    Verse 1
    When 
    I 
    was 
    dead, 

    I 
    wore 
    a strong 
    perfume 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    dead, 

    I 
    never 
    left 
    the room 

    And 
    I saw 
    the 
    apples 
    hanging, 

    like 
    mo
    ments 
    in 
    the 
    orch
    ard 

    But falling 
    into 
    action; the mo
    ment 

    soon 
    is 
    over; no 
    return
    s 

    Verse 2
    When 
    I 
    was 
    dead, 

    I 
    wasn't 
    interested 
    in 
    sex 

    I 
    didn't 
    even 
    care 
    what 
    happened 
    next 

    I 
    was 
    free 
    as 
    a 
    penny 
    whistle, 

    and 
    si
    lent 
    as 
    the 
    glove 

    I 
    wasn't 
    me 
    to 
    speak 
    of, 

    just 
    a 
    thousand 
    ancient 
    feelings 

    That 
    vanished 
    into 
    nothing; into 

    Interlude 1
    love 


    Verse 3
    When 
    I 
    was 
    dead, 

    somebody 
    took my 
    hand 
    (When I 
    was 
    dead) 

    I 
    couldn't 
    see 
    his 
    face; I 
    took his 

    hand 
    (I couldn't 
    see) 

    And 
    the 
    Devil 
    asked 
    me 
    to 

    supper; he said 

    "Careful 
    with 
    the 
    spoons!" 

    And 
    God 
    said: 
    "Oh, 

    ig
    nore 
    him! 
    I've 
    got 
    all your 
    al
    bums" 

    I said: 
    "Yes, 

    but 
    who's 
    got 
    all 
    the 
    tun
    es?" 

    Verse 4
    When 
    I 
    was 
    dead 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    dead 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    dead 

    Outro 1
    When 
    I 
    was 
    dead

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
