When the snow peels thaw and the streambeds crawl to the waterfall and

the river I'll turn my face to the bright green space of the mother and my di ver
D
G

No man has made a ring of jade

like green corn in the husk
Em
D
G

No man could own a turquoise
D
Em

stone as deep blue as the dusk

So come away from your workin' day
D
Em

and laugh and let your head go
D

Bring along an old -time song for dancin'

in the meadow
D

Leave your bedside for a moonlight ride
D
Em

where the midnight air is warmer

We'll sink with the quail and the cottontail,
D
Em

this tale escapes the farmer.
D
G

Deep plump thicket in the bramble bush
D

where the quiet creatures hide
Em

Are part of me a mystery
G
D

which I accept with pride.

If I must stay it'll lay all day like a
D

marcher in the hedgerow

When the hunter's gone it's all night long for

When the summer's over and come

October
D
Em

And the evening air is crisper

In the mist and smoke by the twisted oak
D
Em

I listen to the branches whisper
D
G

Barn dancers reel, the furrowed field
D

Must yield and quickly turn
Em
D
G

Harp is gone, the whodell song
D
Em

is one we now must learn

Who, who, who are you?
D
Em

If it's you who said so

Who could it be?

It's only me,
D
Em
D
Em
D

I'm dancing in the meadow
Em

When the seasons pass and the hourglass
D

has all too quickly shattered
Em

You'll lay me low beneath the
D
Em

snow and wonder if I mattered
D

Late in the night,
Em

your hair gone white will surely stand on end
D

You'll hear me sing my banjo,
Em

ring the voice of your old friend

If you get brave,
D

run to my grave and holler,
Em

Are you dead?

No, no tooth don't can cover my bones
D

I'm dancing in the meadow!

  • 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.
