  • Verse 1
    O, 
    the 
    minarets 
    of 
    Constantinople 

    Are 
    plated 
    gold, 
    ivory 
    and opal 

    Their 
    cupolas 
    all 
    onion 
    domed 
    and light 

    Verse 2

    And 
    the 
    ma
    gistrate 
    of 
    Constantinople 

    Has 
    made 
    match; his 

    family 
    was 
    hopeful 

    Their 
    daughter 
    would 
    be 

    promised 
    a wedding 
    night 

    Verse 3

    But 
    the Sul
    tan's 
    weary 
    bride, 

    she 
    won't 
    be 
    wed 
    tonight 

    Nor 
    fall 
    beneath 
    canopy 
    to 
    lie 

    For 
    far 
    across 
    the town, 

    her 
    lover's 
    lying 
    drowned 

    An
    painted 
    by 

    the Bosporus 
    in 
    blue 

    And 
    there's 
    nothing 
    for 

    a broken 
    heart 
    to 
    do. 

    Verse 4

    Down 
    the 
    dirty 
    streets 
    of 
    Constantinople 

    The 
    beggars 
    weep, 

    their 
    hands 
    all 
    wide 
    open 

    Their 
    severed 
    leper 
    limbs 

    all swing 
    and 
    sway. 

    Verse 5
    At 
    windowsill 
    in 
    Constantinople 

    Our 
    Hero 
    sighs 
    to 
    melodies 
    noteful 

    And 
    gazes 
    on 
    the wall

    that 
    hold 
    his 
    love. 

    Verse 6
    But 
    the Sul
    tan's 
    weary 
    bride, 

    she 
    won't 
    be 
    wed 
    tonight 

    Nor 
    fall 
    beneath 
    a canopy 
    to 
    lie 

    For 
    far 
    across 
    the town, 

    her 
    lover 
    now 
    is 
    drowned 

    An
    painted 
    by 

    the Bosporus 
    in 
    blue 

    And 
    there's 
    nothing 
    for 

    a broken 
    heart 
    to 
    do. 

    No, 
    there's 
    nothing 
    for 

    a broken 
    heart 
    to 
    do. 

    Except 
    cry.

    • 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.
