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
G
D

Handy's cast in bronze
F

And he's standing

in a little park

With a trumpet in his hand
Am

Like he's listening back to the good

old bands

And the click of high heeled shoes
D

Old Furry sings the blues

Propped up in his bed
F

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 overseer
Am

Pawn shops glitter

like gold tooth caps

In the gray decay

They chew the last few dollars off
Am

Old Beale Street's carcass

Carrion and mercy

Blue and silver 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 sings 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

Silent, staring are her stolen name

Bourbon laughter, ghosts,

history falls

To parking lots and

shopping malls

As they tear down old Beale Street

Old Furry sings the blues

He points a bony finger at you and

"I don't like you"

Everybody laughs as if it's the old

But it's true

We're only welcome for our drink

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

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

  • 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.
