My sanctum

To find the little hideaway
I had fashioned
Though I had been there hundred
G
Em
s and hundreds of times
Verse 2

I would look for the strips
of white sheet
Am
F
Bright like bush ghosts that hun
Am
g along the woven walls
Em
They would tell me where
G
All about me were my treasures
Am
The stained bandages like flags
Boxes of nails and tacks

A crate of electrical cord, my hammer

Candles and plastic bags full of matches
and tapers from the church
My Bibles
Em
Twine Animal boxes and feathers
and bird skulls

Shells
and nests and some
Am
of my shoeboxes, about ten

Pictures I had cut from magazines and
Am
Em
threaded through the walls
G
Em
The tiny blue glass bottles of scented
Am
water
Em
And with these, I kept my life trophies My God

G
tokens, the parts of her left be

she had written on the back of it in verse

The painting of Beth,
Em
G
of her fastened to the walls and ceiling of the grotto
Am
Angled so that it hovered above me as I
lay in my shell
Em
On a carpet of pink silk and frill, yes
G
And the ten pearl buttons leaving their evanescent
Am
impression down my back or belly
The stroke of hair,
Em
a ruby bead sailing down a yellow strand

A trembling scarlet drop
the bittersweet sip

Oh, the lifetimes lost in queer congress,
holed up in that dark retreat

Holed up in that dark retreat
Em
Holed up in that dark retreat
Verse 6
F#
A felled tree trunk, carved down the middle by a
G
cleaver of lightning
Am
During the rain days, I guess
Made a kind of a pallet where
I would lie stretched out

Between the two halves that I had pad

ded with cardboard and moss
Am
Encapsulated by two
walls of umbrage
That twisted about a few clapboards,
Em
I had nailed to the trunks as supports

G
The vines intertwining overhead
Am
to form a low ceiling
I could sit up with a
full foot's grace
G
Room enough for my angel,

Who would come in my later years

Appear on the tree stump
at the foot of my cocoon
Em
Then come inside and lie with me
Am
G
Sometimes I heard thousands of
Verse 8
Am
voices,
G
for God is many- tongued
Whispering things to me as I
lay there all alone
Am
G
All my feelings of fear and of
anger and of despair

That I ate daily like bread would
G
leave me
And I would feel most powerful
G
Most powerful
Am
They taught me He taught me how to deal

with myself at
first
Then later he taught me
how to deal with the others

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
