    you 
    can't 
    make 
    me 
    remem
    ber. 

    I can't 
    remember, 
    and 
    you 
    can't

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
