    Verse 1
    Em

    I opened the paper,
    A

    there was your picture,
    B

    Gone, gone,
    Em

    gone by your own hand.

    I couldn't believe it,
    A

    the paper was shakin',
    B
    Em

    Gone, gone, gone by your own hand.
    Verse 2
    G

    I know I'm gonna spend the rest
    Em

    of my lifetime wondering why,
    G
    B

    You found yourself so badly hurt
    Em

    you had to die.
    Verse 3
    A

    I opened the paper,

    there was your picture,
    B

    Gone, gone,
    Em

    gone by your own hand.

    The phone started ringing,
    A

    had I heard about it?
    B
    Em

    I shook every time I heard it ring.
    A

    What was my reaction? I put

    the phone down.
    B

    That was the only news

    that was fit to sing.
    Em
    Verse 4
    G


    They ask about Dylan,
    Em

    about MacDougal Street and Third.
    G

    Question piled on question and
    B

    each question more absurd.

    Oh, I remember ""There But
    Em

    For Fortune"".
    G

    There but for fortune you
    Em

    and I would go.
    C

    Fortune turned its back on you,

    Or so it must have seemed to you,

    Christ alone knows
    B

    what was the final blow.
    Verse 7
    Em

    The last time I saw you,
    A

    the last time I saw you,
    B
    Em

    Bleeker Street outside the Other End.
    A

    I told you I'd see you. I got distracted.
    B

    I never saw your face again.
    Em
    Verse 8
    G


    I heard that you were feeling

    G

    stronger every day.

    I heard that you were well,

    with good things on their way.
    Verse 9
    Em

    Then I opened the paper,
    A

    there was your picture,
    B

    Gone, gone, gone by your

    own 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

      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.
