Verse 1
E5

A sense of peace was falling on the universal night

And it gave me a pause to reason why I live

To never cease the calling

of the consequential right

And it gave me cause and

reason why they give

The first thing I remember was the

shadow 'cross my heart

And they matched the beauty
A5

hidden in their soul
E5
The next was 'cross the universe,

Verse 6
E5


I looked across the answers,

though questions didn't exist

And found that I was never alone

We cut away the cancer

and continued to resist

But the outcome of the

night remained unknown

The next thing I remember were the

years across my face

And they matched only the

beauty of scars

The nex t was 'cross the

Verse 9
E5

So as the plot will thicken and

time is not a friend

The blessing comes but one in a life

Across the crowded universe

that hastens to an end

Through memories of one

time in a night

And what will I remember

through the by and by

To have and hold and turn about the chill
A5
E5

That this was not the pause to die
G5
F5

But to live to kill

  • 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.
