Verse 1

I took a wrong turn off
of an unmarked track
I did seven miles I couldn't
find my way back
Hit a lonely stretch, must be losing my touch,

I was out of my depth
Em
Land was so flat,
could well have been ocean
No distinguishing feature in any direction
Verse 2
G
I took her down inch- by- inch to the floor
And I pointed her nose through
a crack in the door
Em
Fin gering my sliver St Cristopher
And saving my empty shells for her
When night closed in up around my neck
My high beam dug deep into the black
G
Gm
And a shiver broke out
G
up and down my back
Yes a shiver broke out up
Gm
and down my back

Well I could

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
