    Verse 1
    Said 
    her name 
    was 

    Marie 
    From 
    the banks 
    of the Lee 

    With the pret
    tiest 
    eyes 

    my own 
    had ever 
    seen 

    Her hair 
    like 
    ripples 
    They danced 

    with 
    the tide 

    As our hearts 
    washed 
    away 
    to 
    the sea 

    Was 
    she sent 
    down 
    from 

    the heavens 
    above 

    Her breath 
    pure 
    as whiskey 

    my heart 
    fell 
    in love 

    Now 
    the devil 
    is courtin' 
    a different 
    tune 

    And 
    I laugh 
    as 
    the 
    tears 
    was 
    the 
    rain 

    Tell 
    me why 
    no 
    Verse 2
    one's listenin' 

    Is 
    there nothing 
    at all 
    left 
    to say 

    In 
    a world 
    so 
    unfor
    giving 

    You 
    mean more 
    to 
    me 
    each every 
    day 

    So 
    may 
    the living 
    be dead 
    in our 

    wake 

    Verse 3

    One cold 
    winters 
    night 
    behind 

    the clouds 
    stars 
    did hide 

    And the ghost 
    of 
    our souls 
    thanking 

    Christ 
    we're 
    alive 

    Our spir
    its 
    they crackled 
    with lovers 

    first sight 

    Till the mornin' 
    came 
    fresh 
    with 
    a new 

    Will 
    you dance 
    with 
    me now 
    heavens 

    child 
    sang 
    the clown 

    We've nothing 
    left 
    to lose 
    but 

    your wing
    s and 
    my frown 

    Where over 
    the hills 
    the valleys 

    will ring 

    To the sound 
    of 
    our love 
    singin' 
    true 

    So tell 
    me why 
    no 
    Verse 4
    one's listenin' 

    Is 
    there nothing 
    at all 
    left 
    to say 

    In 
    a world 
    so 
    unforgiv
    ing 

    You mean 
    more 
    to 
    me each 
    every 
    day 

    So 
    may 
    the living 
    be dead 
    in 
    our 

    wake 

    Interlude 1

    But 
    the summer 
    sun 
    is 
    Verse 5
    melt
    ing 
    now 

    With 
    the leaves 
    I'll 
    soon 
    be gone 

    Will 
    you have 
    the 
    strength 
    when 

    the emptiness 
    shadows 
    fall 

    Or 
    will 
    your aching 
    heart 
    be 
    ripped 
    apart 

    By 
    the beating 
    from 
    the storm 

    Or 
    will howling 
    gales 
    like 

    yesterdays 
    be 
    gone 

    Yeah 
    be gone, 

    gone 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 6
    Was she 
    sent 
    down 
    from 

    the heavens 
    above 

    Her breath 
    pure 
    as whiskey 

    my heart 
    fell 
    in love 

    Now 
    the devil 
    is courtin' 

    a different 
    tune 

    And I laugh 
    as 
    the tears 
    was 
    the rain 

    Verse 7
    Tell 
    me why 
    no 
    one's listenin' 

    Is 
    there nothing 
    at all 
    left 
    to 
    say 

    In 
    a world 
    so 
    un
    forgiving

    • 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.
