    In 
    Verse 1
    Montreal, 

    where 
    Europe 
    meets 
    America, 

    saw 
    Leonard 
    Cohen's 
    house

    and that 
    was 
    good. 

    And 
    since 
    it was 
    the 
    festival, 

    there 
    were 
    jazz 
    bands 
    playing 

    on 
    the street 
    corners, 

    like 
    knew 
    they 
    always 
    would. 

    And 
    the 
    surrogate 
    sister, 

    she 
    took 
    me in 
    her arms 

    and 
    said, 
    Hey 
    Andy, 

    welcome 
    to 
    the 
    new 
    world 

    was 
    speechless 

    Speechless 

    In 
    Toronto 
    there's 
    the 

    longest 
    street 
    in the 
    world 

    And 
    I had 
    to 
    find a 
    place 

    called 
    The 
    Beat 
    Bookshop 

    went 
    in to 
    buy 
    a 25 
    cent
    trash 
    novel 

    It 
    was called 
    Stranger 
    In 
    Our 
    Mid
    st 

    And 
    round 
    the 
    corner 
    in 
    an 
    elec
    trical 
    store 

    An 
    old 
    man 
    looked 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    eye 

    Said, 
    son, 
    you look 
    speechless 


    In 
    Boston, 

    where 
    everybody 
    wears 
    red 
    socks, 

    met 
    some 
    lost 
    and 

    lonesome 
    Irish 
    boys. 

    They 
    thought 
    if 
    they left 

    home 
    fast 
    enough, 

    they 
    could find 
    their 
    own 
    voice. 

    But 
    as 
    the 
    ship 
    sailed 
    out 
    into 
    the 
    harbour, 

    the 
    flower 
    music 
    playing, 

    saw 
    their 
    homeland 
    in 
    their 
    eyes, 

    and 
    was 
    speechless, 

    speech
    less. 

    In 
    Philadelphia 
    and 
    Washington 
    .C., 

    the 
    driving 
    seat 
    of 
    this 
    whole 
    big 
    coun
    try, 

    saw 
    the Endless 
    Horizons 

    parceled 
    uprail 
    me, 

    and 
    de
    livered 
    as 
    the 

    skyscraper 
    in 
    street, 

    and 
    the 
    homeless 
    queuing 
    outside 

    the 
    White 
    House 
    for 
    food, 

    and 
    the 
    black 
    guy 
    selling 
    matchsticks 

    in 
    the hotel 
    lobby 

    left 
    me 
    speechless, 
    speech
    less, 

    New 
    York, 
    he 
    had 
    hit 
    me 
    late 
    one 
    night, 

    going 

    Down 
    to 
    the convenience 
    store 

    with 
    Big 
    Stevie 
    for 
    beer 

    Summin' 
    about 
    the 
    subway 
    steam 

    and the 
    way 
    ci
    garettes 
    never 
    taste 

    the 
    way 
    they do 
    round 
    here 

    And 
    the 
    guy 
    playin' 
    a drunk 

    in 
    the 
    back 
    of 
    hip 
    -hop bus 

    And 
    the 
    rapper's 
    son 

    of 
    6th 
    Avenue 

    and 
    13th 
    Street 

    left 
    me 
    speechless 

    said 
    speechless 

    Rain 
    swept 
    the 
    orange 
    boxes 

    on 
    the 
    Chicago 
    street 

    bright 
    shiny 
    city 
    all 
    covered 
    in 
    lights 

    And 
    clean 
    girl 
    from 
    the 
    Midwest 

    told 
    me 
    it's 
    so 
    good 

    they 
    don't 
    need 
    to name 
    it 
    twice 

    And 
    second 
    city 
    wind 
    blew 

    from 
    across 
    the 
    lake 

    had 
    bottle 
    of 
    wine 
    outside 

    for 
    Bobby's 
    sake 

    And 
    was 
    speechless 

    Speechless 

    San 
    Francisco 
    stretches 
    itself 

    out 
    on 
    the side 
    of 
    hill 

    With 
    white 
    walled 
    house

    s and 
    open 
    top 
    mines 

    That 
    night 
    we 
    played 
    gig 
    of 
    Slims 

    There 
    were 
    crazy 
    hitchhikers, 

    a ballerina, 
    and 
    wheelchair 
    Janet 

    Me 
    and a 
    bunch 
    of 
    flowers, 

    staying 
    up 
    late 

    Not 
    mile 
    from 
    the 
    Golden 
    Gate, 

    by 
    the 
    morn
    ing we 
    were speechless 

    We 
    were 
    all 
    speechless 

    An 
    old 
    railroad 
    diner, 

    an 
    Itali
    an 
    restaurant 
    out 

    in 
    Santa 
    Monica 

    Driving 
    upon 
    the 
    Act 

    Firebird, 
    right 
    -hand 
    side 

    The 
    gunshots, 

    the 
    glitter 
    and 
    the 
    grease 
    paint 

    Cruising 
    Beverly 
    Hills, 

    the 
    North 
    Maybelline 
    Drive 

    Suddenly 
    she 
    showed 

    up 
    on her 
    shoulders 

    That 
    Elizabeth 
    Taylor 
    look 

    thought 
    I'd 
    read 
    the 
    answers 
    now 

    I'd 
    thrown 
    away 
    the 
    book 
    was 

    speechless 

    Speechless 

    The 
    time 
    we 
    hit 
    Texas 

    Our 
    Irish 
    skin 
    was 
    nearly 
    fried 

    An
    we 
    saw 
    the faceless 

    place 
    where 
    in 1963 

    They 
    said 
    America 
    died 

    Me 
    and 
    Liam 
    in 
    diner

    They 
    thought 
    our 
    accents 

    Where 
    I'd 
    rage 
    asleep 

    an
    d know 
    we 
    were 

    speechless 

    Speechless 

    Last 
    stop 
    was 
    Atlanta 

    So, 
    so 
    deep 
    in 
    the 
    South 

    The 
    sky 
    was 
    gliding 
    over 

    And 
    the 
    music 
    came 
    tumbling 
    up

    The 
    phone 
    rang 
    like 
    something 

    from 
    a cable 
    movie 
    scene 

    Calling 
    me 
    home 
    from 
    that 

    American 
    dream 

    Speechless 

    Speechless, 
    Speech
    less 

    Speechless, 
    in 
    the 
    airport 
    lobby 

    Speechless, 
    my 
    life 
    full 
    of 
    joy 

    Speech
    less, 
    laugh 
    in 
    my 
    throat 

    Speech
    less, 

    like 
    the 
    letter
    s I 
    never 
    wrote 

    The 
    night 
    came 
    dark, 

    the 
    moon 
    turned 
    black 

    The 
    rain 
    fell 
    up 
    and 
    the 
    wind 
    blew 
    back 

    was 
    Speechless, 

    Speech
    less 

    The 
    night 
    came 
    dark, 

    the 
    moon 
    turned 
    black, 

    the 
    rain 
    fell 
    up 
    and 
    the 
    wind 
    blew 
    back

    was 
    speechless, 
    speech
    less, 

    speech
    less, 

    speech
    less, 
    yeah, 
    speechless 

    Just 
    now 
    saw 
    the 
    bloated 
    belly 

    of 
    starving 
    child 

    Matchstick 
    arms 
    and 
    an old 

    man's 
    eye

    He'd 
    watched 
    his 
    family 
    slowly 
    die 

    Sitting 
    on 
    a skull 
    too 
    weak 
    to 
    cry 

    In 
    some 
    forgotten 
    corner 
    of 
    Africa 

    They 
    said 
    for
    eign 
    aid 
    was 
    dropping 

    because 
    of 
    the 
    war 

    was 
    speechless 

    Watching 
    TV 
    till 
    late 
    to
    night 

    Since 
    the 
    bulbs 
    were 
    gone, 

    it was 
    by 
    candle
    light 

    The 
    room 
    was 
    dark, 
    the 
    moon 
    turned 
    black 

    The 
    rain 
    fell 
    up 
    and 
    the 
    wind 
    blew 
    back 

    Every 
    ten 
    minutes, 

    flash
    ing 
    on 
    the 
    screen 

    Were 
    the 
    bloody 
    banners 

    of 
    the 
    American 
    war 
    machine 

    I'm 
    speechless 

    And 
    the 
    president 
    pleading 

    support 
    the 
    war 

    Won't 
    somebody 
    tell 
    me 

    what 
    we 
    were 
    fighting 
    it 
    for? 

    I'm 
    speechless 

    The 
    horror 
    still 
    hasn't 
    gone 
    through 

    to 
    command 
    posts 

    where 
    generals 
    suck 
    pencils 

    and 
    order 
    steak 

    an
    where 
    tv 
    crews 
    on 
    leave 
    play 
    cards 

    the 
    ship 
    of 
    hope 
    is 
    still 

    moored 
    in 
    its 
    harbour 

    while 
    we 
    set 
    sail 
    as 
    Willard's 
    crew 
    into 
    darkness 
    headed 

    for 
    its 
    terrible 
    heart 
    and 
    horror 
    now 
    so 
    easily 
    attainable 

    did 
    no 
    one 
    die 
    in 
    Flanders 
    field 

    or 
    not 
    enough 
    at 
    Agincourt 

    Were 
    there 
    too 
    many 
    people 

    left 
    alive 
    in 
    Dresden 

    for 
    blessed 
    memory 
    to 
    forget? 

    Take 
    us 
    now 
    and take 
    our young 

    men 
    down 
    in
    to the 
    deep 

    Where 
    young 
    men 
    before 
    them 

    have 
    suffered 
    and 
    died 

    Dreaming 
    of their 
    mothers 

    and 
    better 
    life 
    back 
    home 

    Take 
    us 
    now 
    for 
    another 
    late 
    20th 

    century 
    sac
    rifice 
    we've 
    seen 
    before 

    Those 
    horrified 
    faces 
    still 
    stare 
    out 

    at 
    backwoods 
    forests 
    in 
    the 
    U .S 
    .A. 

    Lost 
    forever 
    in 
    their horror. 

    Maybe 
    in 
    years 
    to 
    come, 

    Gulf 
    sur
    vivors 
    will 
    stalk 
    the 
    deserts 

    Seeing 
    dead 
    comrades' 
    ghost

    amidst 
    the burning 
    sands. 

    So 
    it's 
    all aboard 
    Willard's 
    ship, 

    all 
    aboard 

    And 
    no 
    one 
    screams 
    stop, 

    and 
    no 
    one 
    chooses 
    to 
    remember 
    the 
    horror 

    For 
    we 
    are the 
    hollow 
    men, 

    our 
    heads 
    stuffed 
    with 
    straw 

    The 
    light 
    fades, 

    till 
    we're 
    deep 
    in the 
    darkness 

    and 
    we 
    drop 

    The 
    light 
    fades, 

    till 
    we're 
    deep 
    in the 
    dark

    ness and 
    we 
    drop 

    Speechless. 
    Speechless.

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      "

      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.
