Verse 1
C
G
C
D
Oh your pictures they don't
G
Am
E
really do you justice little girl
Am
F
For you're careful not to let the camera
Am
E
touch your private world
C
G
And there's just a hint of sadness
Am
E
in your smile through the dark
Am
As you slip your dress off slowly
F
Am
E
for the sailor or the clerk
Am
And it could have been so different,
D
and at times you feel bad
Am
For you really did have something
D
that the others never had
C
F
C
Dm
F
And the circle turns and turns and turns so mad,
little girl
C
G

Am
Verse 2
D
C
G
Ah you must have been just fifteen
Am
E
when you made your mind up first
Am
F
That you'd make it in the movies
Am
E
and you couldn't lose the thirst
C
G
And it took you to the attic where
Am
E
the Agent King holds Court
Am
F
And his courtesans are fully
Am
E
paid up losers of a sort
Am
E
He looks at you and tells you that
Am
D
F#dim
you just might get the part
D
Am
But you don't get things for nothing and he
F#dim
D
doesn't want your heart
C
G
C
G
F
And the circle turns and turns and turns so mad,

Verse 3
C
G
Mmm, you made it to the silver screen
Am
E
and yet you're not a star
Am
F
And advertising corsets
Am
E
didn't get you too far
C
G
But money has its favourites
Am
E
and yours went back to them
Am
F
So you modelled in a studio in
Am
E
Greek Street for the rent
Am
E
There you met Antonio,
Am
C
Am
D
F#dim
your lov er from afar
D
Am
E
Who put you on the streets to make

the money for his car
C
G

And the circle turns and turns and turns so fast,
little girl
C
G
Verse 4
C
G
C
Ah, your pictures they don't
G
Am
E
really do you justice any more
Am
F
For they're crumpled now and faded
Am
E
and were taken long ago
C
G
And that faintly coy expression
Am
E
has now left without a trace
Am
F
Ah there's little of it buried
Am
E
in the ruins of your face
Am
It could have been so different,
D
and at times you feel bad
F#dim
Am
For you really did have something that
C
F#dim
D

the others nev er had

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.”
