not sure who I was cheering for

My aim was true, my heart was full,
Csus2
I loved the fighter and the bull
G
Em
I loved like only a woman can,
Csus2
a very complicated man

I bound his wounds, I heard his cries, I gave him truth,
Em
I told him lies

Verse 2
C
Em
Csus2
His rage is made of many things: faithless women,
wedding rings
D
Snakes and snails and alcohol,
Csus2
his daddy's fist thrown through the wall
C
Em
Ah but he's beautiful when he's in the ring,
Csus2
the devil howls, the angels sing
D
Sparks fly from his fingertips and word
Csus2
C
s like birds fly from his lips
Verse 3
C
Some man is lyin' in the dirt
D
Some woman's crying
that he's hurt
C
But he's not alive without the thrill
D
Without the dance, without the kill
C
The lights go down, the people roar
D
They're cheering on the matador
C
And this is how the story goes
D
Em
I knew it when I threw the rose

I come to each and every show; the

woman in the second row
D
I watch them in their ancient dance and I
Csus2

Em
Cause while other demons prance and clown,
C
Csus2
it's vanity that takes you down
D
I thought that I could be the one,
Csus2
C
Csus2
but I'm just another hanger- on

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
