    We'd 
    like to do 
    a song 
    from a 

    Broadway 
    show. 

    The show 
    is 

    Paint 

    Your 

    Wagon, 
    and the 
    song 
    is 

    Talk 
    to the 

    Trees. 


    talk 
    to 
    the trees 

    And 
    they 
    nev
    er 
    listen 
    to 
    me 

    talk 
    to 
    the 
    stars 

    But 
    they 
    never 
    hear 
    me. 

    The 
    breeze 
    hasn't 
    time 

    To 
    stop 
    and 
    hear 
    what 
    say. 

    talk 
    to 
    them 
    all 

    In 
    vain. 

    But 
    sud
    denly 
    my 
    words 

    Read 
    someone 
    else's 
    ears. 

    Touch 
    someone 
    else's 
    heart 

    Stupid 
    song 

    Every 
    time 
    that I 
    hear 
    you 
    sing that 
    song 

    I think, 
    boy, 
    what a 
    stupid 
    song 

    Yeah, 
    you think 
    it 

    But 
    you 
    really 
    pick a 
    fine time 

    to tell 
    me about 
    it 

    Well, 
    I wanted 
    to surprise 
    you 

    Yes, 
    you 
    succeeded 

    You 
    surprised me 

    But 
    for 
    your information 

    Talk 
    to 
    the 

    Trees 
    is not 
    stupid 

    It's 
    from a 
    hit 

    Broadway 
    show 

    Entitled 

    Paint 

    Your 

    Wagon 

    Which was 
    a great show 

    lot of 
    great songs 

    Painter 
    wagon? 

    Sounds 
    like 
    a stupid 
    show 
    and a 

    stupid 
    song 

    And anybody 
    can 
    make it with a 

    show or 
    a song like 
    that 

    It's 
    got 
    to be a stupid 
    dumb 
    weirdo 
    freak 

    All 
    right, I agree 
    with you 

    The 
    show happens 
    to be 
    about a 

    young man very 
    much 
    like yourself 

    Maybe 
    spoke a 
    little hastily 
    there 

    it's 
    about 
    a young man 
    very much 
    like my 

    brother 
    he's young 
    and 
    shy 
    and bashful 

    very 
    timid 
    but 
    he's 
    so 
    much 
    in love 
    and 

    that makes 
    everything all 
    right he 
    was 

    so much in 
    love it was 
    his first 
    love but 

    he was so 
    bashful 
    that he was afraid 

    to tell 
    his sweetheart that 
    he loved 
    her 

    and she knew 
    not of 
    his love 
    but 
    he had 

    to tell 
    someone 
    or something 
    because of 

    this frustration 
    this 
    terrible feeling 

    was building 
    up within 
    him and 
    finally 

    he did a very 
    beautiful thing 
    he went 

    Did he 
    tell her that 
    he loved her? 

    No. 

    He never 
    did. 

    He wished he 
    could. 

    He wished 
    he had the courage 
    to walk 
    up to her 
    and 
    take 
    her 
    by the hand 

    and look deeply 
    into her eyes 
    and say 
    very simply 
    and truthfully, 

    love you. 

    love 
    you 
    very much. 

    And I 
    only 
    hope that 
    one day you 
    may grow to 

    love me half 
    as 
    much as I 
    love you right 
    now. 

    will. 

    Because 

    I... 

    That's 
    just enough. 

    But 
    he couldn't do 
    that. 

    So 
    one 
    day he went 
    out 

    in the countryside 

    and he tried to 
    communicate 

    with mother 
    nature's 

    wise old 
    trees 
    and talk 
    to 
    these trees 

    and tell 
    these marvels 
    of nature's, 

    these 
    wise 
    old trees 
    of his great 

    He's a 
    real nut. 

    No, 
    he's not a 
    nut. 

    Sneaking 
    off 
    into the 
    forest 

    to talk 
    to the 
    trees. 

    Tommy, 
    that's not 
    what he did. 

    Hi there, 

    Mr. 

    Tree. 

    How are 
    you? 

    How's 

    Mrs. 

    Tree? 

    All 
    the little 
    bushes. 

    Guy 
    like 
    that wouldn't 

    talk to 
    a fire 

    He didn't. 

    Fire hydrant? 

    What do you mean 
    fire 

    Hi there, 
    fire hydrant. 

    Somebody just been 
    talking to this big 

    old tree 
    over here. 

    Certainly 
    have a lot 
    in common, 
    you two. 

    All 
    right, 
    now that is 
    just enough. 

    you. 

    you. 

    you. 

    Thank 

    Thank 

    Thank 

    Tommy, 

    don't 
    you 
    understand 
    at all? 

    a second. 

    Hi there, 
    stage. 

    Used to 
    be a tree, 
    didn't ya? 

    You 
    are 
    a very 
    shallow, 

    callow 
    individual. 

    You have made fun 
    of this song. 


    You haven't even 
    tried to 

    understand. 

    Who's your fat 
    friend? 

    It used 
    to be 
    a treat, didn't 
    ya, 

    Paddy? 

    You 
    leave my bass 
    alone 

    See 
    you hang around 

    with the wrong type 
    of people 

    Shut up! 

    You really 
    should be 
    proud of 
    yourself 

    Really, 
    you 
    should be very 
    proud of 
    yourself 

    You 
    stood up 
    here and you ridiculed 
    me 

    You 
    ridiculed this 
    song, 

    you ridiculed 
    a wonderful 
    show 

    And 
    you 
    think 
    everybody's 

    proud of 
    you out there 

    You 
    think they're all 
    looking up there 
    and saying, oh, 

    why? 

    Isn't he a 
    sharp, clever 
    boy? 

    No, 
    they're all 
    staring 
    at you 

    They're 
    staring 
    and wondering 
    and 
    they've 

    you know 
    what you've 
    shown them 

    You've 
    shown 
    them how crass 
    how 
    shallow 
    how unfeeling 
    an individual 

    can 
    be how 
    totally 
    void 
    of any 
    poetic beauty 
    in your entire 
    makeup 

    You're 
    tired soul. 

    You 
    didn't understand 
    the 
    song you 

    ridiculed 
    me and 
    you come 
    down 

    I'm 
    not you too. 

    That's all I've 
    got to say 
    you you 
    what? 

    Oh, 
    yeah. 

    Yeah 

    don't care 
    what you do 
    know you didn't 
    like go 
    ahead you 

    talked 
    you talked 
    mean to 
    mean and 
    you 
    said that 
    I am 

    any 
    sensitivity 
    and 
    I was 
    a crass shallow 

    person. 
    happen to 
    be a person 
    too 

    Dickie 
    and I have 

    sensitivity 
    and I 
    have feeling and 
    I have love 

    in my heart. 
    I'm 
    sensitive 
    to 
    every little 
    blade 

    of grass 
    that grows, 

    but 
    I wouldn't 
    talk 
    to them. 

    you.

      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.
