I first heard you sing in the Empire Room

Your husky hum engulfed the gloom.

And whatever mission that

brought me there

Disappeared in the mist
G
A
of your amber hair
Verse 2
D
You laughed and surrendered
Em
your gifts by degrees
A
But I was convinced that
G

you spoke only to me.

And my life turned on its

hinge in that smoky club
A
As I ground out my past with
G
my cigarette stub.

Oh, I do it for you,

Jane- - I love you so,

reaching towards a time,

When I'd return to find you and
G
A
finally make you mine.

D
Em
It took most of two years to do
what must be done,
A
Collect the pieces of the puzzle,

you're the final one.

you know by now I guess,

You made me happy ever

after when you said yes.

D
If life could only stay the same but
Em
i guess it never does,

But God I still remember how

excited I was.

Em
Feelings of power I'd never
known before,
A
But winning whets the appetite,
G
A
I had to have more.
Verse 8
D
Homes in New York and London
Em
on the beach at Malibu,
A
I bought one for each

facet of woman in you.

By then you had retired from singing

to bring our baby home,

And I was winging around the country
G

and you found you were alone.

Still, I do it for you,
G
Em
Jane- - I love you so,

Our kingdom is flourishing

and still it will grow.
Our castles all shimmer

with silver and gold,

But my lady is lonely

your smile is growing cold.

As I search through the mists on
F#m

the roads I must go,

Where are you now,

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.”
