    Verse 1
    See 
    the 

    ruin 
    on 
    the hill, 

    where 
    the 
    smoke 
    is 
    hanging 
    still, 

    like 
    an echo 
    of 
    an age 
    long 

    forgot
    ten. 

    There's 
    story 
    of 
    a home 
    crushed 

    beneath 
    those 
    blackened 
    stone

    and 
    the 
    roof 
    that fell 

    before 
    the beams 
    were rot
    ten. 

    Cecil 
    Darby 
    loved 
    his 
    wife 

    and 
    he 
    labored 
    all 
    his 
    life 

    to 
    provide 
    her 
    with 
    material 
    possession. 

    And 
    he built 
    for 
    her 
    a home 

    of 
    the 
    finest 
    wood 
    and stone

    and 
    the 
    building 
    soon 
    became 

    his 
    sole 
    obses
    sion. 

    Oh, 
    it 
    took 
    three 
    hundred 
    days 

    for 
    the tim
    bers 
    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. 


    Oh, 
    they shared 
    a common 
    bed, 

    there 
    was pre
    cious 
    little 
    Sid 

    In 
    the 
    moments 
    that 
    were set 

    aside 
    for 
    sleepin' 

    For 
    his 
    busy 
    dreams 
    were filled 

    with 
    the 
    rooms 
    he'd 
    yet 
    to build 

    And 
    he 
    never 
    heard 
    young 

    El
    len 
    Darby 
    weepin'. 

    Then 
    one 
    night 
    he 
    heard 
    a sound 

    as 
    he 
    laid 
    his 
    pencil 
    down 

    And 
    he 
    traced 
    it 
    to her 
    door 

    and 
    turned 
    the 
    handle. 

    In 
    the 
    pale 
    light 
    of 
    the moon 

    through 
    the 
    window 
    of 
    the room 

    Split 
    the 
    shadows 

    where 
    two bod
    ies 
    lay 
    en
    tangled. 

    Oh, 
    it 
    took 
    three 
    hundred 
    days 

    for 
    the tim
    bers 
    to be 
    raised 

    And 
    so 
    it 
    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 

    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.
