Verse 1
D
How have you been, my darling children
While I have been away in the
West?
Though you are strangers
C
D
I feel like I know you
G
By the way that you treat me and offered to feed
D
A
me and eagerly ask if I'll stay for a rest
D
Now sit yourselves down
C
D
in a pile here before me
C
I wish I had presents for
G
D
each of your smiles
C
But I have been traveling
D
without much to carry
G
Just a broken guitar case
with tape on the side
A bag and a few signs to
D
A
help me get right
D
C
D
But here are some beads from
G
D
the throat of a princess
C
D
Who reigned in the years round 200
G
D
B .C.
C
Divide them and wear them and
G
D
make sure to share them
G
Cause I want you to have them in hopes that you'll
D
A
be as lovely as the lady who gave them to me
D
C
And here is a strange
G
D
European guitar string I found
C
G
on the floor of a club in
D
Marseille
C
It's fat for the third string and
G
D
skinny for the fourth string
G
But I kept it in hopes that
I'd use it someday
It's funny how people just
D
A
keep things that way
D
C
G
And here is a turtle from the
Long
Island
D
Expressway
C
He says that his home has
G
D
been covered with tar
C
So I gave him a ride on the
G
D
back of my suitcase
G
And he says that he'd like
to stay here in your yard
At long last his life won't
D
A
be quite so hard
D
C

How have you been, my darling children
C
G

While I have been away in the west
C
Though you are strangers,
G

I feel like I know you
G
By the way that you treat me
and offer to feed me

And eagerly ask if I'll stay for rest

By the way that you treat me
and offer to feed me

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
