    Verse 1
    knew 

    this 
    colorful 
    woman 
    once 

    She drank 
    and 
    had a 

    roving 
    eye 

    In the morning 
    she 
    was 
    always 
    mournful 

    She'd cry 
    and 
    apolo
    gize 

    But 
    she'd always 
    repeat 
    her
    self 

    Find 
    com
    fort 
    with 
    a stranger 
    and sing 

    She 
    nev
    er 
    took 
    much 
    no
    tice 

    In 
    the 
    courtesy 
    of 
    king

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    She 
    had 
    pictures 
    of 
    Cuban 
    artist

    And 
    paintings 
    from 
    Rotterdam 

    Promises 
    that she 
    made 

    She 
    never 
    could 
    stay 
    true 
    to them 

    She said 
    she 
    loved 
    me so 
    deeply 

    Then 
    she'd spit 
    in my 
    face 

    and scream 

    And she 
    never 
    took 
    much 
    no
    tice 

    In the 
    courtesy 
    of 
    kings 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 3
    She 
    had 
    the face 
    of 
    an an
    gel 

    And a smile 
    no 
    one 
    could 
    deny 

    But the 
    heart 
    of 
    a dev
    il 

    Beat 
    deep 
    down 
    in 
    her 
    in
    side 

    She spoke 
    of 
    judgment 
    and 
    for
    giveness 

    Her 
    other 
    lovers 
    didn't 

    mean 
    a thing 

    She 
    nev
    er 
    took 
    much 
    no
    tice 

    In the 
    cour
    tesy 
    of 
    kings 

    We 
    Verse 4


    parted 
    in 
    the middle 
    of nowhere 

    haven't 
    seen 
    her 
    since 
    then 

    She always 
    kept 
    my 
    mind 
    busy 

    She made 
    her lies 
    seem 
    like 
    hymn 

    Sometimes 
    I wonder 
    if I'd 
    see 
    her 

    If I 
    would still 
    recog
    nize 

    Or just 
    re
    member 
    her 

    as 
    a dream 

    And respect 
    her 
    for 
    the love 

    she 
    used 
    to bring 

    If 
    could 
    show 
    her 

    The courtesy 
    of 
    kings

    • 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.
