Verse 1
G
When I see birches bent to left and right across
F
G
the lines of straighter, darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging
them.
But swinging doesn't bend
D
them down to stay as ice storms do.
G
Often you must have seen them loaded with
ice a sunny winter morning after a rain.
They click upon themselves as the
Em
G
G
breeze rises an d turn many -colored
as the stir cracks and crazes
their enamel.
Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells,
shattering and avalanching on the
snow crust.
Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away,
you'd think the inner dome of
heaven had fallen.
E
Em
They are dragged to the withered bracken by
F
the load, and they seem
not to break.
G
Though once they are bowed so low for long,
they never right themselves.
You may see their trunks arching in the woods years afterward,
F
trailing their leaves on
G
F#
the ground like girls on hands and knees that throw
F
G
their hair before them over their heads
to dry in the sun.
But I was going to say,
F
when truth broke in with all her matter of
G
fact about the ice storm, I should prefer to have
Am
F
had some boy bend them as he went
G
out or in to fetch the cows,
some boy too far from town to learn baseball, whose only
play was what he found himself summer or
F
G
winter and could play alone.
One by one he subdued
F
his father's trees by riding them down
G
over and over again until he took the stiffness
out of them and not one but hung limp,
not one was left for him to conquer.
Bm
He learned
Am
A
all there was to learn about not launching out
F
G
too soon and so not carrying the tree
away clear to the ground.
He always kept his poise to the top branches,
climbing carefully,
A
Am
with the same pains you used to fill a cup up to
F
the brim and even above the brim.
Then
G
he flung outward, feet first with a swish,
E
kicking his way down through the air to the
G
ground.
A
G
So was I once myself a swinger of birches,
and so I dream of going back to be.
It's
A
G
when I'm weary of considerations and life is too much
like a pathless wood where your
F
G
face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken
across it and one eye is weeping from the
Am
twigs having lashed across it open. I'd like to get
G
Am
away from earth a while and then
G
come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand
F
me and half grant
G
what I wish and snatch me away not to return earth's
Em
the right place for love. I don't
G
know where it's likely to go better. I'd like to go by
G
climbing a birch tree and climb
black branches up a snow -white trunk toward
heaven till the tree could bear no more but
dipped its top and set me down
again.
F#m
That would be good both going
G
and coming back.
G
that one could do worse than
D
be a swinger of virtues.

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
