Verse 1
G
A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
The odor of old prison food
C
takes a long time to pass you by
G
Day upon day of this wandering
gets you down
Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar
C
in this old town
Verse 2
G
Hovering silence from you is a giveaway
Squalor and smoke's not your style
"I don't like this place"
C
We better go
G
Then I compare notes with your older sister
I am a lazy get,
C
she is as pure as the cold driven snow

Verse 3
G
What did you learn from your time
in the solitary
Cell of your mind?
There was noises,
C
the distractions from anything good
And the old prison food
G
Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
'Cause anything's better than posh isolation
C
I missed the bus
You were laid on your back
D
With the boy with the Arab strap
G
With the boy from the Arab strap

Verse 4
G
It's something to speak
of the way you are feeling
To crowds there assembled
C
Do you ever feel you have gone too far?
G
Everyone suffers in silence a burden
The man who drives minicabs
down in old Compton
C
The Asian man
With his love hate affair
D
With his racist clientele
Verse 5
G
A central location for you is a must
As you stagger about
making free with your lewd
C
and lascivious boasts
G
We all know you are soft
'cause we've all seen you dancing
We all know you're hard
'cause we've all seen you drinking
C
from noon until noon again
D
You're the boy with the filthy laugh
G
You're the boy with the Arab strap

Strapped to the table
with suits from the shelter shop
Comic celebrity takes a back seat
C
as the cigarette catches
And sets off the smoke alarm
G
What do you make of the cool set in London?
You're constantly updating your hit parade
C
of your ten biggest wanks
D
She's a waitress and she's got style

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
