    Verse 1
    I bought 
    the 
    paper 

    yester
    day 
    and 
    I saw 
    the 
    obitu
    ary 

    And 
    I 
    read 
    of 
    how 
    you 
    died 
    in 
    pain 
    - 

    Well 
    I just 
    couldn't 
    understand 
    it 

    If 
    I 
    could 
    of 
    changed 
    that, 

    then 
    Lord 
    knows 
    I'd 
    do 
    it 
    now 

    But 
    there 
    is 
    no 
    going 
    back 
    - 

    And 
    what's 
    done 
    is 
    done 
    forever

    Verse 2
    But 
    you 
    were 
    always 
    chained 
    and 

    shackled 
    by 
    the 
    dirt 
    - 

    Of 
    every 
    small 
    town 
    institution 
    and 
    every 
    big 

    Interlude 1
    town 
    flirt 



    And 
    I think 
    Verse 3
    of 
    what 
    you might 
    have 
    been, 

    a 
    man 
    of such 
    great 
    prom
    ise 

    Oh 
    but, 
    you seem 
    to 
    forget 
    the 
    dream 
    - 

    And 
    the more 
    you saw 
    you 
    hated 

    But 
    let's 
    not 
    talk 
    of 
    blame, 

    for 
    what 
    is 
    only 
    nat
    ural 

    Like 
    a moth 
    going 
    to 
    a 
    flame 
    - 

    You 
    had 
    a 
    dangerous 
    pas
    sion 

    Verse 4
    But 
    you 
    were 
    always 
    chained 

    and 
    shackled 
    by 
    the 
    dirt 
    - 

    Of 
    every 
    small 
    town 
    institution 

    and 
    every 
    big 
    town 
    flirt 

    Verse 5
    All 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    you 
    might 
    have 

    been 
    - but 
    who 
    am 
    I 
    to say? 

    Still 
    I 
    wonder 
    - 

    If 
    it's 
    in 
    the 
    cold 
    earth 

    you 
    prefer 
    to 
    lay 
    - 

    If 
    it's 
    in 
    the 
    cold 
    earth 
    - you 
    prefer 

    Outro 1
    to stay

    • 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.”
