    Verse 1
    When traveling 

    abroad 
    in 
    the con
    tinental 
    style, 

    It's 
    my 
    belief 
    one 
    must 
    attempt 
    to 
    be 
    dis
    creet, 


    And subsequently 
    bear 
    in mind 

    your 
    transient 
    position 

    Allows 
    you 
    a perspect

    ive 
    that's 
    unique 

    Verse 2

    And 
    though you'll 
    find 
    your 
    it

    inerary 
    a blessing 
    and 
    a curse, 

    Your 
    wanderlust 
    won't 
    let 

    you 
    settle 
    down 

    And 
    you'll wonder 
    how 
    you 
    ever 
    fathomed 

    that 
    you'd 
    be 
    con
    tent 

    To stay 
    within 
    the 
    city 
    limits 

    of a small 
    midwestern 
    town 

    Verse 3
    Most 
    vagabonds 
    knowed 
    don't 

    ever want 
    to find 
    the cul
    prit 

    That 
    remains 
    the object 
    of 
    their 

    long 
    re
    lentless 
    quest 

    The 
    obsession's in 
    the chas
    ing 

    and 
    not 
    the 
    apprehend
    ing 

    The pur
    suit, 
    you see, 
    and never 
    the 
    arrest 

    Verse 4
    Without 
    fear 
    of 
    con
    tradiction, 

    bon 
    voyage 
    is always 
    hollered 

    In con
    junction 
    with 
    handkerchief 
    from 
    shore, 


    By 
    a girl 
    who drives 
    a Ram
    bler 
    and 

    furthermore 
    is 
    overly 
    con
    cerned 

    That 
    she 
    won't 
    see 
    him 
    anymore 

    Verse 5
    Planes 
    and 
    trains 
    and boats 
    and buses 

    characterist
    ically 

    Evoke 
    common 
    attitude 
    of 

    blue 

    Unless 
    you 
    have 
    a suitcase 

    and a ticket 
    and a 
    pass
    port 

    And the 
    cargo 
    that 
    they're 
    car

    rying 
    is 
    you 

    Verse 6

    A foreign 
    af
    fair, 

    juxta
    posed 
    with 
    stateside 

    And do
    mestically 
    approved 
    romantic 
    fancy, 


    Is 
    mys
    teriously 
    attractive 

    due to 
    cir
    cumstances, 

    Know
    ing 
    it will 
    only 
    be 
    parlayed in
    to a 

    Outro 1
    memory

    • 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.
