  • Verse 1

    Old Beale Street 
    is 
    coming down 


    Sweeties' Snack Bar, 
    boarded up now 

    And Eagles 
    The Tailor 

    and the Shine Boy's 
    gone 

    Faded out 
    with ragtime 
    blues 

    Handy's 
    cast in 
    bronze 

    And 
    he's 
    stand
    ing 

    in a little park 

    With a trumpet in 
    his hand 

    Like he's 
    listen
    ing back 
    to the good 

    old bands 

    And the click of 
    high 
    heeled shoes 

    Old Furry 
    sing
    s the blues 

    Propped up 
    in his bed 

    With 
    his dentures 
    and his 
    leg removed 

    And 
    Ginny's there 

    For her kindness 

    and Furry's beer 

    She's the old 
    man's angel 
    over
    seer 

    Verse 2
    Pawn 
    shops glitter 

    like gold 
    tooth caps 

    In the gray 
    decay 

    They chew 
    the last few dollars 
    off 

    Old 
    Beale Street's car
    cass 

    Carrion 
    and mercy 

    Blue and sil
    ver sparkling 
    drums 

    Cheap guitars, 
    eye shades and 
    guns 

    Aimed at 
    the 
    hot blood of being 

    no 
    one 

    Down and 
    out in Memphis 

    Tennessee 

    Old Furry sing
    s the blues 

    You 
    bring him smoke 
    and drink and 

    he'll 
    play for 
    you 

    It's mostly 
    muttering 
    now 

    and sideshow 
    spiel 

    But there was one 
    song he played 

    I could 
    really 
    feel 


    Verse 3
    There's a 
    double bill murder 

    at 
    the New 
    Daisy 

    The old 
    girl's silent 
    across 
    the street 

    She's 
    silent, 

    waiting 
    for the wrecker's beat 

    Silent, 
    staring 
    are her stolen 
    name 

    Diamond boys 
    and 
    satin 

    doll

    Bourbon laughter, 
    ghosts, 

    history 
    falls 

    To parking 
    lots and 

    shopping malls 

    As they tear 
    down old Beale Street 

    Old 
    Furry sings 
    the 
    blues 

    He 
    point
    s a bony 
    finger at you 
    and 

    "I don't 
    like you" 

    Everybody 
    laughs 
    as 
    if it's the old 

    man's standard joke 

    But 
    it's true 

    We're only 
    welcome 
    for our drink 

    and smoke 

    Verse 4
    W.C. Handy 
    I'm rich 

    and I'm 
    fay 

    And I'm not 
    familiar with what 

    you played 

    But I 
    get such strong 
    impressions 

    of your 
    hey 
    day 

    Looking up and 
    down old Beale Street 

    Ghosts 
    of the 
    darktown society 

    Come 
    right out of the bricks 

    at me 

    Like it's a Saturday 
    night 

    They're 
    in their finery 

    Dancing it up 
    and making 
    deals 

    Furry sings 
    the blues 

    Why should I expect 
    that old 
    guy 

    to give it 
    to me true 

    Fallen to hard 
    luck

    And time 
    and other thieves 

    While our limo 
    is shining 
    on 
    his shanty 
    street 

    Old 
    Furry 
    sings 
    the 
    blues

    • 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.
