    Verse 1
    Arthur 
    was 
    born 

    just 
    a plain 
    simple 
    man 

    In 
    a plain 
    simple 
    working 

    class 
    po
    sition 

    Though 
    the world 
    was 
    hard 

    and 
    its 
    ways 
    were set 

    He was 
    young 
    and 
    he 

    had so 
    much 
    am
    bition 

    All 
    the 
    way he 
    was 
    overtaken 

    By the 
    people 
    who 
    make 

    the 
    big 
    de
    cisions 

    But 
    he 
    tried 
    and 
    he tried 
    for 
    better 
    life 

    And 
    a way 
    to 
    improve 
    his 
    own 
    con
    dition 

    If 
    only 
    life 
    were 
    easy 
    it 
    would 

    be 
    such 
    fun 

    Things 
    would 
    be 
    more 
    equal 
    and 
    be 

    plenty 
    for 
    every
    one 

    Arthur 
    the 
    world's 
    gone 

    and 
    passed 
    you 
    by 

    Don't 
    you 
    know 
    it, 
    don't 
    you 
    know 
    it 

    You 
    can 
    cry, 
    cry 
    all 
    night 
    but 
    it 

    won't 
    make 
    it 
    right 

    Don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it, 
    don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it 

    Verse 2
    Arthur 
    we 
    know 
    and 
    we 
    sympathize 

    Don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it, 
    don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it 

    Arthur 
    we 
    like 
    you 
    and 
    want

    help 
    you 

    Somebody

    you 
    don't 

    you 
    know 
    it 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    How 
    is your 
    life 
    and your 
    Shangri-la 

    And 
    And 
    your 
    long 
    lost 
    land 
    of 
    Halle
    lujah 

    And 
    your 
    hope 
    and 
    glory 

    has 
    passed 
    you 
    by 

    Can't 
    you see

    doing 
    to 
    ya 

    And 
    now 
    we see 
    your 
    children 

    Sailing 
    off 
    in 
    the setting 
    sun 

    To 
    new 
    horizon 

    Where 
    there's 
    plenty 
    for 

    every
    one 

    Arthur, 
    could 
    be 

    That

    Don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it, 
    don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it 

    Arthur, 
    could 
    be 

    You 
    were 
    right 
    all 
    along 

    Don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it, 
    hope 
    ya know 
    it 

    Now 
    we 
    know 
    and 
    we 
    sympathize 

    We'd 
    like 
    to 
    help 
    you 
    and 

    understand 
    you 

    Don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it, 

    don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it 

    Somebody 
    loves 
    you, don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it 

    Don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it, 

    don't 
    ya 
    know 
    it

      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 a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      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.
