    Verse 1
    With 
    a mid
    night 

    sky 
    and 
    your 
    big 
    brown 
    eyes 

    Did 
    you stumble 
    on 
    a pearl? 

    Wake 
    me 
    from 
    a thousand 
    meter 
    stare 

    With 
    halo 
    hanging 
    just 
    a little 
    too 
    heavy 

    and 
    an
    other 
    evening's 
    curls 

    Mixed 
    up 
    with 
    the morning 
    and 
    your 
    hair 

    Like 
    a country 
    girl 
    who came 

    across 
    a cat 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    Like 
    a country 
    girl 
    you 

    played 
    it 
    true 
    to form 

    Gonna 
    lay 
    a little 
    pity 
    on 
    a prodigal 
    son 

    who 
    parted 
    with 
    his 
    name 

    A little 
    shelter 
    for 
    a stray 
    out 
    in 
    a storm 

    Verse 2

    You 
    can try 
    to put 
    the pas
    behind 

    It's 
    on 
    your 
    clothes 
    like 
    burning 
    pine 

    Is 
    it 
    gin 
    or 
    tur
    pentine 
    you 

    keep 
    in 
    your 
    canteen? 

    If 
    pres
    sure 
    makes 
    a dia
    mond 
    babe, 

    still 
    might 
    come 
    out 
    clean 

    Verse 3

    In 
    the sim
    ple 
    solit
    ary 
    joy 

    of 
    temporary 
    com
    fort 

    Well, 
    closed 
    my 
    eyes 
    and 
    felt 
    I'd 
    slept 

    hundred- 
    thousand 
    years 

    Awak
    ing 
    would 
    disregard 
    the term

    s of 
    my 
    surrender

    Took 
    every 
    bad 
    fork 
    in 
    the 
    road 
    and 

    look 
    who's 
    standing 
    here 

    We 
    were 
    vic
    tims 
    of 
    etern
    al 
    love 

    for 
    al
    most 
    half 
    a morn
    ing 

    Said 
    I know 
    you 
    can't 
    go 
    home 

    again 
    but tell 
    me 
    where 
    you 
    land 

    Oh, 
    here's 
    to yet 
    another 
    chance 

    you 
    get 
    to 
    be 
    re
    born 

    And 
    here's 
    to greener, 

    higher 
    hills 
    to 
    make 
    your 
    final 
    stand 

    Verse 4
    You 
    can 
    try 
    to 
    put 
    the pas
    behind 

    It's 
    on

    own 
    power 

    Verse 6

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      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.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
