    • Intro 1



    I 
    was born 
    in 
    Verse 1
    San 
    Francisco 
    when the bay 
    was 
    full 
    of 
    cruiser
    s 

    Where 
    the west 
    wind 
    smells 
    of fishing 
    boat

    s 
    for 
    fifty 
    miles 
    around 

    My 
    father 
    wore 
    a crew 
    cut, 

    he was 
    lean 
    and 
    he was 
    handsome 

    And 
    my 
    mother 
    wore 
    a sash 

    of 
    yellow 
    roses 
    on 
    her 
    gown 

    They 
    would walk 
    me down 
    Verse 2

    from Green 
    Street 

    Pass 
    cathedrals 
    on the hill 
    sides 

    And 
    the carillons 
    could 
    fill 
    the hearts 

    of 
    any one 
    in town 

    I remember 
    how they 
    looked then, 

    when their 
    eyes 
    were al
    ways 
    living 

    When my father 
    loved a 
    girl 
    with yellow 
    roses 
    on 

    her gown 

    Verse 3

    Then we moved 
    to Pla
    cer County 
    where 

    the weather 
    was 
    a
    joker

    And 
    I watched 
    my 
    parents 
    laughter 

    turn 
    from 
    amber 
    into 
    ice 

    But 
    my 
    father 
    never 
    stumbled, 

    he would 
    tell 
    me 
    things 
    would 
    change 
    soon 

    He 
    would 
    bear 
    and 
    bear 
    the 
    insult
    s 

    of a 
    pair 
    of 
    loaded 
    dice 

    Verse 4

    And 
    my 
    mother 
    stood 
    be
    side 
    him 

    though 
    her 
    heart 
    was 
    on 
    the 
    hill 
    side 

    Of a 
    city 
    where 
    a 
    soldier 
    an
    d 

    his 
    lover 
    bed
    ded 
    down 

    And 
    at night 
    amid 
    the 
    whisper 

    of 
    the pines 
    in 
    Man
    zanita 

    She 
    would 
    cry 
    into 
    the sash 
    of 
    yellow 
    roses 
    on 
    her 

    Interlude 1
    gown 


    Verse 5
    Now 
    my father's 
    living 
    eastward 

    by 
    the Sacramento 
    River 

    And 
    he swears 
    to me 
    he's 
    happy 

    with 
    his practice 
    and 
    some 
    land 

    In 
    the springtime 
    and 
    the summer 

    when 
    the fog 
    is off 
    the valley 

    I 
    visit 
    him 
    on 
    week
    ends, 

    his 
    grass 
    is 
    overgrown 

    Verse 6

    Some
    times 
    after 
    dinner, 

    I will 
    gaze 
    away 
    the evening 

    In 
    the attic 
    at a sash 
    of yellow 
    roses 

    on 
    her gown

      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 🙂

      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.
