    Verse 1

    C#m
    F#m

    Are we the fools for being
    Bm
    G

    suprised that a silence could end with no sound
    A
    D

    Like the silent movie era, like with snow,
    A
    D

    like when Sal's burned down
    F#m

    Well, yeah, there was noise,
    C#m
    F#
    Bm
    G

    but nothing to mark the passing on
    F#

    Of that great unspoken
    Bm

    chance we had found
    G

    Where the night's end came,
    F#m
    F#

    well- trod and familiar
    Bm

    Like the Charlie Chapin walk that fades
    G
    D

    to black
    F#m

    And there wasn't anyone
    Bm

    trying to sell their souls
    G
    A

    They were only trying to
    D
    F#m
    Bm

    buy them back

    Well, yeah, there was a Sal,

    G

    he walked with bulging pockets 'round town

    Either he was up to no good or he just got
    D
    A
    D

    excited watching things burn down
    F#m
    Bm

    Well I guess he got the idea if you hold
    G

    a chunk of gold in your hand now
    F#

    For once in your life you can
    Bm

    throw some weight around
    G

    And Sal, you slimeball sell- out,
    F#

    how can we blame you?
    Bm

    We all want something to put
    G
    D

    our fingers on
    F#m

    And you never know the true
    Bm

    throne that you've lost
    G

    If you toss around some word

    Bm
    G

    Sal was carrying a torch for the mob
    D
    F#m
    C#m

    But the mob's gone too, yeah,
    Bm

    the only sign of them left
    G

    Is on every screen at the multiplex,
    Bm
    A

    and we go there, no prob, hey
    D
    F#m

    'Cause there ain't no cowboys
    Bm
    G

    in this Connecticut town
    A

    No, not anymore, no,
    D
    A
    D

    not since Sal's burned down
    F#m
    Bm

    Once you'd dip your tin cup down
    G

    in the muse's watering hole
    F#m
    F#
    F#m
    Bm

    Or pioneer a new patch

    of common ground
    G

    Then you'd lie on your time-
    Bm
    F#

    traveled bedroll
    Bm

    Quite amazed at the
    G
    D

    expansive terrain
    A
    F#m
    Bm

    And if anyone said that you'd never have fame and fortune,
    G

    just that bar
    A

    You know you'd ride that
    D
    F#m
    A
    F#m
    Bm

    way again
    G
    A
    D

    I bet you'd ride that way again.

    • 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.
