  • Verse 1
    Past 
    the ivy-covered 
    windows 

    windows 
    of the 
    angel 

    Down 
    Athenaeum 
    Lane 

    to 
    the 
    cathed
    ral 

    Through 
    the churchyard 
    wandered 

    Sat 
    for a 
    spell 
    there 
    and 
    pondered 

    My 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    gates 

    My 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    gates 

    My 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    gates 
    of 

    the 
    garden 

    Verse 2

    Fugitive 
    fathers, 
    sickly 
    infants, 

    decent 
    mothers 

    Runaways 
    and suicidal 
    lovers 

    Assorted 
    boxes 
    of ordinary 
    bones 

    Of aborted 
    plans 
    and 
    sudden 

    shattered 
    hopes 

    In unlucky 
    rows 

    In 
    unhappy 
    rows 

    In 
    unlucky 
    rows, 

    up 
    to 
    the 
    gates 
    of 
    the 
    garden 

    Won't 
    you 
    Verse 3
    meet 
    me 
    at 
    the 
    gates 

    Won't 
    you meet 
    me 
    at 
    the 
    gates 

    Won't 
    you meet 
    me 
    at 
    the gates 

    To 
    the garden 

    Verse 4

    Beneath 
    the creeping 
    shadow 
    of the tower 

    The 
    bell 
    from St. 
    Edmunds 

    informs 
    me 
    of the 
    hour 

    turn 
    to find 
    you 
    waiting 
    there 
    for 
    me 

    In 
    sunlight 
    and I 
    see 
    the 

    way 
    that 
    you 
    breathe 

    All 
    alive 
    and 
    leaning 

    Alive 
    and 
    leaning 

    Alive 
    and leaning, 

    leaning 
    on 
    the gates 
    to 
    the 
    garden 

    Verse 5

    Leave 
    these ancient 
    places 
    to 
    the angels 

    Let 
    the saints 
    attend 
    to their 

    keeping 
    of 
    the 
    cathedrals 

    And 
    leave 
    the dead 
    beneath 

    the ground 
    so 
    cold 

    For God 
    is in 
    this hand 
    that 
    hold 

    As 
    we 
    open 
    up the 
    gates 

    As 
    we 
    open 
    up the 
    gates 

    We 
    open 
    up the 
    gates 
    to 

    the 
    garden 

    Verse 6
    Won't 
    you 
    meet 
    me 
    at 
    the 
    gates 

    Won't 
    you 
    meet 
    me 
    at 
    the 
    gates 

    Won't 
    you meet 
    me 
    at 
    the gates 

    to 
    the 
    garden

    • 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.
