Verse 1

C

G

F

Please, remember me happily

C

G

By the rosebush laughing

C

G

With bruises on my chin

F

The time when

C

G

we counted every black car passing

Am

G

Your house beneath the hill

F

And up until

C

G

Someone caught us in the kitchen

Am

G

With maps, a mountain range

F

A piggy bank

C

G

A vision too removed to mention

Verse 2

C

G

F

But please, remember me fondly

C

G

I heard from someone you're still pretty

C

G

And then they went on to say

F

That the pearly gates

C

G

had some el oquent graffi ti

Am

G

Like 'We'll meet again'

F

And 'Fuck the man'

C

G

And 'Tell my mother not to worry'

Am

G

F

And angels with their gray handshakes

C

G

And always done in such a hurry

Verse 3

C

G

F

And please, remember me at Halloween

C

G

Making fools of all the neighbours

C

G

Our faces painted white

F

C

G

By midnight we'd forgotten one another

Am

G

F

And when the morning came I was ashamed

C

G

Only now it seems so silly

Am

G

F

That season left the world and then returned

C

G

And now you're lit up by the city

Verse 4

C

G

F

So please, remember me mistakenly

C

G

In the window of the tallest tower

C

G

Call then pass us by

F

But much too high

C

G

To see the empty road at happy hour

Am

G

Leave and resonate

F

C

G

Just like the gates around the ho ly kingdom

Am

G

With words like 'Lost and Found'

F

and 'Don't Look Down'

C

G

And 'Someone Save Tempta tion'

Verse 5

C

G

F

And please, remember me as in the dream

C

G

We had as rug- burned ba bies

C

G

F

A mong the fallen trees and fast a sleep

C

G

Beside the li ons and the la dies

Am

G

That called you what you like

F

and even might

C

G

Give a gift for your behavior

Am

G

F

A fleeting chance to see a trapeze

C

G

Swing as high as any savior

Verse 6

C

G

F

But please, remember me, my misery

C

G

And how it lost me all I wanted

C

G

Those dogs that love the rain

F

And chasing trains

C

G

The colored birds above there running

Am

G

In circles round the well

F

And where it spells

C

G

On the wall behind St. Peter's

Am

G

F

So bright on cinder gray and spray paint

C

G

'Who the hell can see forev er?'

Verse 7

C

G

F

And please, remember me seldomly

C

G

In the car behind the carnival

C

G

My hand between your knees

F

You turn from me

C

G

And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful

Am

G

But never meant to last'

F

The clowns that passed

C

G

Saw me just come up with an ger

Am

G

When it filled with circus dogs

F

C

G

The parking lot had an el ement of danger

Verse 8

C

G

F

So please, remember me finally

C

G

And all my up hill clawing

C

G

F

My dear but if I make the pearly gates

C

G

Do my best to make a drawing

Am

G

F

Of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl

C

G

An angel kissing on a sinner

Am

G

F

A monkey and a man, a marching band

C

G

All around the frightened trapeze swingers

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.”
