    Verse 1
    Everybody's 
    laughin' 

    at 
    the 
    Early 
    Bird 
    Café 

    I've 
    been 
    hidden 
    there 
    since 
    yesterday, 

    and 
    be
    lieve 
    I've 
    lost 
    my 
    way 

    Charlotte's 
    there 
    in 
    organdy, 

    and 
    Billy's 
    there 
    in suede 

    There's 
    money 
    in 
    their 
    pockets, 

    and all 
    the dues 
    are 
    paid 

    There's 
    wine 
    on 
    every 
    table, 

    and food 
    on 
    every 
    plate 

    Well 
    hope 
    get 
    there 
    pretty 
    soon, 

    before 
    it 
    gets 
    too 
    late 

    Verse 2

    Someone 
    asked 
    me 
    what 
    time 
    it 
    was 
    and 
    I, 

    told 
    him 
    it 
    was now 

    He asked 
    me 
    just 
    what 
    that 
    might 
    mean, 

    but 
    time 
    would 
    not 
    allow 

    So 
    gave 
    away 
    my 
    watch 
    to 

    passing 
    businessman 

    Well 
    hope 
    he 
    understands 
    it 
    now, 

    'cause 
    I've 
    done 
    the 
    best 
    I can 

    It 
    was 
    getting 
    early, 

    so 
    I rushed 
    away 
    from 
    there 

    With 
    that 
    ancient 
    earth 
    beneath 
    my 
    feet 

    And 
    new 
    dust 
    in 
    my 
    hair 

    Verse 3

    Well 
    I ran 
    on 
    down 
    the road 
    a while, 

    to 
    the other 
    side 
    of town 

    My clothes 
    were 
    gettin' 
    wrinkled, 

    and 
    my socks 
    were 
    fallin' 
    down 

    But 
    could 
    not 
    stop 
    to 
    pull 
    them 
    up, 

    for 
    fear 
    that 
    I'd 
    be 
    late 

    So 
    kept 
    on 
    runnin' 
    down 
    the 

    road 
    until 
    saw 
    the 
    gate 

    Of 
    the 
    Early 
    Bird 
    Cafe, 

    glowin' 
    golden 
    like 
    the sun 

    Everybody 
    kept 
    on 
    singing, 
    saying 

    "Come 
    on 
    in, 
    we've 
    just 
    be
    gun! 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    So 
    went 
    right 
    in, 
    and 
    set 
    right 
    down, 

    and 
    ordered 
    up 
    some 
    wine 

    The talk 
    was 
    fast 
    and 
    clever, 

    and 
    the women 
    all 
    were 
    fine 

    Charlotte 
    asked 
    me 
    where 
    I'd 

    been 
    with 
    her 
    jade 
    and 
    ivory 
    eyes 

    told 
    her 
    I'd 
    been 
    hung 
    up, 

    with some 
    begger 
    in 
    dis
    guise 

    Well 
    she 
    laughed 
    like 
    temple 
    bells 

    Kissed 
    me 
    on 
    the cheek 

    and 
    said 

    "You know 
    it's 
    hard 
    to 

    be 
    alive 
    sometimes 

    But 
    it's 
    easy 

    Outro 1
    To 
    be dead!"

    • 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.
