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.”

Intro 1

G
C
G
In
Verse 1
Montreal,
C
where Europe meets America,
G
C
I saw Leonard Cohen's house,
and that was good.
G
And since it was the festival,
C
there were jazz bands playing
G
on the street corners,
C
like I knew they always would.
D
And the surrogate sister,
C
she took me in her arms
Em
and said, Hey Andy,
D
welcome to the new world
G
C
G
I was speechless
C
Speechless
G
In Toronto there's the
C
longest street in the world
G
And I had to find a place
C
called The Beat Bookshop
G
C
I went in to buy a 25 cents trash novel
G
C
It was called Stranger In Our Midst
D
C
And round the corner in an electrical store
Em
D
An old man looked me in the eye
C
D
G
C
G
Said, son, you look speechless
C
G
In Boston,
C
where everybody wears red socks,
G
I met some lost and
C
lonesome Irish boys.
G
They thought if they left
C
home fast enough,
G
C
they could find their own voice.
D
But as the ship sailed out into the harbour,
C
the flower music playing,
Em
D
I saw their homeland in their eyes,
C
D
G
and I was speechless,
C
G
C
speechless.
G
C
In Philadelphia and Washington D .C.,
G
C
the driving seat of this whole big country,
G
I saw the Endless Horizons
C
parceled uprail me,
G
and delivered as the
C
skyscraper in a street,
D
and the homeless queuing outside
C
the White House for food,
Em
and the black guy selling matchsticks
D
in the hotel lobby
C
G
C
G
left me speechless, speechless,
C
G
C
New York, he had hit me late one night,
going
G
Down to the convenience store
C
with Big Stevie for a beer
G
C
Summin' about the subway steam
G
and the way cigarettes never taste
C
the way they do round here
D
And the guy playin' a drunk
C
in the back of a hip -hop bus
Em
And the rapper's son
of 6th Avenue
D
and 13th Street
C
G
C
left me speechless
G
C
I said speechless
G
Rain swept the orange boxes
C
on the Chicago street
G
C
A bright shiny city all covered in lights
G
C
And a clean girl from the Midwest
G
told me it's so good
they don't need to name it twice
C
D
And a second city wind blew
C
from across the lake
Em
I had a bottle of wine outside
D
for Bobby's sake
G
C
G
And I was speechless
C
Speechless
G
C
San Francisco stretches itself
G
out on the side of a hill
With white walled house
C
s and open top mines
G
C
That night we played a gig of Slims
G
There were crazy hitchhikers,
C
a ballerina, and wheelchair Janet
D
Me and a bunch of flowers,
C
staying up late
Em
D
Not a mile from the Golden Gate,
C
G
C
by the morning we were speechless
G
C
We were all speechless
G
An old railroad diner,
C
an Italian restaurant out
G
in Santa Monica
C
Driving upon the Act
Firebird, right -hand side
G
The gunshots,
C
the glitter and the grease paint
G
Cruising Beverly Hills,
C
the North Maybelline Drive
D
Suddenly she showed
up on her shoulders
C
That Elizabeth Taylor look
Em
I thought I'd read the answers now
D
C
I'd thrown away the book I was
G
C
G
speechless
C
Speechless
G
C
The time we hit Texas
G
C
Our Irish skin was nearly fried
G
And we saw the faceless
C
place where in 1963
G
C
They said America died
D
C
Me and Liam in a diner
Em
They thought our accents
D
Where I'd rage asleep
G
and know we were
C
G
speechless
C
Speechless
G
Last stop was Atlanta
C
G
C
So, so deep in the South
G
C
The sky was gliding over
G
C
And the music came tumbling up
D
The phone rang like something
C
from a cable movie scene
Em
Calling me home from that
C
G
American dream
C
Speechless
G
C
Speechless, Speechless
G
C
Speechless, in the airport lobby
G
C
Speechless, my life full of joy
G
C
Speechless, a laugh in my throat
G
Speechless,
C
like the letters I never wrote
G
The night came dark,
C
the moon turned black
Em
D
The rain fell up and the wind blew back
C
G
C
I was Speechless,
G
C
Speechless
D
The night came dark,
C
the moon turned black,
Em
D
C
the rain fell up and the wind blew back
G
C
G
I was speechless, speech less,
C
G
C
speechless,
G
C
speechless, yeah, speechless
G
Just now I saw the bloated belly
of a starving child
Matchstick arms and an old
C
G
man's eyes
He'd watched his family slowly die
C
Sitting on a skull too weak to cry
G
C
In some forgotten corner of Africa
G
They said foreign aid was dropping
C
D
G
because of the war
C
I was speechless
G
C
Watching TV till late tonight
G
Since the bulbs were gone,
C
it was by candlelight
G
C
The room was dark, the moon turned black
G
C
The rain fell up and the wind blew back
G
Every ten minutes,
C
flashing on the screen
G
Were the bloody banners
of the American war machine
I'm speechless
And the president pleading
C
support the war
Em
G
Won't somebody tell me
D
G
what we were fighting it for?
I'm speechless
C
G
C
G
The horror still hasn't gone through
to command posts
where generals suck pencils
and order steak
C
G
C
and where tv crews on leave play cards
G
the ship of hope is still
C
moored in its harbour
G
C
G
while we set sail as Willard's crew into darkness headed
C
G
for its terrible heart and a horror now so easily attainable
C
G
did no one die in Flanders field
C
G
C
or not enough at Agincourt
G
Were there too many people
left alive in Dresden
C
G
C
G
for blessed memory to forget?
Take us now and take our young
C
G
men down into the deep
Where young men before them
have suffered and died
Dreaming of their mothers
C
and a better life back home
G
Take us now for another late 20th
C
G
century sacrifice we've seen before
C
G
C
G
Those horrified faces still stare out
C
at backwoods forests in the U .S .A.
G
C
G
Lost forever in their horror.
Maybe in years to come,
C
G
Gulf survivors will stalk the deserts
C
G
Seeing dead comrades' ghosts
C
amidst the burning sands.
G
So it's all aboard Willard's ship,
C
G
all aboard
And no one screams stop,
C
G
and no one chooses to remember the horror
C
G
For we are the hollow men,
C
G
C
our heads stuffed with straw
G
The light fades,
C
till we're deep in the darkness
G
C
and we drop
G
The light fades,
C
till we're deep in the dark
G
C
ness and we drop
G
C
G
Speechless. Speechless.

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.”
