  • Verse 1
    Of 
    war 
    and 
    peace 
    the 
    truth 
    just 
    twists, 

    its 
    curfew 
    gull 
    it 
    glides 

    Upon 
    four 
    legged 
    forest 
    clouds 

    the 
    cowboy 
    angel 
    rides 

    With 
    his 
    candle 
    lit 
    in
    to 
    the sun 

    though it's 
    glow 
    is 
    waxed 
    in 
    black 

    All 
    except 
    beneath 
    the trees 
    of 
    Eden 

    Verse 2

    The 
    lamp 
    post 
    stands 
    with 
    folded 

    arms 
    its 
    iron 
    claws 
    attached 

    To 
    curbs 
    'neath 
    holes 

    where 
    babies 
    wail 

    Through 
    its shadow's 
    metal 
    badge 

    All 
    in all 
    can 
    only 
    fall 
    with 
    a crashing 

    but 
    meaningless 
    blow 

    No 
    sound 
    ever 
    comes 
    from 

    Verse 3
    the Gates 
    of 
    Eden 


    The 
    savage 
    soldier 
    sticks 
    his 
    head 

    in the 
    sand 
    and 
    then 
    com
    plains 

    Unto 
    the shoeless 
    hunter 
    who's 

    gone 
    deaf 
    but 
    still 
    re
    mains 

    Upon 
    the beach 
    where 
    hound 
    dogs 
    bay 

    at ships 
    with 
    tattooed 
    sails 

    Heading 
    for 
    the Gates 
    of 
    Eden 

    Verse 4

    The 
    time 
    rusted 
    compass 
    blade, 

    Alad
    din 
    and 
    his 
    lamp 

    Sits 
    with 
    Utopian 
    hermit 
    monks, 

    side 
    saddle 
    on 
    the Golden 
    Calf 

    And 
    on 
    their 
    promises 
    of 
    paradise 

    you 
    will 
    not 
    hear 
    laugh 

    All 
    except 
    inside 
    the Gates 

    of 
    Eden 

    Verse 5

    Relationships 
    of 
    ownership 

    they 
    whisper 
    in 
    the 
    wings 

    To 
    those 
    condemned 
    to act 
    accordingly 

    and 
    wait 
    for 
    succeeding 
    king

    And 
    I try 
    to 
    harmon
    ize 
    with songs 
    the 

    lonesome 
    sparrow 
    sing

    There 
    are 
    no 
    kings 
    inside 

    the Gates 
    of 
    Eden 

    Verse 6
    The 
    motorcycle 
    'Black 
    Madonna', two- 

    wheeled 
    gypsy 
    queen 

    And 
    her silver- 
    studded 
    phantom 
    cause 

    the 
    gray 
    flannel 
    dwarf 
    to scream 

    As 
    he 
    weeps 
    to 
    wicked 
    birds 
    of 
    prey, 

    pick 
    up 
    on his 
    bread 
    crumb 
    sin

    And there 
    are 
    no 
    sins 
    inside 

    Verse 7
    the Gates 
    of Eden 


    The 
    kingdoms 
    of 
    experience 
    in 

    the 
    precious 
    winds 
    they 
    rot 

    While 
    paupers 
    change 
    posses
    sions 

    Each 
    one 
    wish
    ing 
    for what 

    the 
    other 
    has 
    got 

    And the 
    princess 
    and 
    the prince 
    discuss 

    what's 
    real 
    and 
    what's 
    not 

    It 
    doesn't 
    matter 
    inside 

    Verse 8
    the Gates 
    of 
    Eden 


    The foreign 
    sun 
    it 
    squints 
    upon 

    bed 
    that 
    is 
    never 
    mine 

    As 
    friends 
    and 
    others, 

    strangers 
    from 
    their 
    fates 
    try 
    to 
    resign 

    Leaving 
    men 
    holy 
    and 
    totally 
    free 
    to do 

    any
    thing 
    they wish 
    to 
    do 
    but die 

    And 
    there 
    are 
    no 
    trials 

    Verse 9
    inside 
    the Gates 
    of 
    Eden 


    At 
    dawn 
    my 
    lover 
    comes 
    to me 

    and 
    tells 
    me 
    of 
    her dream

    With 
    no 
    attempts 
    to 
    shovel 
    the glimpse 

    Into 
    the 
    ditch 
    of 
    what each 
    one 
    means 

    At 
    times 
    think 
    there 
    are 
    no 
    words 

    but 
    these 
    to tell 
    what's 
    true 

    And 
    there 
    are 
    no 
    truths 
    outside 

    Outro 1
    the Gates 
    of 
    Eden

    • 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.
