    Verse 2
    Euston 
    Station, 
    the 
    train 
    journey 
    north 

    In 
    the 
    buffet 
    car 
    we 
    lurched 
    back 
    and 
    forth 

    Past 
    old 
    crooked 
    dikes, 

    through 
    Yorkshire's 
    green 
    fields 

    We 
    were 
    flung 
    into 
    dance 

    as 
    the 
    train 
    jigged 
    and 
    reeled

    Verse 3
    By 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    the 
    moon 

    she'd 
    drift 
    through 
    the 
    streets 

    A 
    rare 
    old 
    per
    fume 
    so 
    se
    ductive 
    and 
    sweet 

    She'd 
    tease 
    us 
    and 
    flirt 

    as 
    the 
    pubs 
    all 
    closed

    Verse 4
    The 
    gas 
    heater's 
    empty, 

    it's 
    damp 
    as 
    a 
    tomb 

    The 
    spirits 
    we 
    drank 

    are 
    now 
    ghosts 
    in 
    the 
    room 

    I'm 
    knackered 
    a
    gain, 

    come 
    on 
    sleep 
    take 
    me

    And 
    don't 
    lift

    'til 
    the 
    twelve 
    bells 
    of 
    noon

      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.
