Verse 1

I'm flying down deserted streets

Wrapped in mother's

winding sheets

Asbestos boots on flaming feet

Dreaming of forbidden treats

When uniforms on nighttime beats

Ask me where I'm going and what I eat

I answer them with a voice so sweet

Well someone's trying to

tell me where it's at

How I do this and why I do that

With secret smiles, like a Cheshire Cat

And leather wings like a vampire bat

And eat my way to a bone of fat

And I say to the man with the funny hat

They say I've begun to lose my grip
G

My hold on reality is starting to slip

Tell me to get off this trip

Life's sweet wine's too warm to sip

And if I drink I'll surely flip

I just say as I take a nip

So, as I dream of cotton seas

And granite halls and redwood trees

An ugly eye that only sees

Endless mirrors and infinite me's

About the winter's coming freeze

This afterthought I say with ease

To all of you who made your pleas

  • 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

    Rose the Black Cat

    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 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    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!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    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.

    Caleb Schafli

    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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
