    • Verse 1

    Streets 
    are almost 
    empty, 

    shops 
    are all closed 
    down 

    There's 
    not a soul 
    left 
    in the 

    bar to 
    tell my 
    troubles 
    to 

    Think I'll 
    walk down 
    to 
    the river 

    that runs just 
    south 
    of town 

    I 
    hate like 
    hell when 
    there 

    ain't 
    nothin' 
    left to 
    do 

    But 
    stand 
    beneath the 
    river bridge 

    and 
    listen 
    for the 
    train 

    It's 
    been a long 
    hot 
    summer, 

    not 
    a drop 
    of rain 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    I broke down 
    in December, 

    I headed 
    for the 
    coast 

    I 
    thought the 
    wind 
    and water 

    would elevate 
    my 
    mind 

    I 
    sur
    faced 
    in the 
    springtime 

    feelin' 
    like 
    a ghost 

    Missin' 
    more than 
    ever 

    the things 
    I left behind 

    Now I'm 
    stand
    in' 
    on this 
    ri

    verbank 
    and 
    still cannot 
    explain 

    It's 
    been a long 
    hot 
    summer, 

    not 
    a drop 
    of 
    rain 

    Verse 3
    My 
    bag 
    is full of 
    letters, 
    unopened 

    and unread 

    I'm 
    sure they'd 
    tell the 

    story 
    of 
    worry 
    and of 
    form 

    My 
    heart 
    is beating 
    heavy 

    with 
    all we 
    left unsaid 

    And I 
    swear 
    to you I 
    never 

    meant you 
    any 
    harm 

    This 
    sacrifice 
    and 
    compromise 

    could 
    nev
    er stand 
    the 
    strain 

    It's 
    been a long 
    hot 
    summer, 

    not 
    a drop 
    of rain 

    Verse 4
    Tonight I'll 
    close 
    my eyes 
    again, 

    try to 
    see your 
    face 

    Listen 
    for your 
    voice to 
    tell me 

    it's alright 
    to 
    sleep 

    Con
    vince myself 
    I'll wake 
    up in 

    another time 
    and 
    place 

    Know
    in' all 
    the while 

    that it's a promise 
    I can't 
    keep 

    A 
    string of 
    broken 
    promises, 

    an
    other 
    link 
    of chain 

    It's 
    been a long 
    hot 
    summer, 

    not 
    a drop 
    of 
    rain 

    Verse 5
    The children 
    on the 
    playground, 

    the lovers 
    in the 
    shade 

    Re
    mind me 
    of a 
    life 
    and time 

    that feels 
    more like 
    a dream 

    When 
    the 
    sound 
    of love 
    and laughter 

    was 
    the music 
    that we 
    played 

    As we 
    lay beside 
    the 
    waters 
    of 

    a never 
    ending 
    stream 

    Now the 
    stream has 
    gone to 
    hiding, 

    the 
    dream lives 
    on 
    in vain 

    It's 
    been a long 
    hot 
    summer, 

    not 
    a drop 
    of rain 


    Verse 6

    The clouds 
    are building 
    slowly 

    on 
    the skyline 
    to the east 

    The 
    wind 
    and dust 
    are dancing 

    like the 
    devil across 
    the 
    lake 

    I 
    could 
    try to 
    find 
    a bottle 

    or try to 
    find a 
    priest 

    Sal
    vation 
    won't be 
    traveling 

    either 
    road I 
    take 

    So I 
    turn my 
    collar 
    to the 
    wind that 

    echoes 
    this 
    refrain 

    It's 
    been a long 
    hot 
    summer, 

    not 
    a drop 
    of rain

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
