    In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

    One town's very like another

    When your head's down

    It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity

    To be looking at the board,

    not looking at the city
    Dm

    Whaddya mean?

    Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
    Am

    Tea, girls, warm, sweet

    Some are set up in the

    Somerset Maugham suite

    Get thai'd, you're talking to a tourist

    Whose every move's among the purest

    I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

    Am

    Siam's gonna be the the witness

    To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness

    This grips me more than would a

    Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
    Dm

    And thank God I'm only watching

    the game, controlling it
    Am

    I don't see you guys rating

    The kind of mate I'm contemplating

    I'd let you watch, I would invite you

    But the queens we use
    Dm

    would not excite you

    So you better go back to your bars,

    your temples

    • 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.
