    • Verse 1
    On 
    a lark, 
    I 
    took 
    a drive 

    down 
    a dark 
    road 

    Toward 
    the sign 
    that said 
    'The 
    West' 

    When 
    I seen 
    it 

    That 
    glimmer
    ing 
    green 
    mark 

    was 
    all 
    I needed 

    To feel 
    you 
    in 
    the pas
    senger 
    seat 

    Hum
    ming 
    I’m older

    I feel 
    your 
    withered 
    hand 
    on 
    my 
    knee 

    Though 
    I'm 
    trav
    eling 
    alone 

    When 
    Verse 2
    we 
    we 
    were kids 

    we'd 
    pile 
    in 

    And take 
    the the same 
    road 
    toward 

    The 
    island 
    in 
    the 
    West 

    We 
    would 
    run 
    and 
    skipping 
    stones 

    Sinking 
    lower 
    than 
    the 
    evening 
    sun 

    You 
    were an 
    old 
    man 
    then 

    Getting 
    older 
    every 
    day 

    And 
    I 
    could feel 
    it 
    then 

    Those 
    were diamond 
    days 

    Verse 3
    And 
    I 
    think 
    I 
    know 
    where 

    Where you 
    go 
    when 
    you 
    die 

    you're 
    the magpie 

    One 
    sorrow, 
    two 
    for 
    joy 

    Verse 4
    Though I 
    nev
    er 
    pay 
    no 
    mind 
    to 
    the wire 

    All 
    the birds 
    that 
    perched 
    upon 
    it 

    But 
    now 
    a bee's 
    in my 
    bonnet 

    I 
    remember 
    the coun
    try 
    roads 

    Cause
    ways 
    and 
    the dun
    es 

    And 
    the magpie's 
    lonely 

    wail sounded 
    like 
    you 

    Verse 5

    Now 
    that 
    I think 
    that 
    I know 

    Where 
    we going 
    when 
    you 
    die 

    Interlude 1
    You 
    are the 
    magpie 




    Verse 6
    All 
    the 
    way 
    from 
    Clare 

    The 
    Atlantic 
    in 
    our 
    hair 

    A murder 
    of 
    crows 
    flew 
    over us 

    Early 
    morning 
    drive, 

    singing 
    to pass 
    the time 

    When 
    you 
    can 
    shut 
    the 
    door 

    And 
    you 
    can 
    feel 
    us 

    Coming 
    around 
    the 
    bend, 

    coming 
    home 
    again 

    Even 
    the sky 
    come down 
    like 
    this 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 7
    When 
    you 
    go 

    We 
    will 
    bury 
    you 
    along 
    the same 
    road 

    As 
    the sun 
    sets 
    in 
    the west 

    You, 
    on 
    our shoulders, 
    we 
    will 
    lower 
    you 

    Into 
    the ground 
    like 
    a boulder 

    When 
    a magpie 
    lands 
    on 
    me, 

    hum
    ming 
    a 

    I 
    feel 
    your 
    breath 
    on 
    my 

    Cheek 
    though 
    I'm 
    alone

      "

      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

      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.
