    Es
    meralda, 

    in an
    other 
    age 

    Antiques

    ern, 

    we would 
    be 
    the rage 

    Silk 
    would be 
    in 
    fash
    ion, 

    we 
    would dress 
    in 
    lace 

    Love 
    would 
    be the 
    pas
    sion 

    and the sav
    ing 
    grace

    slept 
    one 
    rainy 
    night

    you 
    in 
    Par
    is 

    Made 
    up

    love 
    appear

    Verse 3
    Dancing 
    in the 
    shim
    mer 
    of a 

    crystal 
    chan
    delier 

    Shadows 
    singing 
    so 
    low 

    only 
    we 
    could 
    hear 

    Moving 
    to the 
    glim
    mer, 

    shaking 
    to 
    the storm 

    Outside 
    it was 
    ra

    inside 
    it was 
    warm 

    Verse 4
    We

    Now 
    wake 
    and 
    find 

    you're 
    never 
    there 

    I'm 
    becoming 
    old 
    enough 

    to 
    won
    der 

    Happy 
    that 
    I'm still 
    too 
    young 
    to 
    care 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    Masterpieces 
    crumble, 

    empires 
    tumble 
    down 

    Refugees 
    and 
    fantasies 
    go 

    underground 

    Romance 
    lasts 
    forever

    love 
    don't 
    fade 
    away 

    They 
    may take 
    our 
    fu
    ture, 

    but they 
    don't 
    stop 
    yester
    day 

    Verse 6
    Cause 
    somewhere 
    in the 

    cloudy 
    skies 
    of 
    Paris 

    we 
    were part 
    of some 

    artist's 
    design 

    Dearest 
    Esmer
    alda, 
    you 
    are 
    magic 

    In 
    the gray 
    around 
    me 

    how 
    you 
    shine 

    Verse 7
    Oh oh, 
    how 
    you 
    shine

    • 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.
