    Verse 1
    My first 
    recollection 

    is 
    a 
    day 
    in 
    December 

    Black 
    iron 
    steam 
    engine 
    covered 
    in 
    ice 

    Like 
    some 
    Precambrian monster 

    Moaning 
    an
    d 
    snorting 

    Nothing 
    was 
    ever 
    going 
    to beat 
    that 
    beast 

    In 
    a fair 
    fight 

    Verse 2

    I've sat 
    and watched 
    the 
    woodpiles 

    Grow 
    through 
    the 
    sum
    mer 

    Now 
    I'm 
    sit
    ting, 

    smelling 
    summer 
    burn 
    through 
    the fall 

    Winter's 
    coming 
    on, 
    days 
    getting 
    dreary 

    And 
    I'm 
    think
    ing 
    this 
    is the season 

    That I 
    leave 
    you 
    all 

    Verse 3
    I've 
    heard 
    a man 
    in 
    crisis 

    Falls 
    back 
    on 
    what 
    he knows 
    best, 

    A mur
    derer 
    to murder 

    A thief 
    to 
    theft 

    And 
    I 
    don't 
    want 
    you to 
    think 

    That 
    this 
    is some 
    kind 
    of 

    deathbed 
    con
    fession 

    But 
    run 
    is 
    what 
    I 
    did when 
    put

    the test 



    Verse 4
    My first 
    recollection 
    is 
    a day 

    in 
    December 

    747 tracing 
    lines 
    through 
    the 
    sky 

    Like 
    some 
    old 
    gypsy 
    curse 

    Silently 
    preying 
    upon 

    the 
    dreams 
    of 
    those 

    Who 
    jealously 
    watch 
    life 
    pass 
    by 

    Verse 5

    I've sat 
    and watched 
    my troubles 

    Pile 
    through 
    the sum
    mer 

    Now 
    I'm 
    sit
    ting, 

    hearing 
    my 
    youngest 
    cry 

    Down 
    the 
    hall 

    Winter's 
    coming 
    on, 
    days 
    getting 
    dreary 

    And 
    I'm 
    think
    ing 
    this is 
    the season 

    That 
    I 
    leave you all 

    Verse 6
    I've 
    heard 
    that 
    the son 

    must 
    bear 

    The burdens 
    of 
    the 
    father 

    But 
    it's 
    the 
    daughter 
    that is 
    left 

    To clean 
    up 
    the mess 

    And 
    I 
    don't 
    want 
    you to 
    think 

    That 
    I'm 
    asking 
    for 
    absolu
    tion, 

    But 
    run 
    is 
    what 
    I 
    did when put 
    to

      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.
