She was workin' in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer
G

I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
C

In the spotlight so clear

And later on as the crowd thinned out
G

I´m just about to do the same
G

She was standing there in back of my chair
C

Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"

She lit a burner on the stove
G

And offered me a pipe
G

I thought you'd never say hello, she said

Then she opened up a book of poems
G

And handed it to me
G

Written by an Italian poet
C

From the thirteenth century

And everyone of them words rang true

I lived with them on Montague Street
G

In a basement down the stairs

She had to sell everything she owned

And froze up inside

All the people we used to know

Don't know how it all got started

I don't know what they're doin' with their lives

  • 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.
