    Verse 1
    C

    My grandparents
    G
    C
    F

    used to take us down

    to the ice skating show
    C

    Oh, at the hockey rink, at the stadium,
    G
    C

    when the Blackhawks were on the roll,

    we would
    G

    They cheered for the clowns
    C

    in their costumes
    F

    And the beautiful figure ballet
    C

    Of the former Olympic champions
    G
    C
    Am

    Who would spin on the frozen spray

    But there was one moment
    G
    D
    G

    in that whole spectacular show
    F

    When the band would
    C

    strike up a quiet waltz
    F

    And they'd turn the lights down low
    C
    G
    C

    Old smoothies to old people on skates
    F

    They were sequenced
    C

    septuagenarians
    G
    C

    doing the figure eights,
    F

    how they'd glide around the arena
    C

    so serene and sublime.
    G
    C
    F
    C

    They had been the old smoothies
    G
    C
    F
    C
    F

    for a long, long time.
    C
    G

    C
    G
    C

    Where did they get the stamina
    F
    C

    How did they stay in shape
    F
    C

    I know that that took a lion's share
    G
    C

    of the liniment, pride, and tape.

    My grandparents smiled
    G
    C

    as the smoothies would
    F
    C

    glide and peer away.
    F

    Then Grandpa reached for
    C

    Grandma's hands
    G
    C

    and Grandma's eyes got wet.
    Am

    The spotlight followed

    the smoothies,
    G
    D
    G

    circled the ice and bowed.
    F
    C

    That must have been twenty years ago,
    G
    C
    F

    but I can see it now.
    C
    G
    C

    Old smoothies to old people on skates
    G
    F
    C

    Sequenced septuagenarians
    G
    C

    who were doing their figure eights
    F

    How they'd glide around the arena
    C
    G
    C

    so serene and sublime
    F
    C

    They had been the old smoothies
    G

    They had been the old smoothies

    • 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.”
