I once read this thing
Verse 1


and now I regret it

It did not meet requirements,

so I had to forget it

No longer mine, I can't even express it
Bm

They own the master and
D

won't even press it
Bm
D

If it was made,

then you wouldn't hear it
Bm

They'd have to dissect it, cut it,
D
Bm

and clear it I can't even touch it, or clutch it, and
D

hold it

They own the rights, and still haven't sold

it
Bm
D

All I've left to give up is a ghost
Bm
D

Ain't nobody to get me back
Bm
D

All I've left to give up is ghosts
Bm
D

Ain't nobody getting that

Something was wrong from

the very word go

They obviously knew things
Bm
D

that I didn't know

They'd look for sedition and

sin and subversion

They'd doctor some lyrics

and scrap the dumb version

I once wrote this thing that

was poignant and true

They'd examined its content

and read it right through

Perhaps at some stage they

would bear it in mind

But our public's not ready
Bm
D

for ideas of this kind

All I've left to give up is the ghost
Bm
D

Ain't nobody getting that

All I've left to give for business
Bm
D
Bm
D

Ain't nobody getting that
Bm
D

Their words were direct and

cloaked in politeness

They said I should sing more

and actually write less

With all things considered
Bm
D

their decision was final

It was in all our interest that
Bm
D

it never saw the final
Bm
D

They wanted simplicity,

not something commensal
Bm
D

But I see their po sition,

and that of the censor

They plot out this course that

perhaps I take part in
Bm

Ignoring the stuff that I put all my heart
D
Bm
D
A
D

in
A
D


Bm
D
Bm

I felt it was useless to
D

try and complain
Bm
D

And I knew that I'd never see 18 again

It was based on good sense
Bm

that their judgment fell
D

They'd wait till I
Bm
D

OD'd and then it would sell
Bm
D

My vision was powerful, brutal and stark

But somehow my bullet had

just missed its mark

As I mentally ripped up my

cheque for the floors

They made certain concessions and altered

my thoughts
Bm

It's hard to live with it,

but can't live
D

without it I still might have cracked it,

but I very
Bm

much doubt it I had so much

to offer and so much to say

But I pushed the wrong

button and got in their way

  • 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.
