    Five 
    roads 
    led 
    from 
    Central 
    Square, 

    but 
    only 
    one 
    led 
    home. 

    While 
    down 
    the 
    other 
    four, 

    there 
    lay 
    a world 
    I'd 
    never 
    known. 

    I saw 
    three 
    stars 
    amon
    g 
    the clouds 
    - a 
    good 
    sign, 

    some 
    might 
    say. 

    I saw 
    the road 
    that 
    led 
    to home, 

    but 
    I 
    took 
    an
    other 
    way. 

    I met 
    the girl 
    I 
    came 
    to love 
    one 

    night 
    in 
    Central 
    Square. 

    I loved 
    the 
    way 
    she sang 
    her 

    song; I 
    loved 
    her 
    auburn 
    hair. 

    I heard 
    her 
    sing 
    The 
    Water 
    Is 
    Wide 

    and 
    Johnny's 
    Gone 
    to Sea 

    And 
    Spanish 
    Is 
    the Lov
    ing 
    Tongue, 

    while 
    she 
    looked 
    right 
    at 
    me. 

    I 
    took 
    her 
    home 
    with 
    me 
    that 

    night; I carried 
    her 
    gui
    tar. 

    I gave 
    to 
    her 
    my 
    only 
    bed 

    while 
    I 
    lay 
    on 
    the floor. 

    She 
    kissed 
    me 
    when 
    she 
    went 
    to bed; 

    I lay 
    awake 
    past 
    three, 

    And 
    I 
    was 
    nearly 
    sleeping 
    when 
    I 
    heard 
    her 
    call 

    to me. 



    We 
    lived 
    togeth
    er 
    all 
    that 

    year 
    until 
    we 
    drew 
    apart. 

    For 
    I 
    was 
    younger 
    than 
    my 
    years 

    and 
    did 
    not 
    know 
    my 
    heart. 

    I sang 
    along 
    with 
    her 
    one 

    night 
    in 
    quiet 
    harmony, 

    Un
    til 
    I 
    realized 
    this 
    song 

    was 
    her 
    farewell 
    to me. 

    I 
    made 
    the 
    worst 
    mistake 
    of all; 

    I 
    turned 
    and 
    left 
    her 
    there. 

    And 
    winter 
    had 
    come 
    in 
    when 
    I 

    stepped 
    out 
    in 
    Central 
    Square. 

    I saw 
    three 
    stars 
    amon
    g 
    the clouds 
    - a 
    good 
    sign, 

    some 
    might 
    say. 

    I 
    saw 
    the 
    road 
    that 
    led 
    to home, 

    but I 
    took 
    an
    other 
    way. 

    I 
    saw 
    the 
    road 
    that 
    led 
    to home, 

    but

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
