    Verse 1
    There 
    was 
    a man 
    whose 

    memories 
    were 
    made 
    up, 

    Of 
    nothing. 

    He 
    pushed 
    the 
    elevator 
    button, 

    and 
    go 
    home, 

    To 
    nothing. 

    Yes 
    his 
    business 
    had 
    prospered 
    but 
    women 
    get lonely 
    sometimes, 

    now 
    she 
    has 
    the 
    house 

    His 
    son 
    in 
    college 
    had 
    dropped 
    out, 

    To 
    expand 
    his 
    mind. 

    And 
    Sarah, 
    his 
    daughter 

    had 
    not 
    spoken 
    to 
    him. 

    Maybe 
    he'd 
    raised 
    her 

    the 
    wrong 
    way. 

    He 
    wondered. 

    He 
    checked 
    his 
    mailbox, 

    with 
    fingers 
    a-tremblin' 

    No 
    No 
    mail, 
    from 
    anyone. 


    ¡°I'm home¡± he said 
    softly, 

    as he 
    opened 
    the door 

    And 
    gazed 
    at 
    his 
    empty 
    apartment. 

    Aching, 
    thinking. 



    Southbound 
    jericho 
    parkway 

    Is 
    what 
    you 
    call 
    one-way 
    street. 

    street. 

    Southbound 
    jericho 
    parkway 

    Is 
    what 
    you 
    call 
    one-way 
    street. 

    street. 

    At 
    7.20, Monday 
    after 
    New 
    Year, 

    Mis
    ter 
    Henry 
    Johnson 
    leaned 

    against 
    the pedal 

    Aimed 
    his 
    Lincoln 
    steady 
    and 
    drove 
    himself 

    into 
    wall. 


    How 
    could 
    a thing 
    sush 
    as 
    this 
    ever 
    happen. 

    All 
    the 
    community 
    said 
    it 
    was 
    shame. 

    He 
    was 
    good 
    man,he was 

    clean 
    man 
    yeah, 

    That's 
    what 
    he 
    was 

    good 
    and 
    clean 
    man 

    And 
    his 
    landlady 
    said 
    he 
    was 
    an 

    exemplary 
    tenant. 

    They're 
    always 
    nice 
    and 
    quiet 

    when 
    they're 
    all 
    alone 

    At 
    his 
    age. 


    The 
    young 
    man 
    sat, 

    on 
    a small 
    woven 
    mat. 

    While 
    the 
    silken 
    smoke 
    it 

    cirlcled over 
    head. 

    The 
    cigarettes 
    were 
    there 
    to 
    prove 

    he 
    didn't 
    care 

    ¡®Bout the 
    contents 
    of 
    the 

    telegram 
    he'd 
    just 
    read. 

    Father, 
    father, 
    father. 

    You 
    always 
    seemed 
    to 
    be 
    so 
    out 
    of 
    reach. 

    And 
    the 
    psy
    chedelyc sign 

    read: peace. 

    Apartment 
    in 
    New 
    York, 

    girl 
    closes 
    the 
    door, 

    And 
    leans 
    against 
    it 
    with 
    her 

    head 
    bowed 
    low. 

    Thoughts 
    raced 
    through 
    her 
    mind 

    Of 
    when 
    she 
    was 
    child. 

    Raised 
    warmly 
    by 
    man 

    she 
    didn't 
    know. 

    Father, 
    father, 
    father. 

    She 
    wished 
    she 
    had 
    phoned 

    him 
    yester
    day 

    There 
    were 
    so 
    many 
    thing
    s she 
    had 
    to 

    say 

    Henry, 
    the 
    check 
    is 
    in my 
    hands 

    Brought 
    by 
    the 
    insurance 
    man 

    to 
    cover 
    all 
    my 
    plans 

    We'll 
    have 
    flowers, 

    your 
    broker 
    will be 
    there 

    And 
    Sarah, 
    if she 
    cares, 

    and 
    our 
    boy 
    with 
    all his 
    hair 

    And 
    the 
    sun 
    rose,and the 
    sunset 

    As 
    it 
    always 
    has, 

    And 
    people 
    yet 
    unknown, 

    were 
    busy 
    being 
    born, 

    And time 
    when 
    past.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
