    Verse 1
    Saw 
    an eagle 
    on 
    a 
    pole, 

    I 
    think 
    it was 
    an eagle. 

    Watched 
    it
    s' shadow 
    fly 

    'cross 
    the 
    cement. 

    And I 
    woke up 
    in 
    the snow, 

    All 
    the trees, 
    and crowds, 
    and people. 

    No 
    shirt, 
    no shoes, 
    no 
    idea 
    where 
    they went. 

    Verse 2

    I 
    followed 
    the 
    fenceline thin, 

    Back 
    where the yard 
    begin
    s 

    My 
    wo
    man, 
    she 
    stood 
    crying 
    like a man. 

    Said, 
    where have 
    you been? 

    Where 
    have you 
    been? 

    I thought 
    you said 
    that all 

    of that 
    was 
    done. 

    El Cielo 
    es 
    azul, 

    Just 
    don't 
    go 
    telling 
    everyone 

    Verse 3
    Thought 
    the 
    kettle 
    was 
    a train. 

    Thought 
    that 
    Monday 
    was 
    a door-frame. 

    Tried 
    Tried 
    so 
    hard 
    to 
    fi

    nally 
    settle 
    down. 

    Heard the fire 
    pop 
    and snap. 

    Like a tack 
    piano 
    rag. 

    I 
    nev
    er could 
    get used 
    to happy 

    sound
    s. 

    Verse 4
    Yeah, I hope 
    the 
    world's 
    exposed. 

    A cruel 
    and elab
    orate 
    hoax. 

    It con
    vinces 
    me to walk 
    without 

    a cane. 

    But what can 
    you do? 

    Child, 
    what can 
    you 
    do? 

    I 
    al
    ways 
    heard 
    that 
    what 

    is 
    done 
    is 
    done. 

    El Cielo 
    es 
    azul, 

    Just 
    don't 
    go 
    telling 
    everyone 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    The 
    pas

    t 
    don't ever 
    quit. 

    There's 
    boxes 
    in 
    the 
    at
    tic. 

    Baby 
    shoes 
    and 
    taxidermy 
    dream. 

    While the 
    ashes 
    of 
    the dead, 

    like a dan
    delion 
    head, 

    Ex
    plode 
    and 
    then 
    are scattered 

    by 
    the 
    breeze. 

    We're 
    such 
    a long 
    way 
    back 
    to 

    all the fun 
    that 
    we 
    had. 

    When 
    nothing 
    ever seemed 

    to bother 
    me. 

    But what can 
    you do? 

    Brother
    , 
    what can 
    you 
    do? 

    Sleep 
    with the stars, 

    and 
    toil 
    in 
    the 
    sun
    . 

    Verse 6
    El Cielo 
    es 
    azul, 

    Just 
    don't go 
    telling 
    everyone 

    El Cielo 
    es 
    azul, 

    Just 
    don't 
    go 
    telling 
    everyone

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
