Intro 1

Verse 1
G

It was eight o'clock one night and

I'm walking down the line

Heading for The Grove to meet

some friends of mine.

Then out of a doorway comes

these two bad talking guys

They say "Hey there white girl"

and take me to one side.

My heart it was a pounding cause they

caught me with a fright

The streetlight was a burning as

I looked into their eyes

Well a thousand times I've walked these

streets so I wasn't too surprised
D

When they said we got some stuff
G

that you might like to buy.

I said I've got no money and even if I did

I wouldn't go a spending it on

some old dustbin lid

Then just at that moment a

cop's car passed us by
D

I could see the faces in it out of
G

the corner of my eye.

The streetlight guys are grinning as

the cop lined on ahead

The time to leave was now

"Goodbye" is what I said
F

And they just smiled and sighed "We
G
Bm

may see you again."
D

Now I just strode on down the line
G

to Grove to meet my friends.

Left out of All Saints across

Portobello Road

Underneath the Westway and

into Ladbroke Grove.

Up two flights of stairs

into a darkened hall

Click my heels count to three

as smoke creeps out the door.

I rap upon it once and then I rap again

A voice says "Hi, hello,

come in and meet my friends."

So I take a step inside say "Hey,

how you doing?"
D

But I didn't shake again 'cause
G

I already knew it.

There's Tone Loc on the player

singing Funky Cold Medina

I mentioned that I saw her when she looked
D
G

a bit like Neneh - Cherry that is.

But I don't want to spill that wine

and the hour it's getting late

So I just say goodbye let's
F

make another date.
G
Bm

Bye bye boys. Bye bye.
D

I click my heels count to four
G

and stroll right out the door.

Now I fall out of the hallway

back onto the street

Jump in a passing cab oh it

takes me home to sleep.

I pay the taxi man and go inside my flat

Click my heels count to five

and fall over the cat.

Switch the TV on to watch LA Law

The bell begins to ring oh

the cops are at my door

But they don't wait for me

to open it they just bust it in
D

Push my face into the floor and
G

ask me where I been.

Well I been sweating all summer

and slaving like a dog

Got blisters in my throat

and my legs feel like wood

But that's another story

I'll tell another time
D

But what i want to know right now
G

is what's in store tonight.

The next thing that I know

I'm in the station cell

Oh they've taken most of my clothes

and they took my bag as well
F

The bed stinks of piss so I
G

lie down on the floor
D

The only thing I smell is the smoke
G

creepin in beneath my door.
Outro 1
G

  • 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.
