    • Verse 1
    When 
    I 
    was 
    most 
    beautiful 

    Cities 
    were falling 

    And 
    from 
    unexpected 
    places 

    blue 
    sky was 
    seen 

    When 
    I 

    was 
    most 
    beautiful 

    People 
    around me were 
    killed 

    And 
    for paint and 
    powder I lost 

    the chance 

    Verse 2
    When 
    I was most 
    beautiful 

    Nobody 
    gave me 
    kind 

    gifts 

    Men 
    knew only to 
    salute 
    and went 
    away 

    When 
    I was most beautiful 

    My country 
    lost the 
    war 

    I paraded 
    the main 
    street 

    With my 
    blouse sleeves rolled 
    high 

    When 
    I was most beautiful 


    Jazz overflowed the radio 


    I broke the prohibition 
    against smoking 


    Sweet music of another 
    land! 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    most beautiful 

    i was most unhappy 

    I was quite absurd 
    i was quite 

    lonely 

    That's why 
    I decided 
    Verse 3
    to live 
    long 


    Like Monsieur Rouault who was 
    a 

    Very old man 
    when he 
    painted such 


    Terribly beautiful pictures 
    you see?

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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 🙂

      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.
