    Backwater

    We're sailing at the edges of time

    Backwater
    G

    We're drifting at the waterline

    Verse 2

    Black water

    There were six of us but

    now we are five

    We're all talking
    G

    To keep the conversation alive
    D
    C
    G

    There was a senator from Ecuador
    C
    G

    Who talked about a meteor
    F#m
    D

    That crashed on a hill in
    F#m
    D

    the south of Peru
    C
    G

    And was found by a conquistador
    C
    G

    Who took it to the emperor
    F#m
    D
    F#m
    D

    And he passed it on to a Turkish guru
    Verse 3
    D

    His daughter
    G
    D

    Was slated for becoming divine

    He taught her

    He taught her how to split and define
    C
    G

    But if you study the logistics
    C
    G

    And heuristics of the mystics
    F#m
    D

    You will find that their minds
    F#m

    rarely move in a line
    D
    C
    G

    So it's much more realistic
    C
    G

    To abandon such ballistics

    • 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.
