    D

    I'm a victim of telephone.
    E

    When I lay down to sleep,
    D

    dream the wishing well, it rings.


    Have you a new play
    E

    for the broken down theater?

    When I write in my notebook
    D

    poem, it rings.

    Buster Keaton's under the Brooklyn Bridge


    on Frankfort and Pearl.
    E

    When I unsheathe my skin,

    extend my cock towards someone's thighs,

    D

    fat or thin, boy or girl, ting -a -ling,

    please get him out of jail,
    C#b
    Abb

    the police are crashing down.
    D
    E

    When I lift the soup spoon to my lips,

    the phone on the floor begins purring.

    Hello, it's me.

    I'm in the park with two
    D

    bros from Iowa.
    E

    Nowhere to sleep last night.
    D

    Hit him in the mouth.
    E

    When I'm mused at smoke
    D

    crawling over the roof

    outside my street window

    purifying eternity

    with my eye observation

    of gray vaporous columns in the sky.
    E

    Ring ring. Hello. This is

    Esquire.
    D

    Be a dear and finish your political

    commitment manifesto.

    When I listen to radio presidents

    roaring on the convention floor,
    E

    the phone also chimes in.
    Abb

    Rush up to Harlem with us
    D

    and see the riots.
    E
    D

    Always a telephone linked to all the hearts of the world beating at once,
    E
    D

    crying, my husband's gone,
    E

    my boyfriend's busted forever,

    my poetry was rejected,

    won't you come over for money and

    please
    D

    won't you write me a piece of bullshit,


    how are you dear,
    E

    can you come to East Hampton,
    D

    we're all here bathing in the ocean,


    we're all so lonely,

    and I laid down back on my palate
    E

    contemplating a 50 phone bill,

    broke, drowsy, anxious,
    D

    my heart fearful
    E

    of the fingers dialing, the death,
    D

    the singing of the telephone bells,

    ringing at dawn,
    D

    ringing all afternoon,

    ringing up midnight,

    ringing now forever.

    • 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.”
