    Verse 1
    must 
    have 
    left 
    my 
    house 
    at 
    eight, 

    be
    cause 
    always 
    do 

    My 
    train, 
    I'm 
    certain, 
    left 
    the 
    station 

    just 
    when 
    it 
    was 
    due 

    must 
    have 
    read 
    the 
    morning 
    paper 

    going 
    into 
    town 

    And 
    having 
    gotten 
    through 
    the 
    editorial, 

    no 
    doubt 
    must 
    have 
    frowned 

    must 
    have 
    made 
    my 
    desk 

    around 
    quarter 
    after 
    nine 

    With 
    letters 
    to 
    be 
    read, 

    and 
    heaps 
    of 
    papers 
    waiting 
    to 
    be 
    signed 

    must 
    have 
    gone 
    to 
    lunch 

    at 
    half 
    past 
    twelve 
    or 
    so 

    The 
    usual 
    place, 
    the 
    usual 
    bunch 

    And 
    still 
    on 
    top 
    of 
    this 

    I'm 
    pretty 
    sure 
    it 
    must 
    have 
    rained 

    The 
    day 
    before 
    you 
    came 

    Verse 2
    must 
    have 
    lit 
    my 
    seventh 
    cigarette 

    at 
    half 
    past 
    two 

    And 
    at 
    the 
    time 
    never 
    even 
    noticed 

    was 
    blue 

    must 
    have 
    kept 
    on 
    dragging 

    through 
    the 
    business 
    of 
    the 
    day 

    Without 
    really 
    knowing 
    anything, 

    hid 
    part 
    of 
    me 
    a
    way 

    At 
    five 
    must 
    have 
    left, 

    there's 
    no 
    exception 
    to 
    the 
    rule 

    matter 
    of 
    routine, 

    I've 
    done 
    it 
    ever 
    since 
    finished 
    school 

    The 
    train 
    back 
    home 
    again 

    Un
    doubtedly 
    must 
    have 
    read 

    the 
    evening 
    paper 
    then 

    Oh 
    yes, 
    I'm 
    sure 
    my 
    life 
    was 
    well 

    with
    in 
    its 
    usual 
    frame 

    Interlude 1
    The 
    day 
    before 

    (you 
    came) 




    Verse 3
    must 
    have 
    opened 
    my 
    front 
    door 

    at 
    eight 
    o'clock 
    or 
    so 

    And 
    stopped 
    along 
    the 
    way 

    to 
    buy 
    some 
    Chinese 
    food 
    to 
    go 

    I'm 
    sure 
    had 
    my 
    dinner 

    watching 
    something 
    on 
    T

    There's 
    not, 
    think, 
    single 

    episode 
    of 
    Dallas 
    that 
    didn't 
    see 

    must 
    have 
    gone 
    to 
    bed 

    around 
    quarter 
    after 
    ten 

    need 
    lot 
    of 
    sleep, 

    and 
    so 
    like 
    to 
    be 
    in 
    bed 
    by 
    then 

    must 
    have 
    read 
    while 

    The 
    latest 
    one 
    by 
    Marilyn 
    French 

    or 
    something 
    in 
    that 
    style 

    It's 
    funny, 
    but 
    had 
    no 
    sense 
    of 

    living 
    without 
    aim 

    The 
    day 
    before 
    you 
    came 

    And 
    turning 
    out 
    the 
    light 

    must 
    have 
    yawned 
    and 
    cuddled 
    up 

    for 
    yet 
    another 
    night 

    And 
    rattling 
    on 
    the 
    roof 

    must 
    heard 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    rain 

    Outro 1
    The 
    day 
    before 
    you 

    (came)

    • 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.
