I was drinkin'
Verse 1

on the city bus at Windy
D
G

With my hands tremblin'
C
G

And a junkie was screaming,

it was the end of the world,
G
C
Em
G

I'm just remembering
D
Em

You and I would walk up Broadway,
D
G

talking about all the things that
Em
D

we would do
C
Em
D

But I heard that you got married to a fella
G
C
Em
G

That had a waterfront view
C

From the waterfront,
D

from the quay into the
Em
C
Em

Bondi skies
G
C

From the wa terfront,

we set the sails
D
Em
G

and let the evening get us high
C

But I'm on the hunt my love,
D

to get through my work,
Em
D
C

and look you in the eye

But they took away our fun,
D
G
C

and left us in this prison paradise
G
C
Em

In prison paradise
D

on a wa terfront

Today I walked around

From the same place,
D
G
C
Em

drunk from the past in the sun
G
C
Em

And all the cafe grits say this is it
D
G
D
Em
D

Well I hope they haven't won
G
Em

But we used to make that music
D
G

And start revolution in

Em
D

the street
G
C
Em

Take our friends into the strip joints
D

and complain about the
G
C
Em
D

Darlinghurst heat
G
C

But all the wa terfront ancestors,
D

they sold their ships
Em
G

and cried upon the shore
C

Boys that came in chains

and drank their shame
D
Em
G

And the English broke their stone
C

They went on the hunt, my love
D

Stopped the dreamin' with their
Em
D
C

fire and snow and ice

They weren't the first ones,

here won't be the last
D

This is not our prison paradise
G
C
Em

It's this, a prison paradise

On the waterfront

Went to the place where
G
C

we grew up

Where we drank in the park

and we never got caught
G

I'm born two years

and you told me you loved me

While the private school kids fought
F
G

I joined a band in a King Street bar
C

When there was stealing on the ground
G

But now nobody comes to the shows

And we all melt and melt
F
G

When B .E .R. and Sonic come
C

They were put in chains

or pulled on the run
G
D
G

Just so that you could have your fun
Em
D
C

It's not the same for everyone

Is this comfortable?
D

Is this nice?
Em

Your prison paradise

  • 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.
