I feel the trembling tingle
Am

of a sleepless night

Creep through my fingers

and the moon is bright

Beams of blue come flickering
Am

through my window pane

Like gypsy moths
G

that dance around a candle flame

Am

And I wonder if you know

That I never understood

That although you said you'd go

Until you did

I never thought you would

Verse 2
G

Moonlight used to bathe
Am

the contours of your face
C
D

While chestnut hair
G

fell all around the pillow case

And the fragrance of your flowers
Am

rest beneath my head
C
D

A sympathy bouquet
G

left with the love that's dead

Am

And I wonder if you know

just what you meant

Verse 3
G

Morning comes and morning goes
Am

with no regret

And evening brings

the memories I can't forget

Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
C

And empty clothes that drape
G

and fall on empty chairs
Chorus 3
Am

And I wonder if you know
D

That I never understood

That although you said you'd go

Until you did

  • 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.
