    So 
    I fol

    her 
    into 
    the black 
    lands 

    Where 
    the win

    behind 
    the lace 

    Even 
    now 
    trying

    what's 
    cooking 

    Just 
    John 
    the Baptist 
    in 
    the park 
    getting 

    laid 
    thinking 
    there's 
    no-one 
    looking 

    look
    ing 

    And 
    its 
    eighty 
    degrees

    Her 
    house 
    was 
    a dusty 
    collec

    of 
    rusty 

    Confusion 
    with 
    landings 
    and tun
    nels 

    And 
    leaning 
    bookcases 
    and 
    spaces 

    and 
    faces 
    and 
    things 

    Where 
    twenty-five 
    Pu

    Ricans, 

    Man

    Mohicans 

    And 
    Jewish-Italian

    Pawn
    brokers 

    Lead 
    their 
    theatrical 
    lives 
    in 

    their 
    rooms 
    in 
    the wings 

    While 
    outside 
    in 
    the black 
    lands 

    The vi
    ol
    ent 
    day 
    run
    wild 

    And the 
    black 
    and white 
    minstrels 

    run 
    through the 
    crazy 

    Alleys 
    while 
    the cops 
    go 
    book
    ing 

    And 
    ruthless 
    toothless 
    agents 
    sneak 

    around 
    and 
    there's no-one 
    looking 

    look
    ing 

    And 
    it's 
    eighty 
    degrees 
    and 
    I'm 
    down 

    on 
    my 
    knees 
    in 
    Brook
    lyn 

    Verse 3
    And 
    oh, 
    I'm 
    back 
    in 
    the 
    city 

    again 

    You can 
    tell 
    by 
    the smell 
    of the 

    hamburger 
    stand 
    in the 
    rain 

    Verse 4

    She 
    spoke 
    of 
    astrology 
    while 

    muttering 
    apo
    logies 

    For 
    coffee 
    that tasted 
    of 
    hot 
    dogs 

    I said, 
    That's 
    OK, 
    mine 
    was 
    cold 
    anyway, 

    and 
    just 
    grand 

    Then she 
    lay 
    on 
    the bed 

    while 
    the 
    ra
    dio 
    fed 

    Us 
    with 
    records 
    and 
    adverts 
    for 
    cat 
    food 

    And 
    looked 
    at 
    her, 

    holding 
    my 
    thoughts 
    in 
    the 
    palm 
    of 
    my 
    hand 

    And 
    outside 
    in 
    the black 
    lands 

    The even
    ing 
    came 
    and 
    went 

    And the 
    bums 
    in the 
    street 
    begging 

    money 
    for one 
    last 
    drink 

    Are hanging 
    round 
    the liquor 
    stores 

    trying 
    to get 
    a foot 
    in 

    And the 
    girl 
    from Pittsburgh 
    and I 
    made 
    love 

    on a mattress 
    with 
    the new 
    moon 
    look
    ing 

    And 
    in the 
    cool 
    evening 
    breeze 
    was 

    down 
    on 
    my knees 
    in 
    Brooklyn

      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.
