  • Verse 1
    Up until 
    one 

    century 
    ago 
    there lived, 

    In 
    the 
    Zi 
    Duang
    provence 

    of eastern 
    country 

    glass-like 
    spider. 

    spider. 

    Having 
    devoured 
    its prey 
    it 
    would drape 

    the skeletons 
    over 
    its web, 

    In weeks 
    cre
    ating 
    macab
    re 

    Shrine 
    of 
    remains 
    Its web 
    was also 
    Verse 2

    unique 
    in that 

    it had many 
    layers, 

    Like 
    floors 
    in a build
    ing 

    Verse 3

    At 
    the top of 
    this palace-like 
    place, place, 

    assembled 
    with 
    al
    most 
    apparent 

    Care, 
    were tiny, 
    shin
    ing 
    objects, 

    glass, 
    beads, 
    dew-drops. 

    One 
    One 
    could almost 
    call 
    it an altar. 

    When the breeze 
    blew 

    through 
    this construction, 

    It 
    produced sounds 
    of 
    wailing, 
    crying. 

    Tiny 
    wails, 
    tiny 
    cries. 

    Verse 4

    The baby 
    spiders 
    would get scared 

    and search 
    frantically 

    For 
    their mother. 

    But the Glass 
    Spider 
    would have long 
    gone, 

    having 
    known 
    that the 
    babies 

    Would survive 
    someone 
    on their 
    own. 

    Oh-The 
    Glass 
    Glass 
    Spider 
    had 
    blue 

    eyes 
    almost 
    like-a human's. 

    human's. 

    They 
    shed 
    tears 
    at 
    the wintered 

    turn 
    of the centuries. 

    Verse 5

    Don't 
    you 
    hear 
    this 
    wasted 
    cry, 

    Life 
    is 
    over 
    you 


    (Mummy come 
    back 
    'cause 
    the 

    water's 
    all 
    gone) 

    But you've 
    seen 
    who's 
    in 
    heav
    en. 

    Is 
    there 
    any
    one 
    in 
    hell 

    (Mummy come 
    back 
    'cause 
    it's 

    dark 
    now) 

    Take 
    care, 
    take 
    care. 


    (Mummy come 
    back 
    'cause 
    the 

    water's 
    all 
    gone) 

    Somewhere 
    she 
    glows 
    divine. 
    Somewhere 

    she 
    wakes 
    alone. 

    But 
    you, 
    you've 
    prom
    ise 
    in 
    your 
    lovin' 

    eye
    God 
    it's 
    dark 
    now. 

    Verse 6
    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 

    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 

    Verse 7
    Gone, 
    Gone 
    the water's 
    all 
    gone 

    Mummy 
    come 
    back 
    'cause 

    the 
    water's 
    all 
    gone 

    Stay 
    low 
    on 
    the ground, 

    fire 
    can 
    drive 
    you, savage 
    and 
    afraid 

    Spitting 
    the 
    dawn, 

    come come 
    come 
    along 
    before 
    the animals 
    awake 

    Run, 
    run, 
    we've 
    been 
    moving 
    all 
    night, 

    rivers 
    to 
    the 
    left. 

    If 
    your 
    mother 
    don't 
    love 
    you then 

    the 
    river
    bed 
    might 

    Gone, 
    gone, 
    the 
    water's 
    all 
    gone 

    Mummy 
    come 
    back 
    'cause 

    the 
    water's 
    all 
    gone 

    Jah 
    Verse 8
    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 

    Jah 
    Jah 
    Jah 

    Jah 
    Jah 

    Verse 9

    Gone 
    gone 
    the 
    wa

    all 
    gone 

    Mummy 
    come 
    back 
    'cause

    • 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.
