    Verse 1
    Once 
    upon 
    a 
    time 

    I 
    stalked 
    the 
    streets 
    on 
    raining 
    evenings 

    When 
    the 
    distant 
    sea 
    blended 

    with 
    the sky 

    Past 
    coliseum's filled 
    with 
    brass 

    on pavements 
    carved 
    from 
    toasted 
    glass 

    I carried 
    in 
    my 
    heart 
    a 
    word 

    or 
    two 

    Verse 2

    You dashing 
    horseman 
    all 
    gone 
    away 

    Left 
    you 
    a stable 
    bill 
    to pay 

    And 
    now 
    the 
    golden 
    calf 

    has 
    turned 
    to 
    clay 

    All 
    my 
    feelings 
    dressed 
    in 
    gloves 

    Couldn't 
    touch 
    your 

    windswept 
    harbour 
    love 

    White 
    and 
    open-necked 
    you 

    you 
    would 
    still 
    play 


    Verse 3
    I'd 
    resort 
    to 
    sleepwalking 
    to 
    catch 

    the 
    mood 
    that 
    fills 
    the 
    sails 

    With 
    harvest 
    nets 
    and 
    tides 

    don't 
    ever 
    bring 

    But 
    every 
    night 
    was 
    halloween, 

    and 
    every 
    friend 
    fell 
    in 
    between 

    And 
    how 
    capricious 
    nature 

    ruled 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 4

    You 
    dashing 
    horseman 
    all 
    gone 
    away 

    Left 
    you 
    a stable 
    bill 
    to 
    pay 

    And 
    now 
    the 
    golden 
    calf 
    has 

    turned 
    to 
    clay 

    All 
    my 
    feelings 
    dressed 
    in 
    gloves 

    Couldn't 
    touch 
    your 

    windswept 
    harbour 
    love 

    White 
    and 
    open-necked 
    you 
    you 

    would 
    still 
    play 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    Once 
    upon 
    a 
    time 
    I 
    stalked 
    the 

    streets

    with 
    brass 
    on 

    pavements 
    carved 
    from 
    toasted 
    glass 

    I 
    carried 
    in my heart 
    a 
    word or 
    two 

    But 
    you 
    would 
    always 
    make 

    me 
    see 
    today 

    Verse 6

    You 
    dashing 
    horseman 
    all 
    gone 
    away 

    Left 
    you 
    a stable 
    bill 
    to

    play 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 7
    I sound 
    so 
    different 
    these 
    days, 

    I 
    barely 
    can 
    believe 
    I'm 
    here 

    If 
    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    bet
    ter, 

    I 
    would 
    swear 
    I 
    was 
    someone 
    else 

    Lord 
    I can't 
    believe, 

    I 
    don't 
    believe 
    I'm 
    me 

    But 
    who on 
    Earth 
    could 
    I 
    be? 

    Verse 8

    You 
    dashing 
    horseman 
    all 
    gone 
    away 

    Left 
    you 
    a stable 
    bill 
    to pay 

    And 
    now 
    the 
    golden 
    calf 

    has

    windswept 
    harbour 
    love

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      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.
