    Verse 1
    The disc 
    brakes 
    drag, 

    The 
    chequered 
    flag 
    sweeps 
    across 

    the 
    oil-slick track. 

    track. 

    The 
    young 
    man's 

    home; dry 
    as 
    a bone. 

    His 
    helmet 
    off, 

    he 
    waves: the crowd 
    waves 
    back. 

    One 
    lap 
    victory 
    roll. 

    Gladiat
    or 
    soul. 

    The 
    taker 
    of 
    the day 
    in winning 
    has 
    to say, 


    Isn't 
    it grand 
    to be 
    play
    ing 

    to 
    the 
    stand, 

    Dead 
    or 
    alive. 

    Verse 2

    The 
    sunlight 
    streaks 

    through the 
    curtain 
    crack
    s, 

    Touches 
    the 
    old 
    man 

    where 
    he sleeps. 

    The 
    nurse 
    brings 
    up 
    a cup 
    of tea 

    Two 
    biscuits 
    and 
    the morn
    ing 

    paper 
    mys
    tery. 

    The hard 
    road's 
    en
    d, 

    the white 
    god's-send 

    Is 
    Is 
    nearer 
    every
    day, 

    in dying 
    the 
    old 
    man says, 

    Isn't 
    it grand 
    to be 
    playing 
    to 
    the 
    stand, 

    Dead 
    or alive. 

    Verse 3

    The 
    still-born 







    child 
    child 
    can't 
    feel 
    the 
    rain 

    As 
    the chequered 
    flag 
    fall

    s once 
    again. 

    The 
    deaf 
    composer 
    completes 

    his 
    final 
    score. 

    He'll 
    nev
    er 
    hear 
    the sweet 

    encore. 

    The chequered 
    flag, 

    the 
    bull's 
    red 
    rag, 

    The 
    lemming-hearted 
    hordes 

    hordes 

    Running 
    ever 
    faster 
    to 
    the 
    shore 
    singing, 



    Isn't 
    it 
    grand 
    to 
    be 

    playing 
    to 
    the 
    stand, 

    Dead 
    or 
    alive.

      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 🙂

      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.
