    As 
    child 
    on 
    the

    was

    Of

    stantly 
    told 

    How 
    our lives 
    were 

    controlled 
    by 
    the city 

    How 
    they

    us 
    in

    With 
    the trend
    s that 
    they

    Verse 7
    nally 
    came 

    There's 
    some 
    things 
    still 

    the same 
    in 
    the city 

    You still 
    lie un
    der 
    the 
    thumb 

    Of 
    the 
    rich 
    and 
    the young

    Verse 8
    much 

    different 
    than 
    we 
    might 
    act 

    If 
    there 
    was 
    that 
    many 
    others 

    stacked 
    and 
    closely 
    packed 

    It's 
    an 
    ancient 
    idea 

    But 
    it struck 
    me so 
    clear 

    in 
    the city

    Verse 10

    Ah, 
    ah 

    Ah, 
    ah 

    Verse 11

    "I'd 
    like 
    to 
    do a song 

    That was 
    written 
    about 
    good friend of 
    mine down 
    in Key 
    West, 

    Florida, 

    Where I spend 
    little bit 
    of time. 

    This 
    particular 
    friend of 
    mine 
    ran 

    a bar 
    in Key West 

    For a long 
    time 
    before we 
    got fed 

    up 
    with all 
    the other 
    alternatives 

    To 
    politicians 
    and elected 
    our 

    favorite 
    bartender 
    mayor. 

    Our 
    mayor's 
    name 
    is Captain 

    Tony 
    Tarascino, 

    Has 
    a little 
    place called 
    Captain 

    Tony's 
    Saloon 

    Where 
    we wrote a 
    little song 

    called 
    Last 
    Mango 
    in Paris, 

    Not to 
    be confused 
    with that 

    movie 
    by 
    a similar 
    title."

    • 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.
