    • Verse 1
    There's 
    a 
    moon 
    over 
    bourbon 
    street 

    tonight 

    I 
    see 
    faces 
    as 
    they 
    pass 

    beneath 
    the 
    pale 
    lamp
    light 

    I've 
    no 
    choice 
    but 
    to 
    follow 
    that 
    call 

    The 
    bright 
    lights 
    the 
    people 

    and 
    the 
    moon 
    and 
    all 

    I 
    pray 
    every
    day 

    to 
    be 
    strong 

    For 
    I 
    know 
    what 
    I 
    do 

    must 
    be 
    wrong 

    Oh 
    you'll 
    never 
    see 
    my 
    shade 

    or 
    hear 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    my 
    feet 

    While 
    there's 
    a 
    moon 
    over 
    bourbon 

    Interlude 1
    (street) 




    Verse 2
    It 
    was 
    many 
    years 
    ago 

    that 
    I 
    be
    came 
    what 
    I 
    am 

    I 
    was 
    trapped 
    in 
    this 
    life 

    like 
    an 
    innocent 
    lamb 

    Now 
    I 
    can 
    never 
    show 
    my 
    face 

    at 
    noon 

    And 
    you'll 
    only 
    see 
    me 
    walking 

    by 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    the 
    moon 

    The 
    brim 
    of 
    my 
    hat 

    hides 
    the 
    eye 
    of 
    a 
    beast 

    I've 
    the 
    face 
    of 
    a 
    sinner 

    but 
    the 
    hands 
    of 
    a 
    priest 

    Oh 
    you'll 
    never 
    see 
    my 
    shade 

    or 
    hear 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    my 
    feet 

    While 
    there's 
    a 
    moon 
    over 
    bourbon 

    Interlude 2
    (street) 




    Interlude 3




    Verse 3
    She 
    walks 
    everyday 
    through 
    the 

    streets 
    of 
    New 
    Or
    leans 

    She's 
    innocent 
    and 
    young 

    from 
    a 
    family 
    of 
    means 

    I 
    have 
    stood 
    many 
    times 

    outside 
    her 
    window 
    at 
    night 

    To 
    struggle 
    with 
    my 
    instinct 

    in 
    the 
    pale 
    moonlight 

    How 
    could 
    I 
    be 
    this 
    way 

    when 
    I 
    pray 
    to 
    god 
    above 

    I 
    must 
    love 
    what 
    I 
    destroy 

    and 
    de
    stroy 
    the 
    thing 
    I 
    love 

    Oh 
    you'll 
    never 
    see 
    my 
    shade 

    or 
    hear 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    my 
    feet 

    While 
    there's 
    a 
    moon 
    over 
    bourbon 
    street

      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.
