Verse 1
G
I caught the bus in Chinatown
Em
And slept the whole way up I-95
The driver, cut and weaved so crazy,
D
just his luck kept him alive
And I guess I believed his rhythm on that
G
D
morning after New Year's Eve
Verse 2
G
And I remember Shanghai
How I wasn't sure just what
Em
was safe to eat
The chickens pecked and wandered
at the barefoot ankles of
D
The children hawking figurines
of workers smiling
G
What's the Chinese word
D
for cheese?
Verse 3
G
Watched a sidewalk butcher
His instinctive understanding
Em
Made the carcass snap and clarify
Beneath his nimble hands that held
D
The knife so long, so many times,
the handles changed to
G
D
Shapes just like his fingers and his palms
Verse 4
G
And I, I am a broken glass
Shards upon the floor

Won't hold nothing anymore

Verse 6
G
It's 2AM in Tokyo
And still too soon to call back to
Em
The people who will soon begin
the day I polished off and I will
D
Walk a mile amidst the neon
lights that advertise but
G
D
I don't know just what they sell
Verse 7
G
I tell the taxi driver
To the park, a higher tone
Em
And his gloves are pristine white just like
the girls I used to know would wear
D
To dance their first cotillion
Every single one of them
G
D
named Jennifer
Verse 8
G
I clutched at the same Christopher
Em
I picked up at some country abbey
Long ago when I believed he'd keep
G
C
me safe and make me happy

But it seems the luck he brings
Is not the common currency
G
of penny in Japan

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
