Verse 1
G
F
I seem to be hanging out
G
with a slightly older crowd these days.
Have you found that happening
in your lives as well?
It's amazing, isn't it? Well,
must be the more mature vision
that we're attracted to
or something, but anyhow,
they asked me whether I had ever noticed
F
G
how most love songs,
when you boil it right down,
F
G
are songs of yearning for that perfect
F
ideal union one has yet to make
G
F
with that perfect soul one has yet to meet,
G
but together with whom one is destined
F
to trip lightly down the path of life,
G
strewing rosebuds
along the way.
F
G
Baby, baby, baby.
Had I ever noticed that?
C
Well, yes, I said. Truth to tell,
F
I'd even written one or two of myself.
G
And here is, always pending
your agreement,
F
G
F
G
C
the first true life love song.
F
C
G
Not tonight, it's been a day
C
of deals gone down and bills to pay,
F
a lousy boss, a double cross,
and golden chances slipped away.
G
F
I'm tired, and so depressed.
G
C
I hid my eyes while you undressed.
F
It's been a long, day for me.
G
F
I'm tired, so not tonight.
G
C
Marie, not tonight.
G
Marie, hands are cold.
C
I almost feel I'm growing old.
F
A few less hairs, a need for chairs,
G
a dread of hearing fortunes told
F
Your lovely love, I'm proud to say
G
C
But please don't wear that negligee
F
You're lying much too close to me,
G
I'm tired
So not tonight, Marie
C
Oh, God, Marie, I've got no chance
G
C
You simply cast that sidelong glance
F
You scent the room with
sly perfume
G
And let your lovely fingers dance
F
Your lovely lingering fingernails
G
C
A heartless trick that never fails
F
G
Some night they won't get through to me
Em
G
C
But not tonight, Marie
Not tonight, Marie
G
The full moon shines
C
I'm showing all the danger signs
To hell with rest I'll thump my chest
G
I'll swing across the room on vines
F
Marie, I don't care where or how
G
C
For Marie, you purely had it now
F
Some night you won't get through to me,
G
by God
Em
G
C
But not tonight, Marie

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
