  • Verse 1
    went 
    down 
    to 
    the place 

    Where 
    knew, 
    she 
    lay 
    waiting 

    Under 
    the marble 
    and 
    the snow 

    Verse 2
    I said, 
    "Mother 
    I'm 
    frightened 

    The thunder 
    and the 
    lightning 

    I'll 
    never come 
    through 
    this 
    alone" 

    Verse 3
    She 
    said, 
    “I'll be 
    with 
    you 

    My shawl 
    wrapped 
    around 
    you 

    My 
    hand 
    on your 
    head 
    when 
    you 
    go” 

    Verse 4
    And the 
    night 
    came 
    on, 
    it was 
    very 
    calm 

    wanted 
    the night 
    to 
    go 
    on 
    and on 

    But 
    she 
    said, 
    “Go back, 

    go 
    back 
    to the 
    world” 

    Verse 5
    We were 
    fighting 
    in Egypt 

    When 
    they signed 
    this agreement 

    That 
    nobody 
    else 
    had 
    to 
    die 

    Verse 6
    There 
    was this 
    terrible 
    sound 

    And 
    my 
    father 
    went 
    down 

    With 
    a terrible 
    wound 
    in his 
    side 

    Verse 7
    He 
    said, 
    “Try to 
    go on 

    Take 
    my 
    books, 
    take 
    my 
    gun 

    And remember, 
    my 
    son, 
    how 
    they 
    lied” 

    Verse 8
    And 
    the 
    night 
    comes 
    on 

    and it's very 
    calm 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    pretend 
    that 
    my 

    father 
    was 
    wrong 

    But you 
    don't 
    want 
    to 
    lie, 
    not 
    to 
    the young 

    Verse 9

    We 
    were 
    locked 
    in 
    this 
    kitchen 

    took 
    to religion 

    And 
    wondered 
    how 
    long 
    she 
    would 
    stay 

    Verse 10
    needed 
    so 
    much 

    To 
    have 
    nothing 
    to touch 

    I've 
    always 
    been 
    greedy 
    that 
    way 

    Verse 11
    But my 
    son 
    and 
    my 
    daughter 

    Climbed 
    out 
    of the 
    water 

    Cryin' 
    papa, 
    you promised 
    to 
    play 

    Verse 12
    And they 
    lead 
    me 
    away 

    to the 
    great 
    surprise 

    It's 
    papa, 
    don't 
    peek, 

    papa, 
    cover 
    your 
    eyes 

    And 
    they 
    hide, 
    they 
    hide 
    in the 
    World 

    Verse 13
    Now 
    I look 
    for 
    her always 

    I'm 
    lost 
    in this 
    calling 

    I'm tied 
    to the 
    threads 
    of 
    some 
    prayer 

    Verse 14
    Saying, 
    “When will 
    she 
    summon 
    me? 

    When 
    will 
    she 
    come 
    to me? 

    What must 
    do 
    to 
    prepare?” 

    Verse 15
    Then 
    she 
    bends 
    to my 
    longing 

    Like 
    a willow, 
    like 
    fountain 

    She stands 
    in the 
    luminous 
    air 

    Verse 16
    And 
    the 
    night 
    comes 
    on 

    and 
    it's very 
    calm 

    I lie 
    in 
    her 
    arms 
    and 
    says, 

    “When I'm 
    gone 

    I'll 
    be 
    yours, 
    yours 
    for a 
    song” 

    Verse 17
    Now the 
    crickets 
    are singing 

    The 
    vesper 
    bells 
    ringing 

    The 
    cat's 
    curled 
    asleep 
    in 
    his 
    chair 

    Verse 18
    I'll 
    go 
    down 
    to 
    Bill's 
    Bar 

    can 
    make 
    it that 
    far 

    And I'll 
    see 
    if 
    my friends 
    are 
    still 
    there 

    Verse 19
    And 
    yes, 
    here's 
    to the 
    few 

    Who 
    forgive 
    what 
    you do 

    And the 
    fewer 
    who don't 
    even 
    care 

    Verse 20
    And 
    the 
    night 
    comes 
    on 
    and 

    it's 
    very 
    calm 

    I want 
    to 
    cross 
    over, 
    I want 
    to 
    go 
    home 

    And 
    she says, 
    “Go back, 

    go 
    back 
    to the world”

    • 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.
