Verse 1
G

I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress

When you knelt by my mattress,
D

and asked for my hand
G

But I was sad you asked it,

as I laid in a black dress

With my father in a casket,
D

I had no plans, yeah
G
G

Verse 2
G

And I left the footprints,
C
G

the mud stain on the carpet

And it hardened like my heart did
D

when you left town
G

But I must admit it,
C
G

that I would marry you in an instant

Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress
D

just to have you around
Chorus 1

But I was late for this, late for that,

die I'll be on time, ah

Verse 3
G

While the church discouraged,
C
G

any lust that burned within me

Yes my flesh, it was my currency,
D

but I held true
G

So I drive a taxi,
C
G

and the traffic distracts me
C
G

From the strangers in my backseat,
D

they remind me of you
Chorus 2

And the only gifts from my Lord

were a birth and a divorce

But I've read this script and the costume fits,

so I'll play my part

Verse 4
G

I was Cleopatra,
C
G

I was taller than the rafters

But that's all in the past love,
D

gone with the wind
G

Now a nurse in white shoes
C
G

leads me back to my guestroom
C
G

It's a bed and a bathroom
D

And a place for the end
Chorus 3

I won't be late for this, late for that,

  • 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.
