  • Verse 1

    Now 
    in 
    Vi
    enna 

    there's 
    ten 
    pretty 
    women 

    There's 
    shoulder 

    where 
    Death 
    comes 
    to 
    cry 

    There's 
    lobby 
    with 
    nine 
    hundred 
    windows 

    There's 
    tree 

    where 
    the 
    doves 
    go 
    to 
    die 

    There's 
    piece 

    that 
    was 
    torn 
    from 
    the 
    morning 

    And 
    it 
    hangs 
    in 
    the 
    Gallery 
    of 
    Frost 

    Chorus 1
    Aey, 
    aey, 
    aey, 
    aey 

    Take 
    this 
    waltz, 
    take 
    this 
    waltz 

    Take 
    this 
    waltz 
    with 
    the 
    clamp 
    on 
    its 
    jaws 


    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    want 
    you, 
    want 
    you, 

    want 
    you 

    On 
    chair 
    with 
    dead 
    ma
    ga
    zine 

    In 
    the 
    cave 
    at 
    the 
    tip 
    of 
    the 
    lily 

    In 
    some 
    hallway 

    where 
    love's 
    nev
    er 
    been 

    On 
    bed 

    where 
    the 
    moon 
    has 
    been 
    sweating 

    In 
    cry 

    filled 
    with 
    footsteps 
    and 
    sand 

    Chorus 2
    Aey, 
    aey, 
    aey, 
    aey 

    Take 
    this 
    waltz, 
    take 
    this 
    waltz 

    Take 
    its 
    broken 
    waist 
    in 
    your 
    hand 


    Bridge 1
    This 
    waltz, 
    this 
    waltz, 
    this 
    waltz, 
    this 
    waltz 

    With 
    its 
    very 
    own 
    breath 
    of 
    brandy 
    and 
    death 

    Dragging 
    its 
    tail 
    in 
    the 
    sea 

    Verse 3
    There's 
    concert 
    hall 
    in 
    Vi
    enna 

    Where 
    your 
    mouth 
    had 
    thousand 
    re
    views 

    There's 
    bar 

    where 
    the 
    boys 
    have 
    stopped 
    talking 

    They've 
    been 
    sentenced 
    to 
    death 

    by 
    the 
    blues 

    Ah, 
    but 
    who 
    is 
    it 

    climbs 
    to 
    your 
    picture 

    With 
    garland 
    of 
    freshly 
    cut 
    tears? 

    Chorus 3
    Aey, 
    aey, 
    aey, 
    aey 

    Take 
    this 
    waltz, 
    take 
    this 
    waltz 

    Take 
    this 
    waltz, 
    it's 
    been 
    dying 
    for 
    years 


    Verse 4
    There's 
    an 
    attic 
    where 
    children 
    are 
    playing 

    Where 
    I've 
    got 
    to 
    lie 
    down 
    with 
    you 
    soon 

    In 
    dream 
    of 
    Hungarian 
    lanterns 

    In 
    the 
    mist 

    of 
    some 
    sweet 
    af
    ter
    noon 

    And 
    I'll 
    see 
    what 

    you've 
    chained 
    to 
    your 
    sorrow 

    All 
    your 
    sheep 
    and 
    your 
    lilies 
    of 
    snow 

    Chorus 4
    Aey, 
    aey, 
    aey, 
    aey 

    Take 
    this 
    waltz, 
    take 
    this 
    waltz 

    With 
    its 
    "I'll 
    never 
    forget 
    you, 
    you 
    know" 


    Bridge 2
    This 
    waltz, 
    this 
    waltz, 
    this 
    waltz, 
    this 
    waltz 

    With 
    its 
    very 
    own 
    breath 
    of 
    brandy 
    and 
    death 

    Dragging 
    its 
    tail 
    in 
    the 
    sea 

    Verse 5
    And 
    I'll 
    dance 
    with 
    you 
    in 
    Vi
    enna 

    I'll 
    be 
    wearing 
    river's 
    dis
    guise 

    The 
    hyacinth 
    wild 
    on 
    my 
    shoulder 

    My 
    mouth 
    on 
    the 
    dew 
    of 
    your 
    thighs 

    And 
    I'll 
    bury 
    my 
    soul 

    in 
    scrap
    book 

    With 
    the 
    pho
    tographs 
    there, 

    and 
    the 
    moss 

    And 
    I'll 
    yield 
    to 
    the 
    flood 
    of 
    your 
    beauty 

    My 
    cheap 
    violin 
    and 
    my 
    cross 

    And 
    you'll 
    carry 
    me 
    down 

    on 
    your 
    dancing 

    To 
    the 
    pools 
    that 
    you 
    lift 
    on 
    your 
    wrist 

    Chorus 5
    Oh 
    my 
    love, 
    oh 
    my 
    love 

    Take 
    this 
    waltz, 
    take 
    this 
    waltz 

    It's 
    yours 
    now, 
    it's 
    all 
    that 
    there 
    is

    • 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.
