Verse 1
D

Toward the tail- end of the age

that's almost finished

Where the highway starts to crack

and nobody fixes it

I was wandering through

an undeveloped tract

Out near the ocean

One- hundred acres, we will build to suit
Asus4

See what there is to see before
D
Asus4
D

it's gone

Somebody's always just about
Em

To put some kind of awful

plan in motion
D
Verse 2
G


Eastern red cedars, and the pines

And suddenly an elevated

stone slab
D
G

In what must have been a clearing once

Try to recognize the signals

and the signposts

My curiosity
Em

Will likely always get the best of me

Inched its way on up his body

and I lay down on it

I am a child

I had my face toward the sky

Lying there in the sun with both

my eyes closed

Woke up in near darkness

What the hell is wrong

Volunteer pines in their hundreds in

the dusk like military tentpoles
Verse 6

Let my eyes adjust

Try to read the markings on the slab

Weird alphabets I felt sure I hadn't seen,
D

just before I passed out

Stars growing brighter

Me looking up

Like a lobster in a cage down

Beneath the bot tom of a glass boat

And I heard a voice

From somewhere out beyond the free fall

He's just trying to warn his brothers

  • 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.
