    don't 
    bless 
    them 

    Fare
    well... 

    Verse 1
    to 
    this 
    land's 
    cheerless 
    marshes 

    Hemmed 
    in 
    like 
    boar 
    between 
    arches 

    Her 
    very 
    Lowness 
    with 
    head 
    in 
    sling 

    I'm 
    truly 
    sorry 

    but 
    it 
    sounds 
    like 
    wonderful 
    thing 


    Verse 2
    said 
    Charles, 
    don't 
    you 
    ever 
    crave 

    To 
    appear 
    on 
    the 
    front 
    of 
    the 
    Daily 
    Mail 

    Dressed 
    in 
    your 
    Mother's 
    bridal 
    veil? 

    Interlude 1
    Oh... 

    Verse 3
    And 
    so, 
    checked 
    all 
    the 
    registered 

    historical 
    facts 

    And 
    was 
    shocked 
    into 
    shame 
    to 
    discover 

    How 
    I'm 
    the 
    eighteenth 
    pale 
    descendant 

    Of 
    some 
    old 
    queen 
    or 
    oth
    er 

    Verse 4
    Oh, 
    has 
    the 
    world 
    changed, 

    or 
    have 
    changed? 

    Oh 
    has 
    the 
    world 
    changed, 

    or 
    have 
    changed? 

    Some 
    nine 
    year 
    old 
    tough 
    who 
    peddles 
    drugs 

    swear 
    to 
    God 

    swear: 
    never 
    even 
    knew 
    what 
    drugs 
    were 

    Interlude 2
    Oh... 

    Verse 5
    So, 
    broke 
    into 
    the 
    palace 

    With 
    sponge 
    and 
    rusty 
    spanner 

    She 
    said: 
    "Eh, 
    know 
    you, 

    and 
    you 
    cannot 
    sing" 

    said: 
    "That's 
    nothing 

    you 
    should 
    hear 
    me 
    play 
    pian
    o" 

    Verse 6
    We 
    can 
    go 
    for 
    walk 

    where 
    it's 
    quiet 
    and 
    dry 

    And 
    talk 
    about 
    precious 
    things 

    But 
    when 
    you're 
    tied 
    to 
    your 
    Mother's 
    apron 

    No-
    one 
    talks 
    about 

    Interlude 3
    (castra
    tion) 
    Oh... 

    Verse 7
    We 
    can 
    go 
    for 
    walk 

    where 
    it's 
    quiet 
    and 
    dry 

    And 
    talk 
    about 
    precious 
    things 

    Like 
    love 
    and 
    law 
    and 
    poverty 

    Oh, 
    these 
    are 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    kill 
    me 

    Verse 8
    We 
    can 
    go 
    for 
    walk 

    where 
    it's 
    quiet 
    and 
    dry 

    And 
    talk 
    about 
    precious 
    things 

    But 
    the 
    rain 
    that 
    flattens 
    my 
    hair... 

    Oh, 
    these 
    are 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    kill 
    me 

    Chorus 1
    All 
    their 
    lies 

    about 
    make-up 
    and 
    long 
    hair, 
    are 
    still 
    there 


    Verse 9
    Past 
    the 
    pub 
    who 
    saps 
    your 
    body 

    And 
    the 
    church 
    who'll 
    snatch 
    your 
    money 

    The 
    Queen 
    is 
    dead, 
    boys 

    And 
    it's 
    so 
    lonely 
    on 
    limb 


    Verse 10
    Past 
    the 
    pub 
    that 
    wrecks 
    your 
    body 

    And 
    the 
    church, 
    all 
    they 
    want 
    is 
    your 
    money 

    The 
    Queen 
    is 
    dead, 
    boys 

    And 
    it's 
    so 
    lonely 
    on 
    limb

    Life 
    is 
    very 
    long, 

    when 
    you're 
    lonely 


    Life 
    is 
    very 
    long, 

    when 
    you're 
    lonely

    you're 
    lonely

    long, 

    when 
    you're 
    lonely

    • 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.
