  • Verse 1
    There's 
    a dusty 
    old 
    gutter, 

    he's 
    lying 
    in now 

    Mmm 
    he's blind 
    and 
    he's old 

    And there's 
    bottle 

    that rolls 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    Me 
    I'm young 
    and 
    I'm so 
    wild 

    And I 
    still 
    feel 
    the need 

    Of your ap
    ron 
    strings 
    once 
    in 
    a while 

    For 
    there's 
    taxi 
    cabs 
    hooting 

    But 
    can't 
    be 
    foot-loose 
    forever 

    forever

    My suitcase 
    it's 
    a cheap 
    one 

    My 
    darling 
    she's 
    a dear 
    one 

    My 
    head's 
    feeling 
    light 
    as a feather 

    Verse 2
    Take 
    my 
    ears 
    and tell 
    me when 

    the 
    whistle 
    blows 

    Wake 
    me 
    up 
    and 
    tell 
    me when 

    the 
    whistle 
    blows 

    Long 
    lost 
    and lonely 
    boy 

    You're 
    just 
    a black 
    sheep 
    go
    ing 
    home 

    want 
    to feel 
    your wheels 
    of 
    steel 

    Underneath 
    my 
    itching 
    heels 

    Take 
    my money 

    Tell 
    me when 
    the 
    whistle 

    Interlude 1
    blows 



    Verse 3
    Part 
    of me 
    asked 
    the young 

    man 
    for 
    the time 

    With 
    a cool 
    vacant 
    stare, 

    of undue 
    con
    cern 

    He 
    said 
    nine 

    It's 
    not 
    so 
    bad 
    but 
    I really 

    do 
    love 
    the land 

    And 
    rather 
    all 
    this 
    than 

    those 
    diamante 
    lovers 

    In 
    Hyde 
    Park 
    holding 
    hand

    Blowing 
    heat 
    through 
    my 
    fingers 

    Trying 
    to kill 
    off 
    this 
    cold 

    Will 
    the 
    street 
    kids 
    remember 

    Can 
    still 
    shoot 
    a fast 
    cue 

    Has 
    this 
    country 
    kid 
    still 
    got 
    his soul 

    Verse 4
    Take 
    my 
    ears 
    and tell 
    me when 

    the 
    whistle 
    blows 

    Wake 
    me 
    up 
    and 
    tell 
    me when 

    the 
    whistle 
    blows 

    Long 
    lost 
    and lonely 
    boy 

    You're 
    just 
    a black 
    sheep 
    go
    ing 
    home 

    want 
    to feel 
    your wheels 
    of 
    steel 

    Underneath 
    my 
    itching 
    heels 

    Take 
    my 
    money 

    Tell 
    me when 
    the whistle 
    blows 

    Verse 5

    Take 
    my money 

    Tell 
    me when 
    the 
    whistle 

    blows

    • 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.
