    • Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    walk 
    these 
    narrow 
    streets, 

    where 
    a 
    million passing 
    feet 

    have 
    trot before 
    me 

    With 
    my 
    guitar 
    in 
    my hand, 

    suddenly 
    I 
    realized, 

    my God, 
    nobody 
    knows 
    me 

    Where 
    yes
    terday 
    the 
    multitude 
    screamed 

    and cried 
    my 
    name 
    out 
    for 
    a 
    song 

    Today 
    the 
    streets 
    are 
    empty 

    and 
    the crowds 
    they've 
    all gone 
    home 

    With 
    the 
    rain 
    upon my 
    face, 

    there's 
    no 
    place 
    where 
    I 
    be
    long 

    And 
    my 
    whole 
    life 
    consists 
    of 
    a 
    story, 

    a 
    poem, 
    and a 
    song 

    Ah, 
    the truths 
    I tried 
    to 
    tell you 

    Are 
    as 
    distant 
    as 
    the 
    moon 

    Born 
    two 
    hundred 
    years 
    too late 

    And 
    two hundred 

    years 
    too 
    soon 

    I'm 
    a child 
    of 
    this 
    age 

    Locked 
    inside 
    the pages 
    of 
    a 
    book 

    And 
    when 
    I am 
    but 
    dust 
    and clay 

    And 
    other 
    chil
    dren 
    stop 
    to 
    take 
    a look 

    Will 
    they 
    marvel 
    at the 

    miracles 
    I 
    did 
    perform 

    And 
    to 
    the heights 
    I 
    did 
    as
    pire? 

    Or 
    will 
    they 
    tear 
    out 
    the 
    pages 
    of the 
    book 

    to 
    light 
    a fire? 

    With 
    the 
    rain 
    upon 
    my 
    face, 

    there 
    is no 
    place 
    where 
    I be
    long

      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

      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.
