  • Verse 1
    In Scarlet 
    Town, 

    where 
    was 
    born 

    There's 
    ivy 
    leaf 
    and 
    silver 
    thorn 

    The streets 
    have 
    names 
    that you 

    can't 
    pronounce 

    Gold 
    is 
    down 
    to a 
    quarter 
    of 
    an ounce 

    Verse 2
    The 
    music 
    starts 
    and the 

    people 
    sway 

    Everybody 
    says, 

    "Are you 
    going 
    my 
    way?" 

    Uncle 
    Tom 
    still 
    workin' 
    for 
    Uncle 
    Bill 

    Scar
    let 
    Town 
    is 
    under 
    the 
    hill 

    Verse 3

    Scarlet 
    Town 
    in the 
    month 
    of 
    May 

    Sweet 
    William 
    Holme 
    on 

    his 
    deathbed 
    lay 

    Mistress 
    Mary 
    by 
    the side 
    of 
    the 
    bed 

    Kissin' 
    his face, 

    heapin' 
    pray
    ers 
    on 
    his 
    head 

    Verse 4
    So 
    brave 
    and 
    true, 
    so 
    gentle 
    is 
    he 

    I'll 
    weep 
    for 
    him 
    as he'd 
    weep 
    for 
    me 

    Little 
    Boy 
    Blue 
    come 
    blow 
    your 
    horn 

    In Scar
    let 
    Town, 

    where 
    was 
    born 

    Verse 5

    Scarlet 
    Town, 
    in the 
    hot 
    noon 
    hours 

    There's 
    palm-leaf 
    shadows 
    shadows 

    and scattered 
    flowers 

    Beggars 
    crouching 
    at the 
    gate 

    Help 
    comes, 
    but it 
    comes 
    too 
    late 

    Verse 6
    By 
    marble 
    slabs 
    and in 
    fields 
    of 
    stone 

    You 
    make 
    your 
    humble 

    wishes 
    known 

    I touched 
    the 
    garment, 

    but the 
    hem 
    was 
    torn 

    In Scarlet 
    Town, 

    where 
    was 
    born 

    Verse 7

    In Scarlet 
    Town, 
    the 
    end 
    is 
    near 

    The 
    Seven 
    Wonders 
    of the 
    World 
    are 
    here 

    The 
    evil 
    and the 
    good, 
    livin' 
    side 
    by 
    side 

    All 
    human 
    forms 
    seem 
    glorified 

    Verse 8
    Put your 
    heart 
    on a platter 

    and see 
    who'll 
    bite 

    See 
    who'll 
    hold 
    you 
    and 
    kiss 

    you good 
    night 

    There's 
    walnut 
    groves 

    and maplewood 

    In Scar
    let 
    Town 
    cryin', 

    won't 
    do 
    no 
    good 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 9
    In Scarlet 
    Town, 

    you fight 
    your father's 
    foes 

    Up on 
    the 
    hill, 
    chilly 
    wind 
    blows 

    You 
    fight 
    'em on 
    high 
    and you 

    fight 'em 
    down 
    in 

    You 
    fight 'em 
    with 
    whiskey, 

    morphine 
    and 
    gin 

    Verse 10
    You've 
    got 
    legs 
    that 
    can 

    drive 
    men 
    mad 

    A lot of 
    things 
    we didn't 

    do, that I 
    wish 
    we 
    had 

    In Scarlet 
    Town, 
    the sky 
    is 
    clear 

    You'll 
    wish 
    to 
    God 
    that 

    you stayed 
    right 
    here 

    Verse 11

    Set 
    'em 
    Joe, 
    play 
    "Walkin' 
    the Floor" 

    Play 
    it for 
    my 
    flat-chested 
    junkie 

    junkie 
    whore 

    I'm staying 
    up 
    late, 

    I'm 
    making 
    amends 

    While 
    we smile, 
    our 
    heaven 
    descends 

    Verse 12
    If 
    love 
    is 
    a sin, 
    then 
    beauty 
    is 
    a crime 

    All things 
    are 
    beautiful, 
    in 
    their 
    time 

    The 
    black 
    and 
    the white, 

    the 
    yellow 
    and 
    the brown 

    It's 
    all 
    right 
    there 
    in front 

    of you 
    in Scarlet 
    Town

    • 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.
