    Verse 1
    Those 
    were 
    the 
    days 
    of 
    Elaine 

    That 
    was 
    the phrase 
    that 
    she 

    used 
    to describe 
    to 
    her son 

    Of 
    the 
    fun 
    she 
    had 
    had 


    Verse 2
    Long 
    before 
    he 
    went 
    away 

    Long 
    before 
    days 
    of 
    the 
    dole 

    and 
    the 
    draze and 
    the 
    lull 

    But 
    the call 
    never 
    came. 

    Verse 3

    To say, 
    oh 
    oh 
    oh 

    Verse 4
    Loitering 
    lavender 
    park 

    Laying 
    about 
    in 
    the 
    day 
    and 

    the dark 
    of 
    room 

    While 
    the noon 
    passes 
    by 


    Verse 5
    Always 
    on 
    verge 
    of collapse 

    Mother 
    would quit 
    and 
    then 

    suffer 
    lapse 
    from 
    the 
    drink 

    You 
    would think 
    she 
    was 
    dead 

    Verse 6

    What 
    to say, 
    oh oh oh 

    She say, 
    oh 
    oh oh 
    oh 

    Verse 7

    And 
    the time 
    that 
    it 
    takes, 

    will 
    it 
    go 
    so 
    slow? 

    She 
    laid 
    on 
    the 
    brakes 
    and she 

    dulled 
    the 
    glow 

    Now, doesn't 
    it 
    go 
    so 
    slow? 

    When 
    you 
    build 
    it 
    up 
    to 
    tear 

    it 
    down 

    You're tearing 
    it 
    down 

    You tear 
    it 
    down 

    Those 
    were 
    the 
    days 

    Those 
    were 
    the 
    days 
    of 
    Elaine 

    The 
    days 
    of 
    Elaine 

    The days 
    of 
    Elaine 

    Verse 8

    lover 
    like 
    Alain 
    Delon 

    She 
    followed 
    him 
    blind 

    from saloon 
    to salon 

    From 
    the 
    hills 
    to 
    the 
    pills 
    he 
    would 
    take 


    Verse 9
    Father 
    had 
    died 
    in 
    the mines 

    Brother 
    had shown 
    no 

    remorse 
    for 
    his 
    crimes 

    When 
    they strung 
    him 
    up 
    he 
    got 

    all hung 
    up 
    on 
    the scaf
    folding 

    Verse 10
    But 
    he say, 
    oh oh 
    oh 

    He say, 
    oh 
    oh 
    oh oh 

    Verse 11

    And 
    the time 
    that 
    it takes, 
    well, 

    it 
    goes 
    so 
    slow 

    She 
    laid 
    on 
    the brakes 
    and she 

    dulled 
    the 
    glow 

    Now, doesn't 
    it 
    go 
    so 
    slow? 

    When 
    you 
    build 
    it 
    up 
    to tear 

    it 
    down 

    You're tearing 
    it 
    down 

    You 
    tear 
    it 
    down 

    Those 
    were 
    the 
    days 

    Those 
    were 
    the 
    days 
    of 
    Elaine 

    The days 
    of 
    Elaine 

    Outro 1
    The

    • 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.
