    Verse 1
    You 
    tell 
    me 
    this 
    town 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    heart 


    (well, 
    well, 
    well, 
    you 
    can 
    never 
    tell) 

    The 
    sunny 
    side 
    of 
    the 
    street 
    is 
    dark 


    (well, 
    well, 
    well, 

    you 
    can 
    never 
    tell) 

    Pre-chorus 1
    Maybe 
    that's 
    cause 
    it's 
    midnight, 

    in 
    the 
    dark 
    of 
    the 
    moon 
    besides 

    Maybe 
    the 
    dark 
    is 
    from 
    your 
    eyes 

    (maybe 
    the 
    dark 
    is 
    from 
    your 
    eyes) 

    Maybe 
    the 
    dark 
    is 
    from 
    your 
    eyes 

    (maybe 
    the 
    dark 
    is 
    from 
    your 
    eyes) 

    Maybe 
    the 
    dark 
    is 
    from 
    your 
    eyes 

    (maybe 
    the 
    dark 
    is 
    from 
    your 
    eyes) 

    You 
    know 
    you 
    got 
    such 
    dark 
    eyes! 

    Chorus 1
    Nothin' 
    shakin' 
    on 
    shakedown 
    street, 

    used 
    to 
    be 
    the 
    heart 
    of 
    town 

    Don't 
    tell 
    me 
    this 
    town 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    heart, 

    you 
    just 
    gotta 
    poke 
    around 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 2
    You 
    think 
    you've 
    seen 
    this 
    town 
    clear 
    through 


    (well, 
    well, 
    well, 
    you 
    can 
    never 
    tell) 

    Nothin' 
    here 
    that 
    could 
    int'rest 
    you 


    (well, 
    well, 
    well, 

    you 
    can 
    never 
    tell) 

    Pre-chorus 2
    It's 
    not 
    because 
    you 
    missed 
    out 

    on 
    the 
    thing 
    that 
    we 
    had 
    to 
    start 

    Maybe 
    you 
    had 
    too 
    much 
    too 
    fast 

    (maybe 
    you 
    had 
    too 
    much 
    too 
    fast) 

    Maybe 
    you 
    had 
    too 
    much 
    too 
    fast 

    (maybe 
    you 
    had 
    too 
    much 
    too 
    fast) 

    Maybe 
    you 
    had 
    too 
    much 
    too 
    fast 

    (maybe 
    you 
    had 
    too 
    much 
    too 
    fast) 

    Or 
    just 
    over 
    played 
    your 
    part 

    Chorus 2
    Nothin' 
    shakin' 
    on 
    shakedown 
    street, 

    used 
    to 
    be 
    the 
    heart 
    of 
    town 

    Don't 
    tell 
    me 
    this 
    town 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    heart, 

    you 
    just 
    gotta 
    poke 
    around

    Verse 3
    Since 
    I'm 
    passing 
    your 
    way 
    to
    day 


    (well, 
    well, 
    well, 
    you 
    can 
    never 
    tell) 

    just 
    stopped 
    in 
    'cause 
    want 
    to 
    say 


    (well, 
    well, 
    well, 

    you 
    can 
    never 
    tell) 

    Pre-chorus 3
    recall 
    your 
    darkness 

    when 
    it 
    crackled 
    like 
    thundercloud 

    Don't 
    tell 
    me 
    this 
    town 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    heart 

    (don't 
    tell 
    me 
    this 
    town 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    heart) 

    Don't 
    tell 
    me 
    this 
    town 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    heart

    me 
    this 
    town 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    heart) 

    When 
    can 
    hear 
    it 
    beat 
    out 
    loud! 

    Chorus 3
    Nothin' 
    shakin' 
    on 
    shakedown 
    street,

    • 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.
