    Blue clouds 
    twis
    ted into 
    a tunnel 
    Verse 1

    Some
    where far 
    off 
    the thunder 
    roaring 

    And 
    the 
    fortune 
    teller 
    has 

    fixed her 
    sleepy 
    eyes 
    on 
    my 

    Child 

    Sometimes 
    Verse 2
    I climb 
    high up 
    a 
    tree 

    To 
    let the 
    wind blow 
    in my 
    face 

    Sometimes 
    I leave 
    my cares 

    lying 
    in piles 

    Verse 3
    Somewhat 
    disturbing 
    is the 
    sound 

    of bird
    s 
    singing 

    When you 
    know 
    you don't 

    deserve 
    it 

    You are 
    not 
    here 
    today 

    And 
    I 
    feel 
    just like 
    an 
    empty 
    eggshell, 
    and 

    My 
    yoke 
    is heavy 

    My 
    yoke 
    is heavy 

    My 
    voice is 
    a little 
    Verse 4
    horse 

    Ggalloping lost 
    through the 
    woods 

    Calling 
    your name 

    Verse 5
    It's 
    new 
    to me 

    But 
    just 
    the same 

    The earth 
    is an 
    old 
    canvas 

    Painted 
    over 
    many times 

    The 
    poet 
    Verse 6
    rambles 

    The world 
    it scrambles 

    But 
    who 
    knows 
    what evil 

    lurks 
    in the 
    hearts 
    of 
    men 

    Your 
    shadow 
    knows 
    Verse 7

    It's 
    right be
    hind 
    you all 
    the 
    way 

    Your 
    shadow 
    knows 
    where you've 
    been 

    Somewhat 
    Verse 8
    disturbing 
    is the sound 

    of 
    birds 
    singing 

    When 
    you know 
    you 
    don't 

    deserve 
    it 

    You 
    are not 
    here 
    today 

    And I 
    feel 
    just 
    like 
    an empty 
    egg
    shell, 

    an
    d 

    My 
    yoke 
    is heavy 

    My 
    yoke 
    is heavy 

    Sac
    red 
    is the 
    smile 
    That 
    Verse 9

    opene
    d 
    up my 
    mind 

    That 
    may 
    at last 
    please 
    save 
    me 

    And 
    rid 
    my cold, 
    cold 
    heart 

    Of the 
    dark 
    deep gloom 

    That 
    took up 
    so much 
    room 

    In 
    my many 
    spacious 
    memories 

    Verse 10
    And many 
    are 
    the 
    times 

    I 
    thought 
    and 
    rethought 

    The 
    thoughts 
    you got 
    me 
    thinking 

    Verse 11

    Though 
    the sun 
    shines 

    bright 
    upon 
    me now 

    And 
    I am 
    young 
    and 
    kicking 

    My 
    yoke 
    is 
    heavy 

    My 
    yoke 
    is heavy

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
