    Smoke 
    dreams 
    of 
    es
    caping 
    souls 

    are 
    drifting 
    by 

    Dull 
    the 
    pain 
    of 
    living 

    as 
    they 
    slowly 
    die 

    Smiles 
    change

    a sneer 

    washed 
    away 
    by 
    whiskey 
    tears

    present 

    using 
    memories 

    Never

    their 
    pot 
    of 
    gold 

    Wrinkled 
    hands 
    pound 
    weary 
    holes 

    Each 
    line 
    screams 
    out 
    you're 
    old, you're 
    old, 

    you're old 

    But

    Interlude 2

    Verse 8
    And 
    the 
    flower 
    lady 
    hobbles 
    home 

    without 
    a sale 

    Tattered 
    shreds 
    of 
    petals 
    leave 
    a 

    fad
    ing 
    trail 

    Not 
    a 
    pause 
    to 
    hold 
    a rose 

    Even 
    she 
    no 
    longer 
    knows 

    The 
    lamp 
    goes 
    out 
    the 
    evening 

    now 
    is 
    closed 

    And 
    nobody's 
    buying 
    flower
    s 
    from 
    the 
    flower 
    lady

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
