the wildwood air

Bluebells blazing where the

I'm gonna go there when I feel

good enough to go

Windows were shaking all

night in my dreams

I'm listening to Neil Young,

I gotta turn up the sound

Someone's always yellin'

driftin' from scene to scene

I'm wonderin' what in the devil

could it all possibly mean

Insanity is smashin' up against my soul

maybe take it to the pawn shop?
Dm

My heart's in The High

Big white clouds like chariots

only place left to go

there's nobody around

have my drawin' book"

I say "Yes I could but I don't

know where my pencil is at"

She says "Alright now go ahead draw

me I'm stayin' right here"

it for her to see

throws it back and says

I said "Oh kind miss,

it most certainly does"

She say "You must be joking",

She says "You don't read

women authors do ya?"

At least that's what I
D

think I hear her say
A

Well I say "How would you know,
G
D

and what would it matter anyway?"

Well she says "Ya just don't

seem like ya do"

I said "You're way wrong"

She says "Which ones have you read then?",

I step outside back to the busy street,
G

but nobody's goin' anywhere
D

Dm

Well my heart's in The Highlands

with the horses and hounds

Way up in the border country
G

far from the towns

With the twang of the arrow
D

and the snap of the bow
A

My heart's in The Highlands,
G
D

can't see any other way to go

Every day is the same thing, out the door

Feel further away than ever before
G

Some things in life it just
D

gets too late to learn
A

Well I'm lost somewhere,
G

I must have made a few bad turns
Interlude 4
D

Dm
I see people in the park,
Verse 10
Dm

D

forgettin' their troubles and woes

They're drinkin' and dancin',
G

wearin' bright colored clothes

All the young men with the young
D

women lookin' so good
A

Well, I'd trade places with any of 'em,
G
D

in a minute if I could

I'm crossin' the street to get

away from a mangy dog
G

Talkin' to myself in a monologue

I think what I need might be a
D

full-length leather leather coat
A
G

Somebody just asked me if
Interlude 5

I'm registered to vote
D

Dm
D
The sun is beginnin'
Verse 11

to shine on me

But it's not like the sun that
G

used to be

The party's over and there's
D
A

less and less to say

I got new eyes,
G
D

everything looks far away

Well my heart's in The Highlands

at the break of day
G

Over the hills and far away

There's a way to get there,

and I'll figure it out somehow
D
A
G

Well I'm already there in my mind

and that's good enough for now
D

  • 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.
