G

A
G
C
Once I was happy,
F
D
but now I'm forlorn
G
Like an old coat that
C
G
is tattered and torn
C
Left in this wide world to
F
D
weep and to mourn
G
C
Betrayed by a maid in her teens
A
Now this girl that I love,
E
she was handsome,
Am
A
E
and I tried all I knew her to please,
A
E
but I never could please her one quarter so
well as the man on the flying trapeze.
G
C
Oh, he floats through the air
F
D
with the greatest of ease
G
This daring young man
C
on the flying trapeze
G
C
His actions are graceful,
F
D
all girls he does please
G
C
My love he has stolen away
Ab
Db
One night I, as usual,
Gb
Eb
went to her dear home,
Ab
Db
Ab
Db
Found there her father and mother alone.
I asked for my love
Gb
Eb
and it soon was made known,
Ab
Db
To my horror that she'd run away.
Bbm
Without any true soul
F
she fled in the night,
Bbm
F
With him, with the greatest of ease.
Bbm
From two stories high
F
he had lowered her down
Fm
F
To the ground on his flying trapeze
Ab
Db
Oh, he floats through the air
Gb
Eb
with the greatest of ease
Ab
This daring young man on
Db
Ab
the flying trapeze
Db
His actions are graceful,
Gb
Eb
girls, he does please
Ab
Db
A
My love he has stolen away
D
G
E
Some months after that I went into a hall
A
D
And to my surprise I found there on the wall
G
E
A bill in red letters that did my heart go
A
D
As she was appearing with him
Bm
Oh, taught her gymnastics
F#
and dressed her in tights
Bm
F#
To help him to live at his ease
Cbm
He had made her take on
F#
a masculine name
F#dim
F#
And now she goes on the trapeze
A
A
D
Oh, she floats through the air
G
E
with the greatest of ease
A
You'd think her a man
D
on the flying trapeze
She does all the work while
G
E
he takes his ease
A
Bm
A
D
And that's what's become of my love

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
