  • Verse 1
    Oh 
    your 
    pictures 
    they 
    don't 

    really 
    do 
    you 
    justice 
    little 
    girl 

    For 
    you're 
    careful 
    not 
    to 
    let 
    the camera 

    touch 
    your 
    private 
    world 

    And 
    there's 
    just 
    hint 
    of 
    sad
    ness 

    in 
    your smile 
    through 
    the 
    dark 

    As 
    you 
    slip 
    your dress 
    off 
    slowly 

    for 
    the sailor 
    or 
    the clerk 

    And 
    it 
    could 
    have 
    been 
    so 
    different, 

    and at 
    times 
    you 
    feel 
    bad 

    For 
    you 
    really 
    did 
    have 
    something 

    that 
    the 
    others 
    never 
    had 

    And 
    the circle 
    turns 
    and 
    turns 
    and 
    turns 
    so 
    mad, 

    little 
    girl 

    Verse 2

    Ah 
    you 
    must 
    have 
    been 
    just 
    fif
    teen 

    when 
    you 
    made 
    your 
    mind 
    up first 

    That 
    you'd 
    make 
    it 
    in 
    the movies 

    and 
    you 
    couldn't 
    lose 
    the 
    thirst 

    And 
    it 
    took 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    at
    tic 
    where 

    the 
    Agent 
    King 
    holds 
    Court 

    And 
    his 
    courtesans 
    are 
    fully 

    paid 
    up 
    losers 
    of 
    sort 

    He 
    looks 
    at 
    you 
    and 
    tell
    you 
    that 

    you just 
    might 
    get 
    the 
    part 

    But 
    you don't 
    get 
    things 
    for 
    nothing 
    and 
    he 

    doesn't 
    want 
    your 
    heart 

    And 
    the circle 
    turn
    and 
    turns 
    and 
    turn
    so 
    mad, 

    Interlude 1
    little 
    girl 


    Verse 3
    Mmm, you 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    the sil
    ver 
    screen 

    and 
    yet 
    you're 
    not 
    star 

    And 
    advertising 
    cor
    sets 

    didn't 
    get 
    you 
    too 
    far 

    But 
    money 
    has 
    its 
    fa
    vourites 

    and 
    yours 
    went 
    back 
    to 
    them 

    So 
    you 
    mod
    elled 
    in 
    a stu
    dio 
    in 

    Greek 
    Street 
    for 
    the 
    rent 

    There 
    you 
    met 
    Anto
    nio, 

    your 
    lov
    er 
    from 
    afar 

    Who 
    put 
    you 
    on 
    the 
    street
    to make 

    the money 
    for his 
    car 

    And the 
    circle 
    turn
    and 
    turns 
    and turns 
    so fast, 

    little girl 

    Verse 4

    Ah, 
    your 
    pictures 
    they don't 

    really 
    do 
    you justice 
    any more 

    For 
    they're crumpled 
    now 
    and faded 

    and were 
    taken 
    long 
    ago 

    And that 
    faintly 
    coy 
    expres
    sion 

    has now 
    left 
    without 
    a trace 

    Ah 
    there's 
    little 
    of it 
    bur
    ied 

    in the 
    ruins 
    of your 
    face 

    It 
    could have 
    been 
    so different, 

    and at times 
    you 
    feel 
    bad 

    For you 
    really 
    did have 
    something 
    that 

    the oth
    ers 
    nev
    er 
    had 

    And the 
    circle 
    turns 
    and turns 
    and turn
    so 
    mad, 

    little 
    girl 

    Verse 5

    For 
    the circle 
    turn
    s and turns 
    and turn
    so 
    sad, 

    little girl 

    Oh the 
    circle 
    turn
    s and turns 

    and 
    it's 
    too bad, 
    little girl

    • 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.
