    Five roads led from Central Square,
    D
    G

    but only one led home.
    C
    G

    While down the other four,
    D

    there lay a world I'd never known.
    C
    G
    C

    I saw three stars among the clouds - a good sign,
    D

    some might say.

    I saw the road that led to home,

    I met the girl I came to love one
    D
    G

    night in Central Square.
    C
    G

    I loved the way she sang her
    D

    song; I loved her auburn hair.
    C
    G

    I heard her sing The Water Is Wide
    C
    D

    and Johnny's Gone to Sea
    G
    C
    G

    And Spanish Is the Loving Tongue,
    D

    while she looked right at me.
    C
    G

    I took her home with me that
    D
    G

    night; I carried her guitar.
    C
    G

    I gave to her my only bed
    D

    while I lay on the floor.
    C

    She kissed me when she went to bed;
    G
    C
    D

    I lay awake past three,
    G

    And I was nearly sleeping when I heard her call

    We lived together all that
    D
    G

    year until we drew apart.
    C
    G

    For I was younger than my years
    D

    and did not know my heart.
    C

    I sang along with her one
    G
    C
    D

    night in quiet harmony,
    G

    Until I realized this song

    D

    was her farewell to me.
    C
    G

    I made the worst mistake of all;
    D
    G

    I turned and left her there.
    C
    G

    And winter had come in when I
    D

    stepped out in Central Square.

    • 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.
