I just had a really bad fall

I shouted to the heavens and a

vision appeared

I cried out "Can you help?",
D
A

it replied "Not at all"

After the fall is over

You'll be on your own

There'll be wrecks to clear

in this war zone

There'll be much to clean

and time to atone

In the bleak midwinter when

You gotta ask the question

Ask yourself why you go through it all

When morality kicks in,
Bm

who will catch you when you fall
D

I'm a sinner waiting at
A

the traveler's rest
Em

Seeking refuge from the storm,
Bm

and I'm a grateful guest
D
A

And a profit cries out in high platitudes
Em

I smile and say, "Hey,

I was just passing through"

And an angel cries, "Wait,
A

we'll tell you when to move"
Em

Even at the gates of Heaven I'll
D

Into the great white blue

And all my imperfections

You can

learn your lines

and fabricate a show

that's the way we're gonna go

We can put on a smile just

the sun will shine again

counts for nothing at all

  • 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.
