    Verse 1
    Well, 
    I jumped 

    so 
    high 

    Knocked 
    the table 
    over 

    Thought 
    I saw 
    ghost 

    Come 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    clover 

    She 
    lived 
    in 
    this 
    house 

    Forty 
    odd 
    years 
    or so 

    Verse 2

    She 
    was 
    buried 
    in 
    the 
    back 

    With 
    the 
    English 
    and 
    the 
    nat
    ives 

    Slaughtered 
    like 
    sheep 

    Women 
    and 
    babies 

    lot 
    of 
    blood 
    and 
    tears 

    Three 
    hundred 
    years 
    ago 

    Verse 3

    It's 
    like 
    they're 
    caught 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    trees 

    In 
    the 
    webs 
    of 
    spiders 

    Spun 
    out 
    of 
    leaves 

    Ghostly 
    riders 

    Lookin' 
    for 
    trail 

    To 
    find 
    their 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    Verse 4

    But 
    there's 
    nothing 
    back 

    there 
    or 
    tomorrow 

    No 
    place 
    they 
    can 
    put 
    their 
    sorrow 

    Heavy 
    as 
    death 

    Cold 
    as 
    broken 
    stone

    Verse 5
    And 
    call 
    this 
    place 
    my 
    homeland 

    And 
    claim 
    this 
    land 
    own 

    But 
    it 
    be
    longs 
    to 
    another 
    people 

    They 
    possess 
    it 
    in 
    their 
    bones 

    Verse 6

    Well, 
    can 
    hear 
    them 
    in 
    the night 

    Like 
    hundred 
    televisions 

    Hummin' 
    down 
    low 

    beneath 
    the subdivisions 

    All 
    they 
    really 
    want 
    is if 
    we can 

    hear 
    â??em now 

    Verse 7

    They 
    been 
    troublin' 
    this 
    plain 

    Looking 
    for 
    attention 

    Mak
    ing 
    crazy 
    tracks 

    They 
    need 
    an 
    intervention 

    All 
    they 
    really 
    want 

    Is to 
    get 
    back 
    home 
    some
    how 

    Verse 8

    So 
    build 
    up 
    a fire 

    Say 
    little 
    prayer 

    Cook 
    little 
    meat 

    Pull 
    â??em up 
    a chair 

    And 
    offer 
    them 
    plate 

    Maybe 
    we 
    can 
    all 
    find 
    peace 

    Verse 9
    You 
    can't 
    bury 
    anything, 
    men 
    or 
    nations 

    Old 
    memories, 
    old 
    vibrations 

    The 
    pain 
    doesn't 
    stop 
    just 

    because 
    the 
    killing 
    ceased 

    Verse 10

    And 
    call 
    this 
    place 
    my 
    homeland 

    And 
    claim 
    this 
    land 
    own 

    It 
    be
    longs 
    to 
    another 
    people 

    They 
    pos
    sess 
    it 
    in 
    their 
    bones 

    Interlude 1







    Verse 11
    Well, 
    jumped 
    so 
    high 

    Straight 
    up 
    off 
    the 
    bed
    sheet 

    Nightmare 
    sky 

    Bloody 
    with 
    the 
    red 
    heat 

    Star
    ted 
    to 
    shake 

    Cause 
    couldn't 
    find 
    my 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    Verse 12

    Well, 
    landed 
    in 
    the 
    ditch 

    Landed 
    in 
    the gutter 

    Landed 
    in 
    arms 
    of 
    my 
    long 
    lost 
    mother 

    Cryin' 
    like 
    child 

    While 
    the Bayou 
    Pierre 
    groaned 

    Verse 13
    And 
    call 
    this 
    place 
    my 
    homeland 

    And 
    love 
    this 
    land 
    own 

    It 
    be
    longs 
    to 
    another 
    people 

    They 
    pos
    sess 
    it 
    in 
    their 
    bones 

    Verse 14

    Yeah, 
    call 
    this 
    place 
    my 
    homeland 

    And 
    claim 
    this 
    land 
    own 

    But 
    it 
    be
    longs 
    to 
    another 
    people 

    They 
    pos
    sess 
    it 
    in

    • 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.
