    Verse 1
    Here 
    we 
    stand 

    Like 
    an 
    Adam 
    and 
    an 
    Eve 

    Waterfalls 

    The 
    Garden 
    of 
    Eden 

    Two 
    fools 
    in 
    love 

    So 
    beautiful 
    and 
    strong 

    The 
    birds 
    in 
    the 
    trees 

    Are 
    smiling 
    upon 
    them 

    Pre-chorus 1
    From 
    the 
    age 
    of 
    the 
    dinosaurs 

    Cars 
    have 
    run 
    on 
    gaso
    line 

    Where, 
    where 
    have 
    they 
    gone? 

    Now, 
    it's 
    nothing 
    but 
    flowers 

    Chorus 1
    There 
    was 
    a 
    factory 

    Now 
    there 
    are 
    mountains 
    and 
    rivers 

    You 
    got 
    it, 
    you 
    got 
    it 

    We 
    caught 
    a 
    rattlesnake 

    Now 
    we 
    got 
    something 
    for 
    dinner 

    We 
    got 
    it, 
    we 
    got 
    it 

    Chorus 2
    There 
    was 
    a 
    shopping 
    mall 

    Now 
    it's 
    all 
    covered 
    with 
    flowers 

    You've 
    got 
    it, 
    you've 
    got 
    it 

    If 
    this 
    is 
    paradise 

    I 
    wish 
    I 
    had 
    a 
    lawn
    mower 

    You've 
    got 
    it, 
    you've 
    got 
    it 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    Years 
    ago 

    I 
    was 
    an 
    angry 
    young 
    man 

    And 
    I'd 
    pretend 

    That 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    billboard 

    Standing 
    tall 

    By 
    the 
    side 
    of 
    the 
    road 

    I 
    fell 
    in 
    love 

    With 
    a 
    beautiful 
    highway 

    Pre-chorus 2
    This 
    used 
    to 
    be 
    real 
    estate 

    Now 
    it's 
    only 
    fields 
    and 
    trees 

    Where, 
    where 
    is 
    the 
    town 

    Now, 
    it's 
    nothing 
    but 
    flowers 

    Bridge 1
    The 
    highways 
    and 
    cars 

    Were 
    sacrificed 
    for 
    agriculture 

    I 
    thought 
    that 
    we'd 
    start 
    over 

    But 
    I 
    guess 
    I 
    was 
    wrong 

    Chorus 3
    Once 
    there 
    were 
    parking 
    lots 

    Now 
    it's 
    a 
    peaceful 
    o
    asis 

    You've 
    got 
    it, 
    you've 
    got 
    it 

    This 
    was 
    a 
    Pizza 
    Hut 

    Now 
    it's 
    all 
    covered 
    with 
    daisies 

    You 
    got 
    it, 
    you 
    got 
    it 

    Chorus 4
    I 
    miss 
    the 
    honky 
    tonks, 

    Dairy 
    Queens, 
    and 
    7- 
    Elevens 

    You 
    got 
    it, 
    you 
    got 
    it 

    And 
    as 
    things 
    fell 
    apart 

    Nobody 
    paid 
    much 
    at
    tention 

    You 
    got 
    it, 
    you 
    got 
    it 

    Interlude 2








    Solo 1




    Chorus 5
    [Repeat] 

    I 
    dream 
    of 
    cherry 
    pies, 

    candy 
    bars, 
    and 
    chocolate 
    chip 
    cookies 

    You 
    got 
    it, 
    you 
    got 
    it 

    We 
    used 
    to 
    microwave 

    Now 
    we 
    just 
    eat 
    nuts 
    and 
    berries 

    You 
    got 
    it, 
    you 
    got 
    it 

    This 
    was 
    a 
    discount 
    store, 

    now 
    it's 
    turned 
    into 
    a 
    cornfield 

    You've 
    got 
    it, 
    you've 
    got 
    it 

    Don't 
    leave 
    me 
    stranded 
    here 

    I 
    can't 
    get 
    used 
    to 
    this 
    lifestyle

      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

      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.
