    Verse 1
    Hay, 
    and 
    a 
    clean 
    stall 

    And 
    ivy 
    on 
    the 
    garden 
    wall 

    And 
    a 
    sign 
    saying 
    sold 

    And 
    an 
    old 
    coat 
    for 
    the 
    bad 
    cold 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    I 
    believe 
    in 
    you 

    Do you 
    believe 
    in 
    me? 

    What 
    do 
    you want 
    to 
    do? 

    Are 
    we 
    leaving 
    the city? 

    Verse 3
    On 
    the black 
    road 

    Through 
    the 
    gold 
    fields 

    While 
    the field
    s 
    are 
    plowed 

    Towards 
    what 
    we 
    are allowed 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 4
    The 
    bridle 
    bend
    s 
    in 
    idle 
    hand
    s 

    And 
    slows 
    your 
    canter 
    to 
    a trot 

    We 
    mean 
    to stop, 
    in 
    increments 

    But 
    can't 
    commit, 

    we 
    post 
    and 
    sit, 
    in 
    impotence 

    Verse 5
    The 
    harder 
    you 
    hit, 
    the 
    deeper 
    the 
    dent 

    We 
    seek 
    our 
    name, 
    we 
    seek 
    out 
    fame 

    In 
    our 
    credentials, 
    paned 
    in 
    glass 

    Trained 
    to 
    master 
    incident
    als 

    Bleach 
    our 
    collar, 
    leech 
    our dollar 

    From 
    our 
    cents 

    The longer 
    you 
    live, 
    the 
    higher 
    the 
    rent 

    Verse 6
    Be
    neath 
    a 
    pale 
    sky 

    Beside 
    the 
    red 
    barn 

    Below 
    the 
    white 
    clouds 

    Is 
    all 
    we 
    are 
    allowed 

    Verse 7
    Here, 
    the light 
    will 
    seep 

    And 
    the scythe 
    will 
    reap 

    And 
    spir
    it 
    will 
    rend 

    In 
    count
    ing 
    toward 
    the 

    end 

    Verse 8

    In 
    December 
    of 
    that 
    year 

    The 
    word 
    came 
    down 
    that she 
    was 
    here 

    The 
    days 
    were 
    shorter 

    I 
    was 
    sure 
    if 
    she 
    came 
    'round 

    I'd 
    hold 
    my 
    ground, 
    I'd 
    endure 

    Verse 9
    But 
    they 
    alluded 
    to a 
    change 

    that 
    came 
    to 
    pass 

    And 
    Spring 
    deranged, 
    weep
    ing 
    grass 

    And 
    sleepless 
    broke 

    Herself 
    upon 
    my 
    window 
    glass 

    And 
    I 
    could 
    barely 
    Verse 10
    breathe, 
    for 
    seeing 

    All 
    the 
    splintered 
    light 
    that 
    leaked 

    Her fissures, 
    fleeting, 
    launched 
    in 
    flight 

    Un
    staunched daylight, 

    brightly 
    bleed
    ing 

    Bleached 
    the 
    night 
    with 
    dawn, 
    deleting 

    Verse 11
    In 
    that 
    high 
    sun, 

    after 
    our 
    good 
    run 

    When 
    the 
    spirit 
    bends 

    Beneath 
    know
    ing 
    it 
    must 
    end 

    And that 
    is 
    all 
    I 
    want 
    here 

    To draw 
    my 
    gaunt 
    spir

    it 
    to 
    bow 

    Beneath 
    what 
    I 
    am 
    allowed 

    Beneath 
    what 
    I am 
    allowed

      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

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
