Verse 1
Am
By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big- Sea- Water,
At the doorway of the wigwam,
In the early Summer morning,
Verse 2
Am
Hiawatha stood and waited.
All the air was full of freshness,
All the earth was bright and joyous,
F
And before him,
Dm
Am
through the sunshine,
Verse 3
Am
Westward toward the
neighboring forest
Passed in golden swarms the

Dm
Am
Ahmo,
Passed the bees, the honey- makers,
F
Am
Burning, singing in the sunshine.
Verse 4
Am
Bright above him shone the heavens,
Level spread the lake before him;
From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,
Dm
Sparkling, flashing in
Am
the sunshine;
Verse 5
Am
On its margin the great forest
Stood reflected in the water,
Every tree- top had its shadow,
Motionless beneath the water.
Verse 6
Am
From the brow of Hiawatha
Gone was every trace of sorrow,
F
Am
As the fog from off the water,
F
Dm
Am
As the mist from off the meadow.
Verse 7
Am
With a smile of joy and gladness,
With a look of exultation,
As of one who in a vision
Sees what is to be, but is not,
Verse 8
Am
Stood and waited Hiawatha.
Toward the sun his hands were lifted,
F
Am
Both the palms spread out toward it,
Dm
Am
And between the parted fingers
Verse 9
Am
Fell the sunshine on his features,
Flecked with light his naked

shoulder s,
As it falls and flecks an oak- tree
Through the rifted leaves and branches.
Verse 10
Am
O'er the water floating, flying,
Something in the hazy distance,
Dm
Am
Something in the
mists of morning,
Dm
Am
Loomed and lifted from the water,
Verse 11
Am
Now seemed floating,
now seemed flying,
Coming nearer, nearer, nearer.
Was it Shingebis the diver?
Dm
Am
Or the pel ican, the Shada?
Verse 12
Am
Or the heron, the Shuh- shuh- gah?
Or the white goose, Waw- be- wana,
F
Am
With the water dripping, flashing,
F
Am
From its glossy neck
Dm
Am
and feathers?
Verse 13
Am
It was neither goose nor diver,
Neither pelican nor heron,
O'er the water floating, flying,
Verse 14
Through the shining mist of morning,
Am
But a birch canoe with paddles,
Rising, sinking on the water,
Dripping, flashing in the sunshine;

Can it be the sun descending
O'er the level plain of water?
Or the Red Swan floating, flying,

Wounded by the magic

Verse 16
Am
Staining all the waves with crimson,
Dm
With the crimson of its life- blood,

F
Am
Filling all the air
with splendor,

Filling all the air with plumage?
Verse 17
Am
Dm
Am
Yes; it is the sun descending,
Sinking down into the water;
All the sky is stained with purple,
Dm
All the water flushed
Am
with crimson!
Verse 18
Am
No; it is the Red Swan floating,
Diving down beneath the water;
F
Dm
F

To the sky its wings are lifted,

Over it the Star of Evening
Melts and trembles through the purple,

Walks in silence through the heavens.

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!!!”

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.”
