    Verse 1
    Strawbs - On Growing 
    Older 
    The 

    scarecrow 
    stood 
    with 

    its 
    head 
    held 
    high 

    Ad
    miring 
    the 
    view 
    from 
    the 
    hill 

    The 
    water
    fall 
    scattered 

    its 
    glistening 
    jew
    els 

    As 
    the heron 
    stood 
    gracefully 
    still 

    It 
    seemed 
    I 
    looked 
    without 
    seeing 

    I 
    failed 
    to 
    grasp 
    what 
    I 
    saw 

    For 
    all 
    of 
    Nature's 
    beau
    tiful 
    gifts 

    I 
    blissfully 
    chose 
    to 
    ig

    nore. 

    Verse 2

    As 
    sandy 
    beaches 
    and soft 
    swell
    ing 
    tides 

    In
    vite 
    the 
    inquis
    it
    ive 
    young 

    And 
    caviar, 
    oysters 
    and 
    pate de 
    fois 

    In
    vite 
    the 
    dis
    cerning 
    tongue 

    So 
    comes 
    the desire 
    to 
    be 
    lost 
    awhile 

    In 
    the 
    depths 
    of 
    the 
    forest 
    glade 

    Midst 
    the 
    cool 
    deep 
    greens 

    where 
    an
    cient 
    oak
    s 

    Cast 
    wondrous 
    spells 
    in 
    their 

    shade. 

    Verse 3

    And 
    if sometimes 
    I 
    feel 
    in 
    retrospect 

    A 
    re
    gret 
    for 
    the 
    waste 
    of 
    my 
    youth 

    Then I 
    pause 
    to reflect 

    that 
    I 
    still 
    have 
    time 

    Be
    fore 
    growing 
    long 
    in 
    the tooth 

    To 
    achieve 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    that 

    I 
    should 
    have achieved 

    When 
    idleness 
    led 
    me 
    astray 

    And 
    being 
    aware 
    of 
    what 
    I 
    have 
    missed 

    I'm 
    ex
    tending 
    my 
    use 
    of 
    the 
    day.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
