    Verse 1
    Spent 
    some 
    time 
    feelin' 
    in
    ferior 

    standing' 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    my 
    mirror 

    Combed 
    my 
    hair 

    in 
    thousand 
    ways, 

    but 
    came 
    out 
    lookin' 
    just 
    the 
    same 

    Daddy 
    said, 
    son, 

    you

    But 
    re

    one 
    thing, 

    don't 
    lose 
    your 
    head 

    to 
    woman 
    that'll 
    spend 
    your 
    bread 

    So

    out 




    Verse 2
    Paris 
    was 
    place 

    you 
    could 
    hide 
    away, 

    If 
    you 
    felt 
    you 
    didn't 
    fit 
    in 

    French 
    police 

    wouldn't 
    give 
    me 
    no 
    peace, 

    they 
    claimed 
    was 
    nasty 
    person 

    Down 
    along 
    the 
    left 
    bank, 

    minding 
    my 
    own 

    Was 
    knocked 
    down 
    by 
    human 
    stampede 

    Got 
    arrested 
    for 
    inciting 

    peaceful 
    riot, 

    when 
    all 
    wanted 
    was 
    cup 
    of 
    tea 

    was 
    accused 


    moved 
    on 

    Verse 3
    Down 
    in 
    rome 

    wasn't 
    getting 
    enough 

    Of 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    keep 
    young 
    man 
    alive 

    My 
    body 
    stunk, 

    but 
    kept 
    my 
    funk 

    at 
    time 
    when 
    was 
    right 
    out 
    of 
    luck 

    Getting 
    desperate, 
    indeed 
    was 

    looking 
    like 
    tourist 
    attraction 

    Oh, 
    my 
    dear, 

    better 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    here 

    for 
    the 
    vatican 
    don't 
    give 
    no 
    sanction 

    wasn't 
    ready 
    for 
    that, 
    no, 
    no, 


    moved 
    right 
    out 
    east, 
    yeah 

    Verse 4
    Listen, 
    on 
    the 
    peking 
    ferry 

    was 
    feeling 
    merry, 

    sailing 
    on 
    my 
    way 
    back 
    here 

    fell 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    slant-eyed 
    lady 

    by 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    an 
    eastern 
    moon 

    Shanghai 
    lil 
    never 
    used 
    the 
    pill, 

    she 
    claimed 
    that 
    it 
    just 
    ain't 
    natural 

    She 
    took 
    me 
    up 
    on 
    deck 

    and 
    bit 
    my 
    neck 

    Oh, 
    people, 
    was 
    glad 
    found 
    her 

    Oh, 
    just 
    was 
    glad 
    found 
    her 


    Wait 
    minute 

    Verse 5
    firmly 
    believed 
    that 

    didn't 
    need 
    anyone 
    but 
    me 

    sin
    cerely 
    thought 

    was 
    so 
    comp
    lete 

    Look 
    how 
    wrong 
    you 
    can 
    be 


    The 
    women 
    I've 
    known 

    wouldn't 
    let 
    tie 
    my 
    shoe 

    They 
    wouldn't 
    give 
    you 
    the 
    time 
    of 
    day 

    But 
    the 
    slant-eyed 
    lady 

    knocked 
    me 
    off 
    my 
    feet 

    God, 
    was 
    glad 
    found 
    her 

    Verse 6
    And 
    if 
    they 
    had 
    the 
    words 

    could 
    tell 
    to 
    you 

    To 
    help 
    you 
    on 
    your 
    way 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    couldn't 
    quote 
    you 
    no 
    dickens, 

    shelley 
    or 
    keats 

    'Cause 
    it's 
    all 
    been 
    said 
    before 


    Make 
    the 
    best 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    bad, 

    just 
    laugh 
    it 
    off 

    You 
    didn't 
    have 
    to 
    come 
    here 
    anyway, 

    so 
    remember 

    Outro 1
    Every 
    picture 
    tells 
    story 
    don't 
    it? 

    Every 
    picture 
    tells 
    story 
    don't 
    it? 

    Every 
    picture 
    tells 
    story 
    don't 
    it?

    • 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.
