Verse 1
G

He went to Paris, looking for answers
C
G

To questions that bothered him so

He was impressive, young and aggressive
C
D

Savin' the world on his own
C

But the warm summer breezes
G

The French wines and cheeses
C
D

Put his ambition at bay
G

His summers and winters

Scattered like splinters
C
D
G

And four to five years slipped away
Verse 2
G

Then he went to England

Played the piano
C
G

And married an actress named Kim

They had a fine life, she was a good wife
C
D

And bore him a young son named Jim
C
G

And all of the answers, and all of the questions
C
D

He locked in his attic one day
G

'Cause he liked the quiet, clean country livin'
C
D
G

And twenty more years slipped away

Verse 3
G

Well, the war took his baby

Bombs killed his lady
C
G

And left him with only one eye

His body was battered

His whole world was shattered
C
D

And all he could do was just cry
C
G

While the tears were falling, he was recalling
C
D

Answers he'd never found
G

So he hopped on a freighter,

skidded the ocean
C
D
G

And left England without a sound
G
G

Verse 4
G

Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilings
C
G

And drinks his green label each day

Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
C
D

But he don't care what most people say
C
G

Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
C
D

If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say:
G

"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
C
D
G

But I had a good life all the 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.
