  • Verse 1
    D

    You so fleet and youthful must
    G

    have split a thousand apples.
    Bm

    Oh I watched you as you steadied first
    G

    your heart then your breath
    D

    Venturing out you scanned a thou
    G

    sand blades of grass,
    Bm

    And when you drew your bowstring,
    G
    Em

    it was a swift and cordial death.
    Verse 2
    G

    As you stood in the wilderness
    Em

    Did you feel the silence

    in the stillness?
    G
    Verse 3

    D
    F#m

    That was me with you in the forest
    D

    For you knew the balances
    F#m

    The balances before us.
    G
    Bm

    I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek
    Verse 4
    A

    D

    Oh a tree it's a record,
    G

    a home of memories,
    Bm
    G

    And every bird springs from an old master's canvas,

    full in flight.
    D

    And the pond I go to sparkles
    G

    in a vast estuary,
    Bm

    And those men saw nothing staring
    G

    drunken through their sites.
    Verse 5
    Em

    The one who spied me out
    G

    as goods to plunder,
    Em

    I had to show the world that
    G

    he was not a true hunter.
    Verse 6
    D

    That was me,
    F#m

    When he saw me naked,
    D

    He was interrupting,
    F#m

    Something sacred.
    G

    I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek.
    Interlude 1
    Bm
    A


    Verse 7
    D

    And the newsmen circled leaving
    G

    trails of cigarette butts
    Bm
    G

    Machine- like up the hill

    to Crystal Creek.
    D

    "James," she said,
    G

    "who would do this thing I've seen today,
    Bm
    G

    I cannot hold my mic, my hands are shaking,
    Em

    knees are weak."

    "They found a man and he
    G

    was wrapped in a deerskin,
    Em
    G

    Riddled through with boxes of his
    Dsus4

    friends' ammunition.
    Em

    Turn the camera off," she said.
    A
    Verse 8

    D

    That was me.
    F#m

    Oh my noble animals,
    D

    You must act with reverence,
    F#m

    With reverence not like cannibals.
    G

    I was guarding Crystal, Crystal Creek

    • 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.
