    Verse 1
    He 
    painted 

    Salford's smokey 
    tops 

    On 
    cardboard 
    boxes 
    from 
    the shops 

    And parts 
    of 
    an
    coats 

    where 
    used 
    to play 

    I'm 
    sure 
    he once 
    walked 

    down 
    our 
    street 

    'Cause he 
    painted 
    kids 

    who had 
    nowt 
    on their 
    feet 

    The 
    clothes 
    we wore 
    had all 
    seen 

    better 
    days 

    Verse 2

    Now 
    they 
    said 
    his works 
    of 
    art 
    were dull 

    No 
    room 
    all 
    round, 
    the walls 
    are full 

    But 
    Lowry 
    didn't 
    care 
    much 
    anyway 

    They said 
    he just 

    paints 
    cats 
    and 
    dogs 

    And 
    matchstalk men 
    in boots 
    and 
    clogs 

    And 
    Lowry 
    said 
    that's 
    just 

    the way 
    they'll 
    stay 

    And he 
    painted 
    Verse 3
    matchstalk men 

    and 
    matchstalk cats 
    and 
    dogs 

    He 
    painted 
    kids 
    on the 
    corner 
    of the 

    street 
    that were 
    sparking 
    clogs 

    Now 
    he 
    takes 
    his 
    brush 
    and he waits 

    Out
    side 
    them 
    factory 
    gates 

    To 
    paint 
    his 
    matchstalk men 
    and 

    matchstalk cats 
    and 
    dogs 

    Verse 4
    Now 
    canvas 
    and brushes 

    were 
    wearing 
    thin 

    When 
    London 
    started 
    calling 
    him 

    To 
    come on 
    down 
    and 

    wear 
    the 
    old 
    flat 
    cap 

    They 
    said 
    tell 
    us all 
    about 
    your ways 

    And 
    all 
    about 
    them 
    Salford 
    days 

    Is it 
    true 
    you're just 
    an ordinary 
    chap? 

    And he 
    painted 
    Verse 5
    matchstalk men 
    and 

    matchstalk cats 
    and 
    dogs 

    He painted 
    kids 
    on the 
    corner 
    of the street 

    that were sparking 
    clogs 

    Now 
    he 
    takes 
    his 
    brush 
    and he waits 

    Out
    side 
    them 
    factory 
    gates 

    To 
    paint 
    his 
    matchstalk men and 

    matchstalk cats 
    and 
    dogs 

    Verse 6
    Now 
    Lowry's 
    hang 
    upon 
    the wall 

    Be
    side 
    the greatest 
    of 
    them all 

    And even 
    the 
    Mona 
    Lisa 
    takes 
    a bow 

    This 
    tired 
    old 
    man 
    with 
    hair like 
    snow 

    Told 
    northern 
    folk 
    it's 
    time 
    to go 

    The 
    fever 
    came 
    and the 
    good 

    lord 
    mopped 
    his 
    brow 

    And he 
    left 
    us 
    Verse 7
    matchstalk men 
    and 

    matchstalk cats 
    and 
    dogs

      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.
