Verse 1
G

See the

ruin on the hill,
C
Am

where the smoke is hanging still,
D

like an echo of an age long
G

forgotten.

There's a story of a home crushed
C
Am

beneath those blackened stones
D

and the roof that fell
C
D

before the beams were rotten.
G

Cecil Darby loved his wife
C
Am

and he labored all his life
D

to provide her with material possession.
G

And he built for her a home
C
Am

of the finest wood and stone
D
C

and the building soon became
D

his sole obsession.
C
D

Oh, it took three hundred days
G

for the timbers to be raised,
C

and the silhouette was
G
D

seen for miles around.
G

And the gables reached as high
C
Am

as the eagles in the sky,
A
D
C

but it only took one night
D

to bring it down,

when Darby's castle tumbled to
G
C
Am
D

the ground.

Oh, they shared a common bed,
C
B

there was precious little Sid
Am
D

In the moments that were set
G

aside for sleepin'

For his busy dreams were filled
C

with the rooms he'd yet to build
Am
D

And he never heard young
C
D

El len Darby weepin'.
G

Then one night he heard a sound
C

as he laid his pencil down
Am
D

And he traced it to her door
G

and turned the handle.

In the pale light of the moon
C

through the window of the room
Am
D

Split the shadows
C
D

where two bodies lay entangled.
C
D

Oh, it took three hundred days
G

for the timbers to be raised
C
G
D

And so it was seen for miles around
G

And the gables reached as high
C

as the eagles in the sky

When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground

  • 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.
