    Verse 1
    G

    Small town, bright lights,
    C
    G

    Saturday night -

    Pinballs and pool halls are
    A
    D

    flashing their lights.
    G

    Making change behind the
    C
    G

    counter in a penny arcade

    Sat the fat girl daughter of
    D
    G

    Virginia and Ray.

    Lydia!
    Verse 2

    C
    G

    Lydia hid her thoughts like a cat -

    Behind her small eyes,
    A
    D

    sunk deep in her fat.
    G

    She read romance magazines
    C
    G

    up in her room,

    And felt just like Sunday on
    D

    Saturday afternoon.

    Like the first breath from a baby

    Bunk beds, shaved heads,
    C
    G

    Saturday night -

    A warehouse of strangers
    A

    in 60- watt lights.
    D
    G

    Starin' through the ceiling,
    C
    G

    just wanting to be,
    D
    G

    Lay one of too many, a young P.F.C.

    Donald!
    Verse 5
    G

    And there were spaces between Donald...
    C
    G

    And whatever he said.

    Strangers had forced him
    A
    D

    To live in his head.
    G

    He envisioned the details
    C
    G

    of romantic scenes

    After midnight in the stillness of
    D
    G

    the barracks' latrines.
    Verse 6

    But dreamin' just comes natural

    Hot love, cold love, no love at all

    on the wall

    Nothin' is wrong and nothin' is right,

    Donald and Lydia
    D

    Made love that night.
    G

    Verse 8
    G

    Love!

    They made love in the mountains,
    C
    G

    They made love in the streams,

    They made love in the valleys,
    A
    D

    They made love in their dreams.
    G

    And when they were finished,
    C
    G

    There was nothin' to say -

    Because mostly they made love from
    D

    Ten miles away.
    G

    • 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.
