Birmingham
Esus4
Em
Just behind the mountain
Sparse streetlamps glow in
hot half-moon haze
Esus4
Em
Esus4

haze
Esus4
Em
Shadows shorten into little black pools
Esus4
Em
that elongate behind
Esus4
We walk, talk some,
Em
Esus4

Esus4
laugh some
Em
Esus4
Em
Worked hard, now wired,
and hanging out
Esus4
Em
I'm curious what
you might be all about
Curious, too, what that dark-shape in in the
Esus4
Em
hard shining cruiser might do
And you have no idea what you're getting
Out of of your own curiosity and
Esus4
Em
tense energy
Tattoo on chest like the key to the puzzle
of your pumping heart
Wearing your shadows all over
Esus4
Em
your sleeve
D
Esus4
Em
Wearing the role of young up start

Verse 3
Em
Under velvet trees,
towering like the sides of a well
Esus4
Em
Before the empty two office blocks
D
Which we're admonished
Em
not to enter
Policeman studies us,
Esus4
finds us confusing
Em
More amusing than threat
Esus4
Em
Moves on,
A
Esus4
Em
bemused
Pavement spirals down ahead like
Esus4
the fossil of a giant shell
Em
Along the kingdom's midnight marches
Esus4
Em
Esus4
Em
I wear my shadows
where they're harder to see
Bm
But they follow me everywhere
Em
I guess that should tell me that I'm travelling
Bm
Esus4
Em
toward light
G
I guess something you sang made
Em
me remember that
Interlude 2
I guess I'm saying thanks for that

and

At home in the darkness,

it's easy to forgive
Can't make assumptions about
A
Em
any of this
We're nomads following
D

our own song lines
Who knows what could strike
Em
before we meet again?
But if I fall down and die
Without saying goodbye
Esus4
Em
I give you this, you'll have lost a friend

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.”
