    Verse 1
    Dark 
    alley (dark alley) 
    black 
    star 

    Four 
    turkeys 
    in 
    a big 
    black 
    car 

    The 
    road 
    is shiny 
    (bright shine) the 

    wheels 
    slide 

    Four 
    turkeys 
    going 
    for 
    a 
    dangerous 
    ride 

    The 
    lacquer 
    crackles 

    (black tar) the 
    engines 
    roar 

    A ship 
    was 
    turning 
    broadside 

    to 
    the shore 

    Splish 
    splash 
    I 
    was 
    raking 
    in 
    the cash 

    The 
    bio
    logy 
    of 
    purpose 
    keeps 
    my 
    nose 

    above 
    the 
    surface 
    (OOH) 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    put 
    the 
    inno
    cence 
    in
    side 
    her, it 
    will 
    come, 

    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will surely 
    come 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    was 
    a 
    mother 
    to 
    de
    sire, 

    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it will surely 
    come 

    In New 
    Delhi (smelly Delhi) 

    and 
    Hong 
    Kong 

    They 
    all 
    know 
    that 
    it 
    won't 
    be 
    long 

    I 
    count 
    my 
    fingers 

    (digit counter) as 
    night 
    falls 

    And draw 
    bananas 
    on 
    the 
    bathroom 
    walls 

    The killer 
    cycles 

    (humdrum) the killer 
    hertz 

    The passage 
    of 
    my life 
    is 

    measured 
    out 
    in shirts 

    Time 
    and 
    motion (motion 

    carried) time 
    and 
    tide 

    All 
    I 
    know 
    and 
    all 
    I 
    have 
    is 
    time 

    and 
    time 
    and 
    tide 
    is 
    on 
    my side 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    put 
    the 
    poker 
    in 
    the 
    fire, 

    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will 
    surely 
    come 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    was 
    a 
    mother 
    to 
    desire, 
    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it will 
    come, 

    it 
    will surely 
    come 



    The weapon's 
    ready (ready 

    Freddy) the 
    guns 
    purr 

    The satellite 
    distorts 
    his 
    voice 
    to 
    a slur 

    He 
    gives 
    orders 
    (finger pie) which 

    no 
    one 
    hears 

    The king's 
    hat 
    fits 
    over 
    their 
    ears 

    He 
    takes 
    his 
    modicate (indecipherable) cold 

    turpentine 

    He tries 
    to 
    dial 
    out 
    999999999 

    He dials 
    reception 

    (moving finger) he's 
    all 
    alone 

    He's 
    just 
    a victim 
    of 
    the telephone 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    made 
    the 
    Amazon 
    much 
    wider, 

    it will 
    come, 
    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will 
    surely 
    come 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    put 
    the 
    poker 
    in 
    the 
    fire, 

    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will surely 
    come 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    was 
    a 
    mother 
    to 
    desire, 

    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it 
    will surely 
    come 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    put 
    the 
    innocence 
    inside 
    her, 
    it 
    will come, 

    it will come, 
    it 
    will surely 
    come 

    King's 
    lead 
    hat 
    was a 
    ham
    mer 
    to desire, 
    it will come, 

    it 
    will 
    come, 
    it will 

    surely 
    come.

      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.
