Verse 1
G
I heard it in the wind last night
Cm
It sounded like applause
G
Did you get a round resounding for you
Way up here
Seems like many dim years ago
Since I heard that face to face
Cm
So seen you face to face
G
Though tonight I can feel you here
Gm
I get these notes
G
Gsus4
On butterflies and lilac sprays
G
Am
G
From girls who just have to tell me
Gsus4

They saw you somewhere
Interlude 1

F
G
Verse 2
G
In some office sits a poet
And he trembles as he sings
Cm
And he asks some guy
G
To circulate his soul around
On your mark red ribbon runner
The caressing rev of motors
Cm
Finely tuned like fancy women
G
In Thirties evening gowns
Gm
Up the charts
Off to the airport
G
Gsus4
Your name's in the news
G
Am
Everything's first class
The lights go down
G
F
Gsus4
G
And it's just you up there
Getting them to feel like
that
F
Verse 3
G
Remember the days when you used to sit
And make up your tunes for love
Cm
And pour your simple sorrow
G
Cm
G
To the sound hole and your knee
And now you're seen
On giant screens
And at parties for the press
Cm
G
And for people who have slices of you
From the company
Gm
They toss around your latest
golden egg
G
Speculation-well,
Gsus4
G
Am
who's who's to know

If the next one in the nest

Verse 4
I guess I seem ungrateful
With my teeth sunk in the hand
Cm
That brings me things
G
I really can't give up just yet
Now I sit up here
The critic!
And they introduce some band
Cm
But they seem so much confetti
G
Looking at them on my TV set
Gm
Oh the power and the glory
G
Gsus4
Just when you're getting
a taste for worship
G
Am
They start bringing out the
G

hammers
Gsus4

And the boards

Verse 5
G
A
I heard it in the wind last night
G
Cm
It sounded like ap plause
Chilly now
End of summer
G
No more shiny hot nights
It was just the arbutus rustling
A
And the bumping of the logs
G
Cm
And the moon swept down black water
G
Like an empty spotlight

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
