    • Verse 1
    I 
    knew 
    a 
    painter 
    in 
    my 
    younger 
    days 

    A 
    man 
    who lived 
    with 
    brushes, 

    sticks, 
    and 
    stones 

    His 
    days 
    were filled 
    with 
    canvas 
    scenes 

    Of 
    browns 
    and blues 
    and 

    meadow 
    greens 

    And the 
    world 
    just 
    passed 
    on 
    by 
    his 
    door 

    He 
    lived 
    but lived 
    alone 

    And 
    he'd 
    come 
    to 
    town 
    with 
    his 

    old 
    wool 
    hat 
    pulled 
    down 

    Sur
    rounded 
    by 
    the 
    dogs 

    that 
    were his 
    friends 

    At 
    times 
    too 
    drunk 
    to 
    stand, 

    he'd 
    shake 
    familiar 

    hand
    s 

    He'd 
    sit around 
    the 

    SO 
    station 
    till his 
    loneliness 

    would 
    en
    d 

    And 
    I knew 
    a painter 
    in 
    my 
    reckless 
    days 

    Wristle 
    -bearded 
    and 
    humble 
    on 
    his 
    feet 

    A 
    sympathetic 
    sad 
    old 
    elf 

    He 
    knew me 
    better 
    than I 
    knew myself 

    In the 
    last 
    days 
    of my 
    boyhood 

    In 
    the time 
    upon 
    the 
    street 

    And 
    long 
    through 
    the 
    night 

    A 
    faded 
    yellow 
    light 

    Would 
    burn 
    inside 
    the 
    room 

    where 
    he would 
    stand 

    and 
    play 
    the old 

    Victrola 

    an
    d 
    drink 
    his rusty 
    wine 

    and 
    con
    duct 
    the 

    Mozart 
    mu
    sic 

    with 
    his hard 
    and 
    shaken 
    hand 

    But 
    he could paint 
    a 
    picture 

    an
    d 
    he could 
    capture 
    light 

    and 
    no one 
    ever felt 
    things 

    more 
    than 
    he 

    He 
    was 
    never much 
    for 
    roses, 

    he'd 
    sooner 
    paint 
    the 
    thorns 

    Cause 
    he 
    found 
    a 
    keener 
    beauty 

    there 
    that 
    no one 
    else 
    could see 

    Someone 
    bought 
    the house 
    he 
    lived 
    in 

    And 
    painted up 
    the 
    room he 
    died 
    in 

    And swept 
    away 
    the cobweb
    s 

    and 
    the 
    dust 
    from off 
    the 
    floor 

    The 
    chil
    dren 
    laugh, 
    the 
    seasons 
    run, 

    young 
    lovers 
    roll 
    in 
    midnight 
    fun 

    But 
    no one 
    loves 
    more 
    than 
    the 
    one 

    who 
    paints 
    the world 
    o 
    'er 

    And 
    long 
    through 
    the 
    night, 

    a 
    faded 
    yellow 
    light 

    Would 
    burn 
    in
    side 
    the 
    room 

    where 
    you would 
    stand 

    And 
    play 
    the 
    old 

    Victrola 

    An
    d 
    drink his 
    rusty 
    wine 

    And 
    con
    duct 
    the 

    Mozart 
    mu
    sic 

    With 
    his hard 
    and shaken 
    hand

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
