    Verse 1

    grief 
    came riding 
    on 
    the wind 

    Up 
    the southern 
    river Thames 

    was sitting 
    on the bank 

    with my mouth 
    open 

    And I felt 
    it 
    entering 

    Verse 2
    began 
    thinking 
    about 
    our 

    wed
    ding 
    day 

    And how love 
    was 
    vow 

    And I was 
    thinking 
    about 

    the cham
    ber 
    door 

    Only 
    we 
    can 
    enter 
    now 

    Verse 3
    I began 
    thinking 
    about 
    our 

    ancient 
    friends 

    And of kissing 
    them 
    good
    bye 

    And then the 
    wind 
    blew under 

    Bat
    tersea 
    Bridge 

    And 
    a tear 
    broke 
    from 
    my 
    eye 

    Verse 4
    started 
    thinking 
    about 

    London 

    And nothing 
    good 
    ever 
    came 

    from 
    this 
    town 

    And if the 
    Thames 
    weren't 
    so filthy 

    would 
    jump 
    into 
    the 
    river 
    and 
    drown 

    Don't 
    be 
    afraid 
    Verse 5

    Come 
    on 
    down 

    I'm 
    just 
    sit
    ting 
    here 
    thinking 
    loud 

    Verse 6

    grief 
    came 
    riding 
    on 
    the wind 

    Up 
    the 
    river 
    where 
    the 

    bridges 
    crouch 

    Blowing 
    people 
    back 
    and forth 

    From 
    the mar
    ital 
    bed 
    to the 

    psychiatric 
    couch 

    Verse 7
    Blowing 
    people 
    far 
    apart 

    Blowing 
    others 
    so 
    they 
    collide 

    Blowing 
    some 
    poor bastard 

    right out 
    of the water 

    Blowing 
    another 
    one 
    over 
    the 
    side 

    Verse 8
    Hear 
    the 
    ancient 
    iron- 
    bridge 

    And listen 
    to 
    it 
    groan 

    With 
    the weight 
    of 
    a thousand 
    people 

    Leaving 
    or 
    re
    turning 
    home 

    Verse 9
    To 
    their 
    failures 

    To 
    their 
    boredoms 

    To their 
    husband
    s and 
    their 

    wives 

    Who are carving 
    them up 
    for 
    din
    ner 

    Be
    fore 
    they 
    even 
    ar
    rive 

    Don't 
    be 
    afraid 
    Verse 10

    Come on 
    down 

    I'm 
    just sit
    ting 
    here 
    think
    ing 
    loud 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 11
    Now 
    look there 
    just 
    below 
    the 
    water 

    See 
    the 
    savior 
    of 
    the 
    human 
    race 

    With the 
    fishes 
    and 
    the frogs 

    Has 
    found 
    his 
    final 
    resting 
    place 

    Verse 12
    Don't 
    be 
    afraid 

    Come on 
    down 

    I'm 
    just sit
    ting 
    here 
    thinking 
    loud

    • 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.
