    G

    Verse 1
    Am

    The blue

    it speaks so full.
    Dm
    A

    It's like a beauty one can barely stand.
    Am

    Or too much things dropped
    E

    in your hand.
    Dm
    E
    Am

    And there's a green like the peace in your heart,
    F

    sometimes.

    Painted underneath
    E

    the sheets of ashy snow.
    Am

    And there's a blue like where the urban angels go,
    F

    very bright.
    E

    Now the Calder mobile tips
    Am
    F

    a biomorphic sphere.

    Then it swings its dangling pieces round
    C

    to other paintings here.
    G
    Verse 2

    Am

    Your behavior is so male.
    Dm

    It's like you can't
    Am

    explain yourself to me.
    E

    I think I'll ask Renoir to tea.
    Dm
    E
    Am

    For his flowers are as real as they are,
    F

    all the time.
    E

    And the sunlight sets the furniture aglow.
    Am

    It's a pleasant time as far as people go,
    F

    how far do they go?
    E

    Well his roses are perfect and
    Am
    F

    his words have no wings.

    I know what he can give me and I like to know
    C

    these things.
    Interlude 1
    C
    G
    Am

    C
    G

    Am
    I met her at the funeral.
    Verse 3

    G

    She said I don't know what he meant to me.
    Am
    E

    I just know he affected me.
    Dm
    E
    Am

    An effect not unlike his art,
    F

    I believe.
    E

    The service starts and we are in the know.
    Am

    He had so much to say and more to show,
    F

    and ain't that true of life?
    E

    So we weep for a person who
    Am
    F

    lived at great cost.

    And we barely knew his powers till
    C

    we sensed what we had lost.
    Verse 4
    C
    G

    Am

    A friend and I in a museum room.
    Dm
    Am

    She says, "Look at Mark Rothko's side.
    E

    Did you know about his suicide?
    Dm
    E
    Am

    Some folks were born with a foot in the grave,
    F

    but not me, of course."

    And she smiles as if to say
    E

    we're in the know.

    Then she names a coffee place
    Am

    where we can go, uptown.
    F
    E

    Now the painting is desperate,
    Am
    F

    but the crowds wash away.

    In a world of kind pedestrians who've seen
    Outro 1

    enough today.
    C
    E

    Am

    • 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.”
