    Verse 1
    Me 
    and 
    my 
    brother 

    returned 
    to 
    the 
    water 

    I 
    saw 
    a pike 
    that 
    was 
    two 
    feet 
    long. 

    Two 
    small 
    ma
    gicians, 

    each 
    with 
    a 
    jam 
    jar 

    Cast 
    spells 
    on 
    the 
    water 
    with 

    hazel 
    twig 
    wand
    s. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Country 
    boys 
    catch 
    tadpoles, 

    dive 
    into 
    water 

    Made 
    shy 
    by 
    their 
    laughter, 

    we 
    wandered 
    down 
    stream 

    And 
    summer 
    rolled 
    o'er 
    us 
    with 

    no 
    com
    plications 

    'Cept 
    thinking 
    of 
    Mama 

    sometimes 
    in 
    dreams. 

    Interlude 2

    Stand 
    Verse 3
    by 
    the 
    drawbridge, 

    waiting 
    for 
    barges 

    Waiting 
    around 
    for 

    smiles 
    from 
    the man. 

    Lifting 
    the 
    bridge 
    whilst 

    watching 
    the 
    horses 

    Dragging 
    the slow 
    boats 

    up 
    the 
    canal. 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 4
    I 
    do 
    remember 
    the 
    times 
    but 
    no 
    number 

    After 
    the day, 

    but 
    be
    fore 
    evening 
    comes 

    Waiting 
    for 
    castles 
    and 

    kettles 
    with 
    roses 

    Painted 
    on 
    barges 
    that 

    sailed 
    into 
    the sun. 

    Interlude 4

    Verse 5
    Oh, 
    see 
    the 
    river 
    run, 

    that 
    was 
    by 
    man 
    begun 

    Open 
    the 
    lock
    s, 

    let 
    the 
    boats 
    sail 
    on, 

    Taking 
    their 
    castles 
    and 

    kettles 
    with 
    roses 

    With 
    summers 
    of 
    childhood 

    leav
    ing 
    smiles 
    on 
    the man.

      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

      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 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.
