    Verse 1
    He 
    went 
    to 
    Paris, 
    looking 
    for 
    answers 

    To 
    questions 
    that 
    bothered 
    him 
    so 

    He 
    was 
    impressive, 
    young 
    and 
    aggressive 

    Savin' 
    the 
    world 
    on 
    his 
    own 

    But 
    the 
    warm 
    summer 
    breezes 

    The 
    French 
    wines 
    and 
    cheeses 

    Put 
    his 
    ambition 
    at 
    bay 

    His 
    summers 
    and 
    winters 

    Scattered 
    like 
    splinters 

    And 
    four 
    to 
    five 
    years 
    slipped 
    a
    way 

    Verse 2
    Then 
    he 
    went 
    to 
    England 

    Played 
    the 
    piano 

    And 
    married 
    an 
    actress 
    named 
    Kim 

    They 
    had 
    fine 
    life, 
    she 
    was 
    good 
    wife 

    And 
    bore 
    him 
    young 
    son 
    named 
    Jim 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    answers, 
    and 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    questions 

    He 
    locked 
    in 
    his 
    attic 
    one 
    day 

    'Cause 
    he 
    liked 
    the 
    quiet, 
    clean 
    country 
    livin' 

    And 
    twenty 
    more 
    years 
    slipped 
    a
    way 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Well, 
    the 
    war 
    took 
    his 
    baby 

    Bombs 
    killed 
    his 
    lady 

    And 
    left 
    him 
    with 
    only 
    one 
    eye 

    His 
    body 
    was 
    battered 

    His 
    whole 
    world 
    was 
    shattered 

    And 
    all 
    he 
    could 
    do 
    was 
    just 
    cry 

    While 
    the 
    tears 
    were 
    falling, 
    he 
    was 
    recalling 

    Answers 
    he'd 
    never 
    found 

    So 
    he 
    hopped 
    on 
    freighter, 

    skidded 
    the 
    ocean 

    And 
    left 
    Eng
    land 
    without 
    sound 


    Verse 4
    Now 
    he 
    lives 
    in 
    the 
    islands, 
    fishes 
    the 
    pilings 

    And 
    drinks 
    his 
    green 
    label 
    each 
    day 

    Writing 
    his 
    memoirs, 
    losin' 
    his 
    hearin' 

    But 
    he 
    don't 
    care 
    what 
    most 
    people 
    say 

    Through 
    eighty-six 
    years 
    of 
    per
    petual 
    motion 

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

    "Jimmy, 
    some 
    of 
    it's 
    magic, 
    some 
    of 
    it's 
    tragic 

    But 
    had 
    good 
    life 
    all 
    the 
    way." 

    Outro 1
    And 
    he 
    went 
    to 
    Paris, 
    lookin' 
    for 
    answers 

    To 
    questions 
    that 
    bothered 
    him 
    so

    • 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.
