    Oh the tan
    go is 
    done with 
    a thin black 
    moustache, 
    a wide 
    Verse 1

    scarlet 
    sash, 

    black 
    boots and 
    a 
    whip 

    Or the 
    tango 
    is 
    done 
    with seafaring 
    trash, 


    callous and 
    brash, 
    fresh 
    off the ship 

    Or 
    the 
    tango 
    is done 
    as a 
    dangerous 
    dance, 

    a 
    treacherous 
    step 
    and if 
    one 
    should 
    trip 

    The frail 
    body breaks 
    with 

    a snap 
    and a twist, 

    And 
    a gold 
    watch slips 
    onto 

    a thick 
    tattooed 
    wrist 

    An
    d a gray 
    merchant 
    ship 

    turns 
    black 
    in the sun, 

    as it 
    heaves 
    to 
    the East 
    when 

    the tango 
    is 
    done. 

    Verse 2
    Butterflies 
    mounted 
    on 
    fields 
    of 
    black 
    velvet 

    Neatly 
    arranged 
    in 
    gleaming 
    glass 
    trays 

    One- 
    eyed 
    Etruscans 
    play 

    follow- 
    the- leader 

    Forever 
    around 
    the 
    edge 
    of 
    the vase 

    Verse 3
    The 
    phonograph's playing 

    an old 
    broken 
    record 

    A 
    tango 
    and over 
    and over 
    it plays 

    Over 
    it 
    plays 

    Over 
    it 
    plays 


    Verse 4
    A medieval 
    tapestry 
    hangs 
    like 
    a warning, 

    A needlepoint 
    forest 
    of 
    dark 

    green 
    and brown. 

    The scene 
    is 
    the hunt, 

    you 
    will notice 
    the 
    hunter. 

    He takes 
    careful 
    aim 
    as 

    your eye 
    travels 
    down, 

    Verse 5
    And 
    finally 
    rests 
    upon 
    the 
    real 
    victim, 

    Lying 
    quite 
    still 
    in a silk 

    dressing 
    gown. 

    Lying 
    quite 
    still 
    at 
    the 

    edge of 
    the 
    carpet. 

    One 
    arm 
    flung 
    out 
    for 
    the 
    peacock

    s to 
    peck
    . 

    Blending 
    in 
    well 
    with 
    the blue 

    and 
    green 
    background 

    Except 
    for 
    the 
    bright 
    scarlet 

    sash 
    round 
    the 
    neck

    Verse 6
    He 
    was 
    a 
    collector 
    of 

    beautiful 
    strangers 

    And life 
    was 
    a party 
    right 

    up 
    to 
    the 
    end 

    The 
    door 
    always 
    opened 

    to love 
    and 
    loves 
    dangers 

    Though 
    dead, 
    a 
    lover, 
    a stranger, 

    a 
    friend 

    Verse 7

    Butterflies 
    mounted 
    on 
    fields 

    of black 
    velvet 

    Neatly 
    arranged 
    in 
    gleaming 

    glass 
    trays 

    One- 
    eyed 
    Etruscans 
    play 

    follow- 
    the- leader 

    Forever 
    around 
    the 

    edge 
    of 
    the vase 

    The 
    phonograph's playing 

    an old 
    broken 
    record 

    A 
    tango 
    and 
    over and 
    over 
    it 
    plays 

    Over 
    it plays

      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

      "

      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 the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
