    D
    B
    A
    D
    Bb

    Louisa was a movie queen
    G

    Before she'd achieved
    A

    the age of sweet sixteen
    D

    Long before Cagney threw those
    G

    girls about
    E
    A

    Little Louisa tossed her curls about
    D
    Daug

    Later when the talkies came
    C
    Em

    The whole world resounded
    C#

    to her fame
    A

    Each time she married

    Every daily paper carried

    Headlines blazing her name

    Not only headlines

    But photographs and interviews

    Every thing she did was news

    that held the world in thrall
    D
    A

    Some say she read lines better than
    D

    Marléne could
    A

    No other entertainer could

    Compete with her at all
    G
    A

    But regardless of the fact

    That she could sing and dance
    B

    and act
    G

    And owned furniture that wasn't
    C
    D
    Dm

    "Little Rockery"
    D
    Em

    And regardless of her gems,
    A
    F#m
    B

    which were hers not MGM's
    Em
    A

    Her life was one long mockery
    Adim
    Gm
    F#dim
    Adim
    Verse 2
    Am

    C
    F

    Louisa was terribly lonely
    Gm

    Sucess brought her naught
    C

    but despair
    Bb

    She derived little fun
    C

    From the oscars she'd won
    F
    Am
    Dm

    And none
    G
    C

    From her home in Bel Aire
    F
    Dm
    F

    She said she was weary of living
    Gm
    A

    On this bestial, terrestrial plane
    D
    Ebdim
    D

    When friends came to visit
    G

    Their hands she would clutch
    C

    Crying, "Tell me why is it
    F

    I suffer so much?
    Bb
    Gdim
    F

    Oh, if only, if only, if only
    Gm
    A
    D

    My life wasn't quite such a strain."
    Gm
    C#

    And soon after that she
    A
    Am
    D

    was terribly lonely
    Gm
    C

    All over again
    F
    Bb
    C
    Verse 3
    F
    C

    F

    Louisa was terribly lonely
    Gm
    C

    Louisa was terribly sad
    F
    Bb

    It ap pears that the cheers
    C
    Bb

    that had rung in her ears
    Dm
    D
    G
    F

    For years had been driving her mad
    C
    F

    She sobbed when men

    offered her sables
    Gm

    And moaned when they gave
    A

    her champagne
    D

    She remarked to her groom
    G

    on their honeymoon night
    C

    As he tenderly kissed her and
    F

    switched off the light
    Bb
    Gm
    Gdim
    Bbm
    F

    "Oh, If only, if only, if only
    Gm

    I'd flung myself out of
    A
    Ebdim
    D

    that plane..."
    Gm
    Bb

    And the very next day she
    A
    D

    was terribly lonely
    Gm
    C

    All over again
    F
    Verse 4

    Louisa was tired of it all

    (Not a call from anyone)
    E

    She gazed like a dazed, frustrated sphinx
    A
    F#m

    At her hundred and eight
    E
    C#m

    new tated minx
    F#m

    And she wrung her hands

    And she beat her breast
    E
    B

    Crying, "My, my, my,

    I'm so depressed."
    E
    Eaug
    E

    Nobody knew the troubles

    she'd seen
    C#

    Nobody knew, but you- know- who
    F#
    B

    The tribula tions of a movie queen
    E
    So, farewell
    Verse 5

    to lovely Louisa
    F#m

    (We'll just let life tease her.)

    Let's leave her searching
    G#

    in vain

    (Find someone to explain.)
    C#

    Why destiny

    Singled her out to be
    F#m

    Only

    Lonely

    Over and over again

    • 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

      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.
