    Verse 1
    Well, 
    I'm 

    dressed 
    up 
    so 
    nice 

    An' 
    I'm 
    doin' 
    my 
    best 

    Yes 
    I'm 
    startin' 
    over. 

    Startin' 
    over 
    in 
    another 
    place 

    Verse 2
    Lemme 
    tell 
    you 
    a story 

    Big 
    chief 
    with 
    a 
    golden 
    crown 

    He's 
    got 
    rings 
    on 
    his 
    fingers 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    walks 
    up, 
    up 
    to 
    the throne 

    Verse 3
    He's 
    makin' 
    shapes 
    with 
    his 
    hand
    s 

    An' 
    don't 
    you dare 
    sit 
    down 

    Now 
    don't 
    you 
    dare 
    sit 
    back 

    And 
    don't 
    you dare 
    speak 
    up! 

    Verse 4
    And 
    on 
    the 
    first 
    day, 

    we 
    had 
    everything 
    we 
    could 
    hold 

    Ooh and 
    then 
    we let 
    it 
    fall 

    And 
    on 
    the 
    second 
    day, 

    there 
    was 
    nothing 
    else 
    left 
    to 
    do 

    Ooh 
    what 
    a day 
    that 
    was. 

    Interlude 1


    There 
    are 
    50, 000 beggars 
    Verse 5

    Roaming 
    in 
    the streets 

    They 
    have 

    lost 
    all 
    their 
    possessions 

    They 
    have 
    nothing 
    left 
    to 
    eat 

    Verse 6
    Down 
    come 
    the 
    bolts 
    of 
    lightning 

    Now 
    an 
    electrical 
    storm 

    Starts 
    a chain 
    reaction 

    Go 
    pull 
    a fire 
    alarm 

    Verse 7

    I'm 
    dreaming 
    of 
    a 
    city 

    It 
    was 
    my 
    own 
    invention 

    And 
    I put 
    the wheels 
    in 
    motion 

    A time 
    for big 
    decisions 

    And 
    on 
    the 
    Verse 8
    first 
    day, 

    we had 
    everything 
    we 
    could 
    hold 

    Ooh 
    and 
    then 
    we let 
    it 
    fall 

    And 
    on 
    the 
    second 
    day, 

    there 
    was 
    nothing 
    else 
    left 
    to do 

    Ooh 
    what 
    a day 
    that 
    was. 


    Verse 9
    Oh 
    a 
    day 
    that 
    was 

    Ooh 
    that's 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    goes 

    There's 
    a 
    million 
    ways- 
    to 
    get 

    things 
    done 

    Three's 
    a million 
    ways- 
    to 

    make 
    things 
    work 
    out. 

    Verse 10
    Well 
    I'm 
    go
    ing 

    right 
    through 

    And 
    the 
    light 
    came 
    down 

    Well 
    they're 
    roundin' 
    'em 
    up 

    From 
    all 
    over 
    town 

    They're 
    movin' 
    Verse 11
    forward 
    and 

    back

    They're movin' 
    backwards 
    and 
    front 

    And 
    they're 
    en
    joying 

    themselves 

    Moving 
    in 
    ev'ry 
    direction 

    So 
    Verse 12
    if 
    you 
    feel 
    like 

    you're 
    in 
    a whirlpool 

    You feel 
    like 
    going 
    home 

    And 
    if you 
    feel 
    like 

    talking 
    to someone 

    Who 
    knows 
    the 
    difference 

    between 
    right 
    and 
    wrong 

    And 
    on 
    the 
    Verse 13
    first 
    day, 

    we 
    had 
    everything 
    we 
    could hold 

    Ooh and 
    then 
    we 
    let it 
    fall 

    And 
    on 
    the 
    second 
    day, 

    there 
    was 
    nothing 
    else 
    left 
    to 
    do 

    Ooh 
    what 
    a day 
    that 
    was. 

    Interlude 2




    Verse 14
    We're 
    go(in') 
    boom 

    boom boom 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    we 
    live 

    And 
    in 
    a 
    great 
    big 
    room 
    and 



    That's 
    the 
    way 
    we 
    live.

      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 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.
