    Verse 1
    Fires 
    of 
    the 
    lighthouse 
    burning 
    in 
    the 
    bay 

    Waters 
    of 
    the sound 
    sleep

    ing 
    through 
    the day 

    Ostrich 
    of 
    the night 
    half 

    buried 
    in 
    the sand 

    Nearer 
    comes 
    the man, 

    sickle 
    in 
    hand 

    Battles 
    in 
    the 
    back 
    seat, 

    soap 
    box 
    car 

    Black-bolt 
    lightning 
    light
    ning 
    car--I 

    don't 
    don't 
    care 
    who you 
    are 

    Fires 
    of 
    the 
    lighthouse, 

    sound 
    of 
    the gui
    tar 

    "Things 
    without 
    all the 
    remedy 
    should 
    be 

    without

    Lady 
    Macbeth

    Verse 2
    Death 
    where 
    is 
    thy 
    sting? 

    In 
    the trails 
    of Sun
    fish 
    sails 

    and 
    curve 
    stitch 
    string? 

    Black 
    mass 
    ghosts 
    of 

    half-
    chewed 
    hosts 

    hosts 

    Off 
    the 
    Henlopen 
    coast 

    In the saltwater 
    spring 

    Death: You 
    arrive 
    Verse 3
    washed 

    up 
    in 
    the 
    tide 

    Normally 
    alive 
    with 
    your 
    consolation 
    boot

    s of 
    Spanish 
    inquis
    ition 
    eyes 

    Prancing 
    around 
    the stage 
    at 

    your 
    advan
    cing 
    age 

    Offering 
    stale 
    communion 
    to the 

    presbyters 
    of 
    time? 

    Verse 4
    Cousins 
    on 
    the swing 
    set, 

    rabbits 
    in 
    the 
    grass 

    Is it 
    too 
    much 
    to 
    ask 
    to 

    reproduce 
    the 
    past? 

    Stories 
    of 
    the 
    Ice 
    Boat 
    No.3 wreck 

    kept 
    us 
    warm 

    Sheltered 
    from 
    storm 
    on 
    the 
    ocean 
    floor 

    Verse 5
    And 
    in 
    the 
    morning, 
    we 
    rest 

    in 
    Corinthian 
    he
    address 

    On 
    couches 
    of 
    ivory 

    And 
    wake 
    in 
    the 
    moonlight 

    Like 
    badgers 
    at 
    midnight 

    To 
    friends 
    made 
    in 
    factories 

    somewhere 

    You'll 
    know 
    where 
    to 
    find 
    us, 

    our 
    best 
    years 
    behind 
    us 

    Barefooted 
    pilgrims 

    at shrines 
    of 
    our 
    youth 

    'Our 
    joy 
    was electric, 

    our 
    circles 
    concentric' 

    Converging 
    on 
    statues 
    of 
    permanence 

    Verse 6
    Death 
    where 
    is 
    thy 
    sting? 

    You ought 
    to 
    put 
    more 
    thought 
    into 

    what 
    you 
    bravely 
    sing 

    Aft-mast 
    ships 
    ships 
    of 

    straw-short 
    bricks 

    bricks 

    You'll 
    soon 
    see 
    exactly 
    where 

    my 
    victory 
    is 

    The spring 
    to 
    its 
    slumber 

    Your 
    lighthouses 
    black 

    Like 
    virginal 
    slumber 

    I'll 
    break 
    like the 
    lap 

    Of 
    your 
    Delaware 
    shore 

    Your 
    Blue 
    Hen 
    remains 

    Will 
    dissolve 
    at 
    my 
    door 

    Like 
    teaspoon 
    of 
    salt 
    in 
    the rain 

    Verse 7
    And I'll 
    wrap 
    up 
    your 
    absence 

    In 
    blankets 
    of 
    reverence 

    A mastodon 
    shadow 

    Divided 
    by 
    zero 

    And 
    comfort 
    your 
    fam
    ily 

    With 
    words 
    like 
    eternity 

    And 
    friends 
    made 
    in 
    factories 
    somewhere

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
