C
Standing alone
in the fairground at night

The world racing past on the streets
D
Only the stars and
the highlights of cars

C
Light the fantasy world while it sleeps
D
And I looked around but there
wasn't a sound
G
D
G
But the cinders under my feet
B
Candy- floss sticks spelt
A
words on the ground
B

I tried to read them in vain.
D
Before it was clear the wind blew my hair
G
D
G
And re- phrased the sentence again.
C
I stopped to light my last cigarette
C
The fair was lit up in its glow
D
I threw it away but the
light seemed to stay
G
C
Like 'twere moonlight shining on snow.
D
And I hardly dare breathe
I just couldn't believe

Then the music started to flow.

Round and around until

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
