    • Verse 1
    Well 
    you can 
    ride 
    on 

    the crest 
    of 
    a wave, 

    If that's 
    where 
    you 
    want 
    to be, 

    But does 
    the 
    look 
    on 
    your face, 

    Mean you're 
    really 
    feeling 
    happy? 

    Or 
    do you 
    feel 
    like you're 

    standing 
    on 
    a wooden 
    leg, 

    Or 
    a 
    poor 
    man 
    much 
    to proud 
    to beg, 

    Or 
    a page 
    from 
    a 
    book 
    that can

    't 
    be 
    read 
    at all? 

    Verse 2

    You gotta 
    see 
    by the 
    way 

    that 
    they 
    are 
    talking, 

    That 
    it's 
    time 
    for you 
    to pick 
    up your 

    grip... start 
    walk
    ing, 

    'Cause 
    they 
    want 
    to see 

    your long 
    ... legs 
    flying, 

    Go 
    to the 
    place 
    where 
    the earth 

    meets 
    the sky 
    and, 

    Don't 
    stop 
    to turn 
    around 
    an

    d wave 
    goodbye 
    at all. 

    Verse 3

    They 
    won't 
    be 
    satisfied, 

    Till 
    you're 
    out 

    of their 
    sight, 

    But 
    I won
    der 
    how 
    will 
    they 
    feel, 

    With 
    a deck 
    of 
    cards, 

    Interlude 1
    And 
    you're not 
    around 
    to 
    deal, 
    yeah. 













    They 
    won't 
    be 
    satis
    Verse 4
    fied, 

    Till 
    you're 
    out 
    of 
    their sight, 

    But 
    I 
    wonder 
    how 
    will 
    they feel, 

    With 
    a deck 
    of 
    cards, 

    You're not 
    around 
    to 
    deal? 

    You're not 
    around 
    to deal. 

    Verse 5

    Well, 
    they say 
    it's 
    a lie, 

    a 
    joke 
    that 
    you 
    are 
    living, 

    But 
    you 
    know one 
    thing 
    they 
    don't, 

    you 
    won't 
    give 
    in. 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    like 
    a cat, 

    chasin' 
    its tail, 

    Makes 
    a million 
    circles, 

    but you're 
    gonna 
    fail, 

    Look 
    down 
    you 
    just 
    don't 

    under
    stand. 

    Verse 6
    Well 
    you can 
    ride 
    on 
    the crest 
    of 
    a wave, 


    If that's 
    where 
    you 
    want 
    to be, 

    But does the 
    look 
    on 
    your face, 

    Mean you're 
    really 
    feeling 

    happy? 

    Well, do you 
    feel 
    like 

    you're standing 
    on 
    a wooden 
    leg, 

    A 
    poor 
    man 
    much 
    to proud 
    to 
    beg, 

    Or a page 
    from 
    a 
    book 
    that can

    't 
    be 
    read 
    at 
    all? 

    Verse 7
    Well, 
    do you 
    feel 
    like 

    you're standing 
    on 
    a wooden 
    leg, 

    Or a poor 
    man 
    much 
    to proud 
    to 
    beg, 


    Or a page 
    from 
    a book 
    that can

    't 
    be 
    read 
    at all? 

    Outro 1
    Read 
    at all.

      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 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.
