    • Verse 1
    We lived 
    in Pai
    a 

    Hippie 
    central, 

    I could 
    hop 
    to the 
    beach 

    Some
    times 
    we would 

    hitch
    hike 

    Miles to school, 

    school 
    being a figure 
    of speech 

    Where 
    we 
    sang 
    (kahuli aku, 
    kahuli mai) 

    Verse 2
    We 
    lived on 
    a 
    zendo 

    In the 
    forest, 

    si
    lence 
    for days 
    on 
    en
    d 

    Caught 
    up on my 
    reading 

    Huckleberry 
    Finn 
    was my 
    only 
    friend 

    It 
    could 
    have been 
    paradis
    Verse 3
    e 

    But 
    for 
    the 
    horrible 
    bug
    s 

    I could have 
    gone 
    to 
    a 
    real 
    school 

    But 
    for 
    the 
    murderous 
    thug
    s 

    In 
    the forest 
    of 
    paradis
    e 

    We 
    gathered 
    magic 
    mush
    rooms 

    But 
    mostly 
    I 
    sat 
    around 

    In 
    rooms 
    as 
    quiet 
    as tomb
    s 

    It 
    was heaven 

    My mother 
    then took 
    up 
    Verse 4
    with 

    A trumpeter, 

    red beard 
    and pork 
    pie 
    hat 

    Found 
    a lyric 
    of mine 

    He took 
    it 
    home 
    and set 

    music 
    to 
    that 

    To impress 
    my 
    mother 

    He stole 
    my song. 
    Better 
    back 
    off, 
    mister

    Fast 
    forward two 
    decades 

    Same thing 
    happene
    d 
    but with 

    Shakespeare's 
    sister

    Why 
    should 
    it be 
    Verse 5
    paradis
    e? 

    That's 
    just 
    a 
    place 
    people go 

    It was 
    home for 
    a 
    little while 

    But 
    you 
    can 
    give 
    me the snow 

    Give 
    me the snow 

    My friend 
    Shell was 
    named 
    for 
    Verse 6

    A 
    shell on 
    the beach. 
    She spoke 

    pidgin 
    Eng
    lish 

    Everyday 
    I 
    swam out 

    Onto 
    the reef, 
    catching 
    exotic 
    fish 

    Verse 7
    It 
    could 
    have been 
    paradis
    e 

    With 
    one 
    good 
    reason 
    to stay 

    If 
    it 
    had been 
    paradis
    e 

    Guess 
    we'd 
    still 
    be there 
    today 

    Singing 
    away

      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.
