    April 
    Verse 1
    sun 
    on 

    Slapton 

    Lea 

    Between 
    the 
    lagoon 
    and the 
    haunted 
    sea 

    was thinking of 
    war 
    and cruelty 

    When 
    spring
    s first 
    swallow, 
    split the sky 

    And 
    I was 
    lifted above 
    all 
    care 

    As 
    the swallow swun

    g through 
    the 
    salted air 

    I've 
    come from 
    savan

    nah and 
    desert and 
    sea 

    To 
    mark 
    an
    other year 
    for 
    me 

    sailor's tattoo 
    like 
    a prayer on my 
    arm 

    To 
    bring me 
    home and 
    safe from 
    harm 

    Though 
    rocks may 
    melt and 

    sea
    s may 
    burn, 

    Dark, 
    swift, and 
    bright swallows 

    shall 
    always 
    re
    turn. 

    Bright 
    swal
    low, 

    sweet spirit of 
    stockyard 
    and barn, 

    You 
    lighten 
    our days 
    with 

    all of your 
    charm. 

    Bring 
    hope to 
    the sailor 
    upon 
    the wide 
    sea, 

    And 
    mark 
    another 
    year 
    for 
    me. 

    Interlude 1



    Scream 
    through 
    the city 
    dusk 
    Verse 2

    Late 
    to come 
    and 
    first 
    to leave 

    But come 
    they do 
    leave 
    they 
    must 

    Hot 

    August 
    nights 
    their 
    absence grieve 

    How 
    we 
    miss their 
    impudent 
    glee 

    This 
    devil's 
    bitch, 
    this mystery 

    This 
    sprite that 
    sleeps upon 
    the 
    breeze 

    Of 
    flies and 
    thieves 
    be
    hind the 

    storm 

    April 
    sun 
    on 

    Slapton 

    Lea 

    Between 
    the 
    la
    goon and 

    the 
    haunted sea 

    I was 
    think
    ing of 
    war 
    and 
    cruelty 

    When 
    spring
    s first 
    swallow, 
    split the 
    sky 

    And 
    I was 
    lifted above 
    all 
    care 

    As 
    the swallow swun

    g through 
    the 
    salted air

    To 
    come from 
    savan

    nah and 
    desert and 
    sea 

    To 
    mark 
    an
    other year 
    for 
    me 

    And 
    for 
    you my 
    love and 
    eternity 

    you

    • 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.
