    My 
    tea 
    turned 
    seven 
    Verse 1
    shades 
    darker 

    as 
    I 
    sit 
    'n' write 
    these words 

    and 
    Lon
    don's 
    gettin' 
    paler 

    in 
    my 
    theatre 
    of 
    the 
    absurd. 

    You 
    figured 
    for 
    an evening 

    and 
    you 
    made 
    it 
    all 
    worthwile. 

    It's seldom 
    people 
    have 
    a job 

    and 
    even 
    rarer 
    that 
    I 
    smile. 

    Play 
    me 
    some, 
    Verse 2
    play 
    me some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power
    . 

    Teach 
    your 
    children 
    to 
    be 
    them 

    and 
    never 
    ever 
    ours. 

    Play 
    me some, 
    play 
    me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power. 

    Someone 
    took 
    the 
    park 
    away 

    but 
    they 
    left 
    a 
    lonely 
    flower. 

    Interlude 1


    And 
    if 
    your 
    songs 
    Verse 3

    be classics, 

    throw 
    them 
    to 
    the 
    hurd. 

    Truth 
    is 
    where 
    they 
    came 
    from 

    and 
    not 
    this 
    theatre 
    of 
    the 
    ab
    surd. 

    Some 
    say 
    you 
    wanted 
    to 
    play 
    for 
    me 

    but 
    it's 
    only 
    what 
    you've 
    heard 

    that 
    made 
    you 
    want 
    to 
    capture 
    me 

    in 
    your 
    theatre 
    of 
    the 
    absurd. 

    It 
    was 
    not 
    me, 
    I 
    said 
    myself 

    and 
    you 
    must 
    do 
    so, 
    too. 

    I 
    hope 
    you 
    have 
    the 
    strength 
    to stay 

    when 
    I'll 
    be 
    watchin' 
    you. 

    So 
    baby, 
    Verse 4

    play 
    me some, 
    play 
    me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power
    . 

    Teach 
    your 
    children 
    to 
    be 
    them 

    and 
    never 
    ever 
    ours. 

    Play 
    me some, 
    play 
    me some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power. 

    Someone 
    took 
    the 
    park 
    away 

    but 
    they 
    left 
    a lonely 
    flower. 

    Interlude 2


    Oh 
    when 
    I got 
    here 
    Verse 5
    back 

    home 
    tonight 

    something 
    within 
    me 
    stirred. 

    Oh 
    it 
    must 
    have 
    been 
    a 

    different 
    kind 
    of 
    play 

    that 
    touched 
    my 
    theatre 
    of 
    the 
    absurd. 

    Now 
    I'll 
    be 
    on 
    my 
    way 
    alone 

    But 
    an 
    interesting 
    thing 
    occurred 

    See 
    nobody 
    ever 
    shared 
    too 
    much 

    in 
    my 
    theatre 
    of 
    the 
    absurd. 

    And 
    there 
    I 
    was 
    back 
    in 
    London, 

    thought 
    about 
    history. 

    It 
    was 
    just 
    like 
    being 
    in 
    school 
    again 

    but I 
    felt 
    something 
    movin' 

    in me. 

    Hearin' 
    just 
    a 
    bit 
    of 
    the 
    future, 

    oh 
    it's 
    com
    in' 
    and 
    it's 
    still 
    blurred 

    and 
    that's 
    the 
    only 
    thing 
    worth 
    living 
    for 

    in 
    my 
    theatre 
    of 
    the 
    absurd. 

    Verse 6
    Come on, 

    play 
    me some, 
    play 
    me some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power. 

    Teach 
    your 
    children 
    to 
    be 
    them 

    and 
    never 
    ever 
    ours. 

    Oh 
    play 
    me 
    some, 
    play me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power. 

    Someone 
    took 
    the 
    park 
    away 

    but 
    they 
    left 
    a lonely 
    flower

    . 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 7
    (Beautiful) 
    Play 
    me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brix
    ton 
    power. 

    Play 
    me 
    some, 
    play me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power
    . 

    (John, come 
    on) 

    Play 
    me some, 

    play 

    me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brix
    ton 
    power
    . 

    Oh, 
    play 
    me some, 
    (Come on, 

    Eric) play 
    me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power. 

    Oh, 
    play me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    some, 

    play 
    me 
    Brixton 
    power.

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      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.
