    Verse 1
    be
    lieve 
    that 
    you 
    heard 
    your 
    master 
    sing 

    When 
    was 
    sick 
    in 
    bed 

    sup
    pose 
    that 
    he 
    told 
    you 
    everything 

    That 
    keep 
    locked 
    away 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    Your 
    master 
    took 
    you 
    travelling 

    Well, 
    at 
    least 
    that's 
    what 
    you 
    said 

    And 
    now 
    do 
    you 
    come 
    back 
    to 
    bring 

    Your 
    prisoner 
    wine 
    and 
    bread? 


    Verse 2
    You 
    met 
    him 
    at 
    some 
    temple 

    Where 
    they 
    take 
    your 
    clothes 
    at 
    the 
    door 

    He 
    was 
    just 
    numberless 
    man 
    in 
    chair 

    Who'd 
    just 
    come 
    back 
    from 
    the 
    war 

    And 
    you 
    wrap 
    up 
    his 
    tired 
    face 
    in 
    your 
    hair 

    And 
    he 
    hands 
    you 
    the 
    apple 
    core 

    Then 
    he 
    touches 
    your 
    lips 

    now 
    so 
    suddenly 
    bare 

    Of 
    all 
    the 
    kisses 
    we 
    put 
    on 
    some 
    time 
    be
    fore 


    Verse 3
    And 
    he 
    gave 
    you 
    German 
    Shepherd 
    to 
    walk 

    With 
    collar 
    of 
    leather 
    and 
    nails 

    And 
    he 
    never 
    once 
    made 
    you 
    ex
    plain 
    or 
    talk 

    About 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    little 
    de
    tails 

    Such 
    as 
    who 
    had 
    word 
    and 
    who 
    had 
    rock 

    And 
    who 
    had 
    you 
    through 
    the 
    mails 

    Now 
    your 
    love 
    is 
    secret 
    all 
    over 
    the 
    block 

    And 
    it 
    never 
    stops, 

    not 
    even 
    when 
    your 
    master 
    fails 


    Verse 4
    And 
    he 
    took 
    you 
    up 
    in 
    his 
    aeroplane 

    Which 
    he 
    flew 
    without 
    any 
    hands 

    And 
    you 
    cruised 
    above 
    the 
    ribbons 
    of 
    rain 

    That 
    drove 
    the 
    crowd 
    from 
    the 
    stands 

    Then 
    he 
    killed 
    the 
    lights 
    in 
    lonely 
    lane 

    And 
    an 
    ape 
    with 
    angel 
    glands 

    E
    rased 
    the 
    final 
    wisps 
    of 
    pain 

    With 
    the 
    music 
    of 
    rubber 
    bands 


    Verse 5
    And 
    now 
    hear 
    your 
    master 
    sing 

    You 
    kneel 
    for 
    him 
    to 
    come 

    His 
    body 
    is 
    golden 
    string 

    That 
    your 
    body 
    is 
    hanging 
    from 

    His 
    body 
    is 
    golden 
    string 

    My 
    body 
    has 
    grown 
    numb 

    Oh, 
    now 
    you 
    hear 
    your 
    master 
    sing 

    Your 
    shirt 
    is 
    all 
    un
    done 


    Verse 6
    And 
    will 
    you 
    kneel 
    be
    side 
    this 
    bed 

    That 
    we 
    polished 
    so 
    long 
    a
    go 

    Be
    fore 
    your 
    master 
    chose 
    instead 

    To 
    make 
    my 
    bed 
    of 
    snow? 

    Your 
    eyes 
    are 
    wild 

    and 
    your 
    knuckles 
    are 
    red 

    And 
    you're 
    speaking 
    far 
    too 
    low 

    No, 
    can't 
    make 
    out 

    what 
    your 
    master 
    said 

    Be
    fore 
    he 
    made 
    you 
    go 


    Verse 7
    And 
    think 
    you're 
    playing 
    far 
    too 
    rough 

    For 
    lady 
    who's 
    been 
    to 
    the 
    moon 

    I've 
    lain 
    by 
    this 
    window 
    long 
    enough 

    To 
    get 
    used 
    to 
    an 
    empty 
    room 

    And 
    your 
    love 
    is 
    some 
    dust 

    in 
    an 
    old 
    man's 
    cuff 

    Who 
    is 
    tapping 
    his 
    foot 
    to 
    tune 

    And 
    your 
    thighs 
    are 
    ruin, 

    you 
    want 
    too 
    much 

    Let's 
    say 
    you 
    came 
    back 
    sometime 
    too 
    soon 


    Verse 8
    loved 
    your 
    master 
    perfectly 

    And 
    taught 
    him 
    all 
    that 
    he 
    knew 

    He 
    was 
    starving 
    in 
    some 
    deep 
    mystery 

    Like 
    man 
    who 
    is 
    sure 
    what 
    is 
    true 

    And 
    sent 
    you 
    to 
    him 
    with 
    my 
    guarantee 

    could 
    teach 
    him 
    something 
    new 

    And 
    taught 
    him 
    how 

    you 
    would 
    long 
    for 
    me 

    No 
    matter 
    what 
    he 
    said, 

    no 
    matter 
    what 
    you'd 
    do 


    Verse 9
    be
    lieve 
    that 
    you 
    heard 
    your 
    master 
    sing 

    While 
    was 
    sick 
    in 
    bed 

    I'm 
    sure 
    that 
    he 
    told 
    you 
    everything 

    must 
    keep 
    locked 
    away 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    Your 
    master 
    took 
    you 
    travelling 

    Well, 
    at 
    least 
    that's 
    what 
    you 
    said 

    And 
    now 
    do 
    you 
    come 
    back 
    to 
    bring 

    Your 
    prisoner 
    wine 
    and 
    bread

    • 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.
