  • Verse 1
    (From 

    Hadestown) 

    Verse 2
    PERSEPHONE 
    Hades, 
    my husband, 

    Hades, 
    my 
    light 

    Hades, 
    my 
    darkness 

    If you 
    had 
    heard 
    how 
    he sang 
    tonight 

    You'd 
    pity 
    poor 
    Orpheus! 

    Verse 3
    All 
    of his 
    sorrow 
    won't 
    fit 
    in his 
    chest 

    It just 
    burns 
    like a fire 
    in 
    the 
    pit 
    of his 
    chest 

    And his 
    heart 
    is 
    a bird 

    on 
    spit 
    in his 
    chest 

    How 
    long, 
    how 
    long, 
    how 
    long? 

    Verse 4
    HADES 
    How 

    long? 
    just 
    as 
    long 
    as 

    Hades 
    is 
    king 

    Nothing 
    comes 
    of wishing 
    on 
    stars 

    Nothing 
    comes 
    of 
    the songs 

    people 
    sing 

    However 
    sorry 
    they 
    are 

    Verse 5
    Give 
    them a 
    piece 
    and 
    they'll 
    take 
    it all 

    Show 
    them 
    the crack 
    and they'll 

    tear 
    down 
    the wall 

    Lend 
    them an ear 
    and 
    the 

    kingdom 
    will 
    fall 

    The 
    kingdom 
    will 
    fall 
    for a song 

    Verse 6
    PERSEPHONE 

    What 
    does 
    he 
    care 
    for 

    the logic 
    of 
    kings? 

    The laws 
    of your 
    under
    world? 

    It 
    is 
    only 
    for 
    love 
    that he 
    sings! 

    He 
    sings 
    for the 
    love 
    of a girl 

    Verse 7
    HADES 

    You 
    and your 
    pity 
    don't 
    fit 
    in my 
    bed 

    You 
    just burn 
    like a 
    fire 
    in the 
    pit 
    of 
    my 
    bed 

    And I 
    turn 
    like 
    a bird 
    on 
    spit 
    in my 
    bed 

    How 
    long, 
    how 
    long, 
    how 
    long? 

    Verse 8
    PERSEPHONE 
    How 

    long? 
    just 
    as 
    long 
    as I 
    am 
    your 
    wife 

    It's 
    true 
    the 
    earth 
    must 
    die 

    But then 
    the 
    earth 
    comes 
    back 
    to life 

    And 
    the sun 
    just 
    goes 
    on 
    rising 

    Verse 9
    BOTH 

    And how 
    does the 
    sun 
    even 
    fit 
    in the 
    sky? 

    It 
    just 
    burns 
    like a fire 
    in 
    the 
    pit 
    of 
    the sky 

    And 
    the earth 
    is 
    a bird 
    on 
    spit 
    in the 
    sky 

    How 
    long, 
    how 
    long, 
    how 
    long?

    • 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.
