    Verse 1
    Down 
    on 
    Cyprus 
    Avenue 

    With 
    child
    like 
    vision 
    leaping 
    into 
    view 

    Clicking 
    clacking 
    of 
    the 
    high 
    heeled 
    shoe 

    Ford 
    and 
    Fitzroy, 
    and 
    Madame 
    George 

    Marching 
    with 
    the 
    soldier 
    boy 
    behind 

    He's 
    much 
    older 
    now 

    with 
    hat 
    on 
    drinking 
    wine 

    And 
    that 
    smell 
    of 
    sweet 
    per
    fume 

    comes 
    drifting 
    through 

    All 
    the 
    cool 
    night 
    air 
    like 
    Shalimar 

    Verse 2
    And 
    outside 
    they're 
    making 
    all 
    the 
    stops 

    The 
    kids 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    street 

    col
    lecting 
    bottle-tops 

    Gone 
    for 
    cigarettes 

    and 
    matches 
    in 
    the 
    shops 

    Hap
    py 
    taken 
    Madame 
    George 

    Woah, 
    that's 
    when 
    you 
    fall 

    Woah-wo-wo-wo-wo- 
    woah 

    That's 
    when 
    you 
    fall 

    Yeah, 
    that's 
    when 
    you 
    fall 

    Verse 3
    When 
    you 
    fall 
    into 
    trance 

    sitting 
    on 
    sofa 

    play
    ing 
    games 
    of 
    chance 

    With 
    your 
    folded 
    arms 

    and 
    history 
    books 
    you 
    glance 

    Into 
    the 
    eyes 
    of 
    Madame 
    George 

    And 
    you 
    think 
    you 
    found 
    the 
    bag 

    You're 
    getting 
    weaker 

    and 
    your 
    knees 
    begin 
    to 
    sag 

    In 
    corner 
    playing 
    dominoes 
    in 
    drag 

    The 
    one 
    and 
    only 
    Madame 
    George 

    Then 
    from 
    outside 

    Verse 4
    The 
    frosty 
    window 
    raps 

    She 
    jumps 
    up 
    and 
    says 

    "Lord, 
    have 
    mercy 
    think 
    that 
    it's 
    the 
    cops" 

    And 
    immediately 

    drops 
    everything 
    she 
    gots 

    Down 
    into 
    the 
    street 
    below 

    And 
    you 
    know 
    you 
    gotta 
    go 

    On 
    that 
    train 
    from 
    Dublin 
    up 
    to 
    Sandy 
    Row 

    Throw
    ing 
    pennies 

    at 
    the 
    bridges 
    down 
    below 

    And 
    the 
    rain, 
    hail, 
    sleet, 
    and 
    snow 

    Say 
    goodbye 
    to 
    Madame 
    Bridge 1
    George 

    Dry 
    your 
    eye 
    for 
    Madame 
    George 

    Wonder 
    why 
    for 
    Madame 
    George 

    Woah 

    And 
    as 
    you 
    leave, 
    the 
    room 
    is 
    filled 
    with 
    music 

    Laughing, 
    music, 
    dancing, 
    music 

    all 
    around 
    the 
    room 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    little 
    boys 

    come 
    around, 
    walking 
    a
    way 
    from 
    it 
    all 

    So 
    cold 

    Verse 5
    And 
    as 
    you're 
    about 
    to 
    leave 

    She 
    jumps 
    up 
    and 
    says 
    "Hey 
    love 

    You 
    forgot 
    your 
    gloves, 
    and 

    The 
    love 
    that 
    loves 

    the 
    love 
    that 
    loves 
    the 
    love 

    That 
    loves 
    the 
    love 
    that 
    loves 
    to 
    love 

    The 
    love 
    that 
    loves 
    to 
    love 
    the 
    love, 

    the

    George 

    Dry 
    your 
    eyes 
    for 
    Madame 
    George

    • 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.
