  • Verse 1
    Starry, 
    starry 
    night 

    Paint 
    your 
    palette 
    blue 
    and 
    gray 

    Look 
    out 
    on 
    summer's 
    day 

    With 
    eyes 
    that 
    know 
    the 
    darkness 
    in 
    my 
    soul 

    Verse 2
    Shadows 
    on 
    the 
    hills 

    Sketch 
    the 
    trees 
    and 
    the 
    daffo
    dils 

    Catch 
    the 
    breeze 
    and 
    the 
    winter 
    chills 

    In 
    colors 
    on 
    the 
    snowy, 
    linen 
    land 

    Chorus 1
    Now, 
    under
    stand 

    what 
    you 
    tried 
    to 
    say 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    how 
    you 
    suffered 
    for 
    your 
    sanity 

    And 
    how 
    you 
    tried 
    to 
    set 
    them 
    free 

    They 
    would 
    not 
    listen, 
    they 
    did 
    not 
    know 
    how 

    Per
    haps 
    they'll 
    listen 
    now 

    Verse 3
    Starry, 
    starry 
    night 

    Flaming 
    flow
    ers 
    that 
    brightly 
    blaze 

    Swirling 
    clouds 
    in 
    violet 
    haze 

    Re
    flect 
    in 
    Vincent's 
    eyes 
    of 
    china 
    blue 

    Verse 4
    Colors 
    changing 
    hue 

    Morning 
    fields 
    of 
    amber 
    grain 

    Weathered 
    faces 
    lined 
    in 
    pain 

    Are 
    soothed 
    beneath 
    the 
    artist's 
    loving 
    hand 

    Chorus 2
    Now, 
    under
    stand 

    what 
    you 
    tried 
    to 
    say 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    how 
    you 
    suffered 
    for 
    your 
    sanity 

    And 
    how 
    you 
    tried 
    to 
    set 
    them 
    free 

    They 
    would 
    not 
    listen, 
    they 
    did 
    not 
    know 
    how 

    Per
    haps 
    they'll 
    listen 
    now 

    Bridge 1
    For 
    they 
    could 
    not 
    love 
    you 

    But 
    still 
    your 
    love 
    was 
    true 

    And 
    when 
    no 
    hope 
    was 
    left 
    inside 

    On 
    that 
    starry, 
    starry, 
    night 

    You 
    took 
    your 
    life 
    as 
    lovers 
    often 
    do 

    But 
    could 
    have 
    told 
    you, 
    Vincent 

    This 
    world 
    was 
    never 
    meant 
    for 
    one 

    As 
    beautiful 
    as 
    you 

    Verse 5
    Starry, 
    starry 
    night 

    Portraits 
    hung 
    in 
    empty 
    halls 

    Frameless 
    heads 
    on 
    nameless 
    walls 

    With 
    eyes 
    that 
    watch 
    the 
    world 

    and 
    can't 
    for
    get 

    Verse 6
    Like 
    the 
    strangers 
    that 
    you've 
    met 

    The 
    ragged 
    men 
    in 
    ragged 
    clothes 

    The 
    silver 
    thorn 
    of 
    bloody 
    rose 

    Lie 
    crushed 
    and 
    broken 
    on 
    the 
    virgin 
    snow 

    Chorus 3
    Now, 
    think 
    know 

    what 
    you 
    tried 
    to 
    say 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    how 
    you 
    suffered 
    for 
    your 
    sanity 

    And 
    how 
    you 
    tried 
    to 
    set 
    them 
    free 

    They 
    would 
    not 
    listen, 

    they're 
    not 
    listening 
    still 

    Perhaps 
    they 
    never 
    will

    • 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.
