    • Verse 1
    Oh, 
    she 
    danced 
    in 
    the street 

    with 
    the guns 
    all 
    around 
    her 

    All 
    torn 
    like 
    a rag 
    doll, 

    bare
    foot 
    in 
    the rain 

    And she 
    sang 
    like 
    a child, 

    toora- day 
    toor
    a- daddy 

    Oh, 
    how 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    be sim

    ple 
    again 

    Verse 2

    She sat 
    by 
    the banks 
    of 
    the dirty 
    gray 
    river 

    And 
    tried 
    for 
    a fish 

    with a worm 
    on 
    a pin 

    There 
    was 
    nothing 
    but 
    fever 

    and 
    ghosts 
    in 
    the 
    wa
    ter 

    Oh, 
    how 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    be 
    sim
    ple 
    again 

    Verse 3

    War 
    was 
    my 
    love 
    and 
    my 

    friend 
    and 
    companion 

    And 
    what 
    did 
    I 
    care 
    for 

    the pretty 
    and 
    plain 

    But her 
    smile 
    was so 
    clear 
    and my 

    heart 
    was 
    so 
    troubled 

    Oh, 
    how 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    be simple 
    again 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    In her poor 
    burned- 
    out 
    house 

    I sat 
    at 
    her 
    table 

    The smell 
    of 
    her 
    hair 
    was 
    like 

    cornfields 
    in May 

    And 
    I wanted 
    to 
    weep 
    and 
    my 

    eyes 
    ached 
    from 
    try
    ing 

    Oh, 
    how 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    be simple 
    again 

    Verse 5

    So 
    graceful 
    she 
    moved 
    through 

    the dust 
    and 
    the 
    ruin 

    And 
    happy 
    she 
    was 
    in her 

    dances 
    and 
    games 

    Oh, 
    teach 
    me 
    to 
    see 
    with 
    your 

    innocent 
    eye
    s, 
    love 

    Oh, 
    how 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    be sim
    ple 
    again 

    Oh, 
    how 
    will 
    I 
    ever 
    be simple 

    again

      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

      "

      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 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.
