Chuck Berry

Verse 1
G
(Recitation)
Once in Persia reigned a king who upon his royal ring
Em
C
carved these words so true and wise
G
Which when held before his eyes gave him counsel
at a glance of his life of changing chance
D
Solemn words and these are they: "Even
this shall pass away"
G
Verse 2
C
Trains of camels through the sand
G
brought him gems from Samarkand
C
Fleets of galleys through the sea brought him
pearls to match with thee
G
But he counted not his gain nor his treasure,
mine or main
D
"What is wealth ?", the king would say,
"Even this shall pass away"
G
Verse 3
In the revel of his court,
at the zenith of his sport
When the palms of all his guests
burned with clapping at his zest
C
He among his figs and wine would cry,
G
"Oh, loving friends of mine
D
Pleasures may come, but they cannot stay,
G
like even this shall pass away ?"
Verse 4
G
C
The most beautiful woman ever seen was
G
the bride he chose his queen
Pillowed on their royal bed,
C
whispering to her soul he said:
"Though a bridegroom never pressed
G
dearer bosom to his chest
D
But mortal flesh must come to clay and even
these shall pass away"
G
Verse 5
G
Towering over the village square,
C
thirty meters in the air
G
Rose his statue, carved in stone,
Eb
C
as the king stood there alone
Gazing at his sculptured name,
G
said to himself, "So what is fame ?
D
Fame, it's but slow decay,
even this shall pass away"
G
Verse 6
C
Fighting furiously on a battlefield,
G
once a javelin pierced his shield
C
Soldiers with a loud lament bore
him bleeding to his tent
G
Groaning from his tortured side,
"Pain is hard to bear", he cried
D
"Oh, but with patience day by day,
G
even this shall pass away"
Verse 7
G
C
Sick and sore with cancer; weak and tired and old,
G
just minutes yet to go to pass the gates o' gold
C
Spake he with his dying breath,
G
"Life is done, so what is death ?"
Then in answer to the king fell
D
Dm
a sunbeam on his ring
D
G
Reflecting words he failed to say: "Even this
Outro 1

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

“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
