    Verse 1
    When 
    I first 

    came 
    to 
    London 
    was 
    only 
    sixteen 

    With 
    a fiver 
    in 
    my 
    pocket 

    and 
    my 
    ole 
    dancing 
    bag 

    went 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    dilly 
    to 

    check 
    out 
    the 
    scene 

    And 
    i soon 
    ended 
    up 
    on 

    the 
    old 
    main 
    drag 

    Verse 2
    There 
    the 
    he- 
    males 
    and 
    the she- 

    males 
    paraded 
    in style 

    And the 
    old 
    man 
    with 
    the 
    money 

    would 
    flash 
    you 
    a smile 

    In 
    the dark 
    of 
    an 
    alley 
    you'd 

    work 
    for 
    fiver

    For 
    a swift 
    one

    In 
    the cold 
    winter 
    nights 
    the old 

    town 
    it 
    was 
    chill 

    But there 
    were boys 
    in 
    the 
    cafes 

    who'd 
    give 
    you 
    cheap 
    pill

    If 
    you did
    n't 
    have 
    the 
    money 

    you'd 
    ca
    jole 
    or 
    you'd 
    beg 

    There 
    was 
    always 
    lots 
    of

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    One 
    evening 
    as 
    was 
    lying 

    down 
    by 
    leicester 
    square 

    was 
    picked 
    up 
    by 
    the coppers 

    and 
    kicked 
    in 
    the 
    ball

    Between 
    the 
    metal 
    doors 
    at vine 

    street 
    was 
    beaten 
    and 
    mauled 

    And 
    they ruined 
    my 
    good 

    looks 
    for 
    the 
    old 
    main 
    drag 

    Verse 5
    In

    station 
    the 
    old 
    ones 

    who were 
    on 
    the 
    way 
    out

    Would 
    dribble 
    and 
    vomit 

    and 
    grovel 
    and 
    shout 

    And 
    the coppers 
    would 
    come 
    along 

    and 
    push 
    them 
    about 

    And

    ly
    ing 
    here 
    I've 

    had 
    too 
    much 
    booze 

    I've 
    been shat 
    on 
    and 
    spat 

    on 
    and 
    raped 
    and

    and 

    wish 
    could

    For 
    some 
    money 
    to 
    take 

    me 
    from

    • 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.
