    • Verse 1
    See 
    the 
    ruins 
    on 
    the 
    hill 
    where 

    the smoke 
    is 
    hanging 
    still 

    Like 
    an 
    echo 
    of 
    an 
    age 

    long 
    for
    gotten 

    There's 
    a 
    story 
    of 
    a 
    home 
    crushed 
    be

    neath 
    those 
    blackened 
    stones 

    And 
    the 
    roof 
    that 
    fell 
    be
    fore 

    the 
    beams 
    were 
    rotten 

    Cecil 
    Darby 
    loved 
    his 
    wife 
    and 

    he 
    labored 
    all 
    his 
    life 

    To 
    provide 
    her 
    with 
    material 
    posses
    sions 

    Verse 2
    And 
    he 
    built 
    for 
    her 
    a 
    home 
    of 

    the finest 
    wood 
    and 
    stone 

    And 
    the 
    building 
    soon 
    be

    came 
    his 
    sole 
    obses
    sion 

    Oh 
    it 
    took 
    three 
    hundred 
    days 

    for 
    the 
    timbers 
    to 
    be 
    raised 

    And 
    the silhouette 
    was seen 

    for 
    miles 
    around 

    And 
    the 
    gables 
    reached 
    as 
    high 

    as 
    the 
    eagles 
    in 
    the sky 

    But 
    it 
    only 
    took 
    one 
    night 
    to 
    bring 
    it 
    down 

    When 
    Darby's 
    castle 
    tumbled 

    to 
    the 
    ground 

    Verse 3

    Though 
    they 
    shared 
    the 
    common 

    bed 
    there 
    was 
    precious 
    little 
    said 

    In 
    the 
    moments 
    that 
    were 

    set 
    aside 
    for 
    sleep
    ing 

    For 
    his 
    busy 
    dreams 
    were 
    filled 
    with 

    the 
    rooms 
    he'd 
    yet 
    to 
    build 

    And 
    he 
    never 
    heard 
    young 

    Helen 
    Darby 
    weeping 

    Then 
    one 
    night 
    he 
    heard 
    the sound 
    an

    d as 
    he 
    laid 
    his pencil 
    down 

    He traced 
    it 
    to 
    her 
    door 
    and turned 

    the handle 

    And the pale 
    light 
    of 
    the 
    moon 
    through 

    the window 
    of 
    her 
    room 

    Split 
    the shad
    ows 
    where 

    two 
    bodies 
    lay 
    in 
    tangle 

    Oh 
    it 
    took 
    three 
    hundred 
    days

      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.
