    Verse 1
    Four 
    o'clock 
    in the 
    afternoon 

    And I 
    didn't 
    feel 
    like 
    very 
    much. 

    I said 
    to myself, 

    "Where 
    are 
    you golden 
    boy, 

    Where 
    is 
    your 
    famous 
    golden 
    touch?" 

    thought 
    you 
    knew 
    where 

    All 
    of 
    the 
    ele
    phants 
    lie 
    down, 

    thought 
    you 
    were the 
    crown 
    prince 

    Of 
    all 
    the wheels 
    in 
    Ivory 
    Town. 

    Verse 2
    Just 
    take 
    a look 
    at your 
    body 
    now, 

    There's 
    nothing 
    much 
    to save 

    And 
    a bitter 
    voice 
    in 
    the mirror 
    cries, 


    "Hey, Prince, 
    you need 
    a shave." 

    Verse 3
    Now 
    if 
    you can 
    manage 
    to 
    get 

    Your 
    trembling 
    fingers 
    to 
    behave, 

    Why 
    don't 
    you try 
    unwrapping 

    A stainless 
    steel 
    razor 
    blade? 

    Verse 4
    That's 
    right, 
    it's 
    come 
    to 
    this, 

    Yes 
    it's 
    come 
    to 
    this, 

    And wasn't 
    it a long 

    way 
    down, 

    Was
    n't 
    it a strange 

    way 
    down? 

    Verse 5

    There's 
    no 
    hot 
    water 

    And 
    the cold 
    is 
    running 
    thin. 

    Well, 
    what do you 
    expect 
    from 

    The kind 
    of places 
    you've 

    been 
    living 
    in? 

    Verse 6
    Don't 
    drink 
    from 
    that 
    cup, 

    It's 
    all 
    caked 
    and 
    cracked 

    along 
    the rim. 

    That's 
    not 
    the electric 
    light, 
    my 
    friend, 

    That is 
    your 
    vision 
    growing 
    dim. 

    Verse 7
    Cover 
    up 
    your face 
    with 
    soap, 
    there, 

    Now 
    you're 
    Santa 
    Claus. 

    And you've 
    got 
    a gift 
    for 
    anyone 

    Who 
    will 
    give 
    you 
    his 
    applause. 

    Verse 8
    thought 
    you 
    were 
    a racing 
    man, 

    Ah, 
    but 
    you couldn't 
    take 
    the 
    pace. 

    That's 
    funeral 
    in 
    the 
    mirror 

    And 
    it's 
    stopping 
    at 
    your 
    face. 

    Verse 9
    That's 
    right, 
    it's 
    come 
    to 
    this, 

    Yes 
    it's 
    come 
    to 
    this, 

    And 
    wasn't 
    it 
    a long 
    way 
    down, 

    Ah 
    wasn't 
    it 
    a strange 
    way 
    down? 

    Verse 10

    Once 
    there 
    was 
    a path 

    And 
    a girl 
    with 
    chestnut 
    hair, 

    And 
    you 
    passed 
    the 
    summers 

    Picking 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    berries 
    that 
    grew 
    there 

    There 
    were times 
    she 
    was 
    a woman, 

    Oh, 
    there were 
    times 
    she was 
    just 
    a child, 


    And you held 
    her 
    in 
    the shadows 

    Where 
    the 
    raspberries 
    grow 

    wild. 

    Verse 11
    And you climbed 
    the 
    twilight 
    mountains 

    And 
    you 
    sang 
    about 
    the view, 

    And 
    everywhere 
    that 
    you 
    wandered 

    Love 
    seemed 
    to go 
    along 
    with 
    you. 

    That's 
    a hard 
    one 
    to 
    remember, 

    Yes 
    it 
    makes 
    you 
    clench 
    your fist. 

    Verse 12
    And 
    then 
    the 
    veins 
    stand 

    out 
    like 
    highways, 

    All 
    along 
    your 
    wrist. 

    And 
    yes 
    it's 
    come 
    to 
    this, 

    It's 
    come 
    to 
    this, 

    And 
    wasn't 
    it a 
    long 
    way 
    down, 

    Wasn't 
    it 
    a strange 
    way 
    down? 

    Verse 13
    You 
    can still 
    find 
    a job, 

    Go 
    out 
    and talk 
    to a 
    friend. 

    On 
    the back 
    of 
    every 
    magazine 

    There 
    are 
    those 
    coupons 
    you can 
    send. 

    Why 
    don't 
    you join 
    the 
    Rosicrucians, 

    They 
    can 
    give 
    you 
    back 
    your 
    hope, 

    You can 
    find 
    your 
    love 
    with 
    diagrams 

    On 
    a plain 
    brown 
    envelope. 

    Verse 14
    But 
    you've used 
    up 
    all 
    your 
    coupons 

    Ex
    cept 
    the 
    one 
    that seems 

    To 
    be 
    written 
    on 
    your 
    wrist 

    Along 
    with 
    several 
    thousand 
    dreams. 

    Verse 15
    Now 
    Santa 
    Claus 
    comes 
    forward, 

    That's 
    a razor 
    in 
    his 
    mit 

    And 
    he 
    puts 
    on 
    his 
    dark 
    glasses 

    And 
    he shows 
    you 
    where 
    to 
    hit 

    And 
    then 
    the 
    cameras 
    pan, 

    The 
    stand 
    in 
    stunt 
    man, 

    Dress 
    re
    hearsal 
    rag, 

    It's 
    just 
    the 
    dress 
    re
    hearsal 
    rag, 

    You know 
    this 
    dress 
    re
    hearsal 
    rag, 

    It's 
    just 
    dress 
    re

    • 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.
