    Verse 1
    Rousseau 
    walks 
    on 

    trumpet 
    paths 

    Safaris 
    to 
    the 
    heart 
    of 
    all 

    that 
    jazz 

    Through 
    bars 
    and 
    girders, 

    through 
    wires 
    and 
    pipes 

    The 
    mathematic 
    circuits 
    of 

    the modern 
    nights 

    Through 
    huts, 
    through 
    Harlem, 

    through 
    jails 
    and 
    gospel 
    pews 

    Through 
    the class 
    on 
    Park 

    and 
    the trash 
    on 
    Vine 

    Through 
    Europe 
    and 
    the 
    deep, 

    deep 
    heart 
    of 
    Dixie 
    blue 

    Through 
    savage 
    progress 
    cuts 

    the 
    jungle 
    line 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    In 
    a low-cut 
    blouse, 
    blouse, 

    she 
    brings 
    the 
    beer

    Rousseau 
    paints 
    jungle 
    flower 

    behind 
    her 
    ear 

    Those 
    cannibals 
    of shuck 

    and 
    jive 

    They'll 
    eat 
    working 
    girl 

    like 
    her 
    alive 

    With 
    his 
    hard-edged 
    eyes 
    eyes 

    and 
    his 
    steady 
    hand 

    He paints 
    the cellar 
    full 
    of 

    ferns 
    and 
    orchid 
    vines 

    And 
    he 
    hangs 
    moon 
    above 

    five-piece 
    band 

    band 

    He 
    hangs 
    it 
    up 
    above 
    the 

    jungle 
    line 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 3
    The jungle 
    line, 
    the 
    jungle 
    line 

    Screaming 
    in 
    ritual 
    of sound 

    and 
    time 

    Floating, 
    drifting 
    on 
    the 

    air-conditioned 
    wind 

    wind 

    And 
    drooling 
    for 
    a taste 
    of 

    something 
    smuggled 
    in 

    Pretty 
    women 
    funneled 
    through 

    valves 
    and 
    smoke 

    Coy 
    and 
    bitchy, wild 
    and 
    fine 

    And 
    charging 
    elephants 
    and 
    chant

    ing 
    slaving 
    boats 

    Charging, 
    chanting 
    down 
    the 
    jungle 

    Interlude 3
    line 


    Verse 4
    There's 
    a poppy 
    wreath 
    on 

    soldier
    's 
    tomb 

    There's 
    a poppy 
    snake 
    in the 

    dressing 
    room 

    Poppy 
    poison-poppy 
    tourniquet 

    tourniquet 

    It 
    slithers 
    away 
    on 
    brass 
    like 

    mouthpiece 
    spit 

    And 
    metal 
    skin 
    and 
    ivory 
    birds 

    Go 
    steaming 
    up 
    to 
    Rousseau

    's 
    vines 

    They 
    go 
    steaming 
    up 
    to 

    Brooklyn 
    Bridge 

    Steaming, 
    steaming, 

    steaming 
    up 
    the 
    jungle 
    line

    • 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.
