If it wasn't for

the blinding sun I might enjoy the view

I've got books for if I'm bored

a door to open when it's hot
C
To think it's ever not
Am
D
Verse 3

Like afternoons when clouds come

and hang low over the planes

Verse 5
G
Em
But you and I are changeable
C
by millionths of degrees
G
Em
Our compasses spin wild and we're
C
Am
blown round by the breeze
C

We land to find the secrets and
Em
Am
the people who confess them
C
We just wanna learn but
Am
D
never to possess them
Verse 6
G
Em
So I go down to meet the raucous

din that fills the bar most night

I seek out conversation
C

and deftly avoid the fights
Em
G
One says "If we're all of this earth
Em
Am
then on the earth we dwell,
C
But can take out what's in the
Am
D
earth aswell"
Verse 7
G
Em
Another seems to be amused
C
G
that I came here by choice
And it hits you,
Em
C

all the miles you travelled just to find a voice
C
G
For all these ends and loose threads
Em
Am
that need pulling in your brain
C
To know that you are strange
Am

Verse 9
G
Em
I try to understand the solar
C
G
system 'till it hurts my head
Em
I decide to make it relative with
C
Am
objects round my bed
C
G
If the earth is on my pillow and
Em
Am
the sun lies in the sink
C
Then we're closer than we think
Am
Verse 10
D
G
Em
Your father took me up to show
C
G
the house upon the hill
Em
We pushed through racks of dusty
C

clothes to find your old room still
C

As it was when once into with arm
Em
Am
s of wood he crept
C
To warm you while you slept
Am
D
Verse 11
G
Em
I can picture you now wak ing to
C
G
another frosty morning
Em
The winter birds or carol for
C
Am
the places they were born in
C
G
Your little heart beats fast and sends
Em
Am
a flush to your cheeks red
C
And you get out of bed
Am
D
Verse 12
G
Em
Are there ways that you can read my
C
G
thoughts across the Great Divide
Em
Can you tell I'm thinking of you as if
C
Am
you're here by my side
C
G
Do they reach you as a shiver when you're
Em
Am
up hiking 'neath the trees
C
Or as a pollen in the air that makes you sneeze

Now nighttime travels
Em
C
G
over me with all the stars aboard
Em
A freight train leaves for somewhere
C
Am
and it blows an eerie chord
C
G
And I'll sign off this letter and I chop
Em
Am
the ends and fold it
C
And send it off tomorrow and hope
that someday soon your hands will hold it

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
