    Verse 1
    Cornwall 
    and 
    the 
    harbor 

    Where 
    witches 
    went 
    mad 

    more 
    than 
    once 
    and 

    Until 
    this 
    day 

    In 
    dreams 
    at 
    least 

    The 
    lighthouse 
    at 
    lost 
    Christa
    bel 

    Squat 
    and 
    hugely 
    tilts 

    Upon 
    the strand 
    where 

    granddad's 
    house 
    was 
    built 

    And 
    having 
    stood 
    the test 
    of 
    time 

    The 
    starry 
    gale 
    the 
    bloody 
    tide 

    Grandad's 
    house 
    though 

    gaped 
    with 
    hooks 

    And 
    filled 
    with 
    books 

    Could 
    stand 
    no 
    more 
    until 

    A certain 
    prophecy 

    Once 
    read 
    - now 
    stood 

    Be
    fore 
    the world 
    fulfilled 


    Verse 2
    Now 
    of 
    these 
    books 
    in 

    granddad's 
    keep 

    Some 
    of them 
    were 
    new 
    but 

    mostly 
    they 
    were old 

    And 
    the 
    oldest 
    was 
    a scroll 

    prophecy 
    that 
    read 

    When 
    the 
    riddle 
    begins 

    The 
    story 
    will 
    end 

    August 
    the 
    first 
    Verse 3
    1892 

    And in the 
    guise 
    of destiny 

    Grandad 
    quit 
    Corn
    wall 

    I'm 
    captain 
    of 
    a ship 

    My 
    ship 
    is 
    charmed, 

    and 
    called 
    Plutonia. 

    Verse 4
    Stories 
    on 
    land, 
    storms 
    at 
    sea 

    'tween 
    1892 and 
    '93 

    When grandad 
    sailed 

    Interlude 1
    for Mexico 


    Verse 5
    Ships 
    charmed 
    and ordinary 

    Sailed 
    the 
    glidepath to 
    the sun 

    And 
    when 
    the sun 
    proved 
    false 

    As 
    it always 
    does 

    Some 
    of them 
    would 
    be 
    lost 

    And 
    some 
    would 
    sail 
    back 
    home 

    It was 
    no star 

    But 
    magna 
    of 
    illu
    sion 

    mean 
    by 
    that 

    The mirror 
    found 

    In the 
    chamber 
    of 
    jade 

    grown 
    like a 
    seed 

    Deep 
    within 
    the ground 

    The mirror 
    found 
    Verse 6

    By 
    one 
    man 

    So 
    on 
    and 
    off 
    again 

    He sailed 
    the Europe's 
    rim 

    On and 
    off, 
    off 
    and on 

    Un
    til 
    his time 
    had 
    come 

    Verse 7

    Through 
    tears 
    and 
    smiles 

    The 
    last 
    domain 

    The 
    rods 
    of 
    broken 
    crys
    tal 

    On 
    and off, 
    and off 
    again 

    Until 
    his time 
    had come 

    Late 
    to the 
    story 
    that 
    had 
    been 

    But 
    early 
    to 
    the 
    riddle 
    not 
    yet 
    begun 

    Verse 8

    August 
    the 
    first 
    1893 

    The 
    charmed 
    ship 
    Plutoni

    Sailed 
    like a 
    ray 
    into 
    Cornwall 

    And 
    none 
    too 
    soon 
    it 
    seems 

    Verse 9
    That 
    night 
    the captain's 

    granddaughter 

    Would 
    celebrate 
    her 
    birthday 

    I've 
    come 
    long 
    way, 

    said 
    the captain 

    From 
    lost 
    Christa
    bel this 
    night 

    Accompanied 
    by 
    my 
    dog 
    familiar 

    To blast 
    your 
    rafter
    s with 
    my surprise! 

    Granddaughter, 

    it's 
    a foreign 
    mir
    ror 

    Taken 
    from 
    the jungle 
    by 
    crime! 

    Verse 10
    Stories 
    on 
    land, 
    storms 
    at 
    sea 

    'tween 1892 and 
    '93 

    When grandad 
    sailed 
    for Mexico 


    Verse 11
    When 
    tables 
    collapse 

    And 
    floors 
    have 
    filled 

    And the 
    party's 
    over, 
    it's 
    all 
    over 

    Sea- 
    dogs 
    and 
    rockers 

    will 
    dwell 
    on 
    doom 

    I've 
    warped 
    the stuff 
    of ground 

    What 
    seems 
    to 
    be 
    is 
    not 

    Behind 
    closed 
    eyes 

    Realize 
    your 
    sight 

    Mine, 
    granddaughter, 
    proves 
    surprise 

    More 
    light 
    than sun 

    More 
    dark 
    than 
    night 
    then 

    More 
    a snare 
    than 
    lust

    • 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.
