  • Verse 1
    When Man
    hattan 
    was 
    maiden, 

    was 
    her 
    lover 

    I was 
    Brooklyn 
    Bridge 
    carrying 

    wood 
    for 
    her 
    fires 

    The 
    horns 
    and 
    the 
    whistles 

    her 
    personal 
    choir 

    Verse 2

    And 
    oh, how 
    the 
    band 
    played 

    And 
    oh, 
    once 
    again 
    into 
    the dawn 

    Verse 3

    When Man
    hattan 
    was 
    maiden, 

    was 
    her 
    lover 

    I was 
    the snow 
    curving 
    blind 

    down 
    around 
    her hips 

    The 
    horse 
    making 
    tracks 

    on 
    the first 
    of 
    his trips 

    As 
    the deep 
    scarlet 
    moon, 

    was 
    kissing 
    her 
    lips 

    And 
    oh, 
    how 
    Verse 4
    the 
    band 
    played 
    on 

    And 
    oh, 
    how 
    the 
    band 
    played 
    on 

    And 
    oh, 
    once 
    again 
    into 
    the dawn 

    When 
    Manhattan 
    was 
    maiden 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    Now 
    she 
    is a wild 
    girl, 
    this 
    is
    land 

    The 
    shucks 
    of the 
    sidewalks 

    She leaps 
    of 
    it's ledge 

    Does
    n't need 
    to be 
    reminded 

    With 
    Verse 6
    her 'touch 
    me' 
    pant
    s and 

    her 'go 
    to 
    hell' shoes 

    Not much 
    could still 
    be 
    new 
    for her

    This 
    beau
    ty born 
    and bru
    tal 
    as 
    the 
    New 
    York 
    day 

    is long 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 7
    When Man
    hattan 
    was 
    maiden, 

    was 
    her 
    lover 

    Maybe 
    she 
    still has 
    my pic
    ture 
    between some 

    leather- 
    bound 
    pages 

    But her 
    number, 
    it changes 
    again 
    and 
    again 

    don't 
    know if 
    she 
    would 

    recognize 
    such 
    an 
    old 
    friend 

    But 
    oh, 
    how 
    Verse 8
    the 
    band 
    plays 
    on 

    And oh, how 
    the 
    band 
    plays 
    on 

    Oh, 
    once 
    again 
    into 
    the dawn 

    Oh, 
    Verse 9
    New 
    York 
    City, 
    baby 

    Happy 
    New Year 

    Once 
    again 
    into 
    the dawn 

    'Round 
    again, 
    it 
    goes 
    around

    • 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.
