N/A
Verse 1
Am

I must have left my house at eight,
F
E

because I always do

My train, I'm certain,
Am

left the station just when it was due

I must have read the morning
G

paper going into town

And having gotten through the editorial,
C

no doubt I must have frowned
Verse 2
C

I must have made my desk
G

around a quarter after nine

With letters to be read,
C

and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
F
E

I must have gone to lunch at half
Am

past twelve or so
Dm

The usual place, the usual bunch

And still on top of this I'm pretty
Bdim
E

sure it must have rained
Am

The day before you came
Verse 3
Am


I must have lit my seventh
E

cigarette at half past two

And at the time I never
Am

even noticed I was blue

I must have kept on dragging through
G

the business of the day

Without really knowing anything,

I hid a part of me away
C
Verse 4


At five I must have left,
G

there's no exception to the rule

A matter of routine,
C

I've done it ever since I finished school
F

The train back home again
C
Am

Undoubtedly I must have read
Dm

the evening paper then

Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well
Bdim

within it's usual frame

The day before you came

some Chinese food to go

I'm sure I had my dinner watching

something on TV

There's not, I think,

a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see

And turning out the light

I must have yawned an d cuddled

  • 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.
