    Verse 1
    It's 
    four 
    in 
    the 
    morning, 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    December 

    I'm 
    writing 
    you 
    now 

    just 
    to 
    see 
    if 
    you 
    feel 
    better 

    New 
    York 
    is 
    cold, 

    but 
    like 
    where 
    I'm 
    living 

    There's 
    music 
    on 
    Clinton 
    Street 

    all 
    through 
    the 
    evening 

    Pre-chorus 1
    hear 
    that 
    you're 
    building 

    your 
    little 
    house 
    deep 
    in 
    the 
    desert 

    You're 
    living 
    for 
    nothing 
    now, 

    hope 
    you're 
    keeping 
    some 
    kind 
    of 
    record 

    Chorus 1
    Yes, 
    and 
    Jane 
    came 
    by 
    with 
    lock 
    of 
    your 
    hair 

    She 
    said 
    that 
    you 
    gave 
    it 
    to 
    her 

    That 
    night 
    that 
    you 
    planned 
    to 
    go 
    clear 

    Did 
    you 
    ever 
    go 
    clear? 

    Verse 2
    Ah, 
    the 
    last 
    time 
    we 
    saw 
    you 

    you 
    looked 
    so 
    much 
    older 

    Your 
    famous 
    blue 
    raincoat 

    was 
    torn 
    at 
    the 
    shoulder 

    You'd 
    been 
    to 
    the 
    station 

    to 
    meet 
    every 
    train, 
    and 

    You 
    came 
    home 
    without 

    Lili 
    Marlene 

    Pre-chorus 2
    And 
    you 
    treated 
    my 
    woman 

    to 
    flake 
    of 
    your 
    life 

    And 
    when 
    she 
    came 
    back 

    she 
    was 
    nobody's 
    wife 

    Chorus 2
    Well 
    see 
    you 
    there 
    with 
    the 
    rose 
    in 
    your 
    teeth 

    One 
    more 
    thin 
    gypsy 
    thief 

    Well, 
    see 
    Jane's 
    a
    wake 

    She 
    sends 
    her 
    re
    gards 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    And 
    what 
    can 
    tell 
    you 

    my 
    brother, 
    my 
    killer 

    What 
    can 
    possibly 
    say? 

    guess 
    that 
    miss 
    you, 

    guess 
    forgive 
    you 

    I'm 
    glad 
    you 
    stood 
    in 
    my 
    way 

    Pre-chorus 3
    If 
    you 
    ever 
    come 
    by 
    here, 

    for 
    Jane 
    or 
    for 
    me 

    Well, 
    your 
    enemy 
    is 
    sleeping, 

    and 
    his 
    woman 
    is 
    free 

    Chorus 3
    Yes, 
    and 
    thanks, 

    for 
    the 
    trouble 
    you 
    took 
    from 
    her 
    eyes 

    thought 
    it 
    was 
    there 

    for 
    good 
    so 
    never 
    tried 

    Chorus 4
    And 
    Jane 
    came 
    by 
    with 
    lock 
    of 
    your 
    hair 

    She 
    said 
    that 
    you 
    gave 
    it 
    to 
    her 

    That 
    night 
    that 
    you 
    planned 
    to 
    go 
    clear 

    Sincerely, 
    Cohen

    • 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.
