    • Verse 1
    I always 
    debate 
    about doing this 

    next 
    song. 

    I've only done it about 
    three 

    times live. 

    It's a very personal 
    song. 

    It's written 
    about a man 

    who 
    is 
    about to commit suicide. 

    His friends 
    are trying to 
    talk him out 
    of it, 

    and they use 
    all 
    different kinds of 
    bruises 

    to 
    do so. 

    So, 
    in the 
    end, 
    well, 

    I'll 
    let you judge. 

    The song is called Jeff. 



    Now 
    Jeff, 
    the 
    world is wide, 

    we'll 
    get a ladder 

    and 
    we'll climb 
    the 
    other side. 

    Now Jeff, 
    the 
    sky is 
    high 

    and 
    you can climb 
    up to the top 

    if you'll 
    just try. 

    Now 
    Jeff, 
    it 
    doesn't make any sense 

    to 
    stand by the river 

    looking 
    into the 
    deep, 
    dark, 

    muddy 
    depth
    s. 

    Wouldn't 
    it be 
    nicer to 
    go 

    when the water's fresh, 

    when 
    the sun is 
    shining, 

    when there 
    aren't any 
    clouds? 


    Come away from the 
    water, 
    Jeff. 

    Come 
    away 
    from the 
    wa
    ter. 

    Please, 
    Jeff. 

    Come, 
    come, 
    come! 

    I'll 
    play you Spain on 
    my guitar 

    I'll 
    take you walking 
    to the stars 

    Come 
    Jeff, come 

    Around 
    the 
    corner of 

    the room 

    Around the corner 
    to the moon 

    Come, 
    please 
    Jeff, 
    please 

    Nothing's like 
    it seems 

    Nothing's bad in 
    daylight or 

    in dream
    s 

    Please Jeff, 
    come 

    Please 
    Jeff, 
    please 


    Don't worry, 
    Jeff. 

    Come away from 
    the 
    water
    , Jeff, 

    please. 


    Now 
    Jeff, 
    I 
    know a place 
    where 
    we can go 

    and 
    no one 
    knows your face. 

    Jeff, we 
    can see the Yankee 
    movies, 

    if 
    you 
    don't have money, I've 
    got money, 


    I've 
    got enough for two, 

    for me 
    and for you, 
    Jeff. 

    Jeff, 
    we can 
    visit 
    the house 

    over 
    on the 
    Rue de 
    Madeleine, 

    Madame Allard 
    has some new 
    girls, 

    some 
    fat 
    ones, 

    some skinny 
    ones, 

    some 
    pretty ones, 
    some 
    ugly ones. 

    Come 
    with 
    me, Jeff. 

    Please, 
    Jeff. 

    Come away 
    from the water, Jeff. 

    Please. 
    Please. 

    Please, 
    Jeff. 

    Please. 
    Come! 

    I'll play you 
    Spain on 
    my guitar. 


    I'll take you walking 

    to the stars. 

    Come, Jeff, come. 

    Nothing's 
    like it seems. 

    Nothing's 
    bad in daylight 

    or in 
    dreams. 

    Come, Jeff, 
    come. 

    Around 
    the 
    corner of 
    the moon, 

    around the corner 
    of the room. 

    Please, Jeff, 

    come. 

    Don't throw your life 
    away. 

    Wait another 
    day. 

    Please, 
    Jeff, 
    please. 

    Please, 
    come 

    away from the water 

    Jeff, 
    please, 
    come, 

    I'll 
    play you spain 
    on my guitar, 


    I'll take you walking to 
    the 

    stars, come 

    Jeff, come, 

    around the 
    corner of the moon, 

    around 
    the corner of 
    the room, 

    please 

    Jeff, come, 

    nothing's 
    like it 
    seems, 

    nothing's 
    bad in

    For 
    Christ's sake, 
    Jeff, 

    come away from 
    the water!

      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 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.
