was raining hard in Frisco,

I needed one more fair to make my night.
Em

A lady up ahead waved a flag me down,
B

she got in at the light.
Em
A

Oh, where are you going to,

my lady blue

It's a shame you ruined

your gown in the rain

She just looked out the window,
G
F

she said, Sixteen Parkside
A
G
B
A
B

Lane

Something about her was familiar

I could swear I'd seen her face before

But she said, I'm sure you're mistaken
A
G
B

And she didn't say anything more

It took a while,

but she looked in the mirror

Then she glanced at the license for my name

A smile seemed to come to her slowly
A
G
B

It was a sad smile, just the same
E
B

And she said, how are you Harry?
A
E
B

I said, how are you Sue?
E

Through the too many miles
C#m
B

and the two little smiles
G#m
C#m
F#
B
A
G
B

I still remember you

It was somewhere in a fairytale

I used to take her home in my car

We learned about love

in the back of a Dodge
A
G
B

The lesson hadn't come too far
E
C#m

You see, she was gonna be an actress
B
G#m

And I was gonna learn to fly
E
B

She took off to find the footlights
A
G
B
A

I took off to find the sky

Oh, I've got something inside me
G#m
C#

To drive the princess blind
F#m

There's a wild man wizard,

he's hidin' in me
B
C#m

Illuminatin' my mind
A

Oh, I've got something inside me,
G#m
C#

not what my life's about
F#m

Cause I've been letting my outside drive
G
C
G
D

me over till my time runs out
A

It is so wild and mysterious

Yes, it's wild and beautiful
A

C#m

I'll tell you why it is wild

There was not much more for

us to talk about

Whatever we had once was gone

So I turned my cab into the driveway,
A
G
B

past the gate and the fine -trim logs

And she said, we must get together,

but I knew it'd never be arranged

Then she handed me twenty dollars

for a two -fifty fare,
A
G
B

she said, Harry, keep the change

Well, another man might have been angry

And another man might have been hurt

But another man never would have let her go
A
G
B

I stashed the bill in my shirt
E
B

And she walked away in silence
A
E
B

It's strange how you never know
E
C#m

But we'd both gotten
F#

what we'd asked for
G#m
C#m
F#
B

Such a long, long time ago

You see, she was gonna be an actress

And I was gonna learn to fly

She took off to find the footlights
A
G
B

I took off for the sky
E
C#m

And here she's actin' happy
B
G#m

inside her handsome home
E
B

And me, I'm flyin' in my taxi
G
B

takin' tips and gettin' stoned
C#m
F#
B
F#

I go flyin' so high when I'm stoned

  • 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.
