    Verse 1
    I'm 
    really 
    okay, 

    thank
    s 

    There's 
    nothing 
    to 
    witness 

    I said 
    as I 
    looked 
    back 
    from 

    the 
    edge 
    of a cliff 

    The 
    old 
    man 
    looking 
    down 

    bent 
    over the 
    ridge 

    Struck 
    with 
    a 
    grin 
    as 
    if 
    a 

    blessing 
    had hit 
    him 

    I slumped 
    on the 
    Verse 2
    jut 
    of the cliff 

    Just 
    leave 
    me 
    alone, 

    this 
    is 
    none 
    of 
    your 
    business 

    I 
    will, 
    said 
    the 
    old 
    man, 

    but 
    just 
    one 
    thing 

    And 
    what 
    he said 
    was 
    so 
    lovely 

    it stunned 
    me 

    Verse 3
    He said: 
    I 
    lay 
    right 
    there 

    once 
    at the 
    edge 
    of the 
    rock 

    I was ready 
    to jump, 

    I was 
    ever 
    so 
    lost 

    But this 
    gen
    tleman 
    stopped 
    and 
    said 

    something 
    I 
    never 
    forgot 

    Verse 4
    [Chorus:] 
    For 

    billions 
    of 
    years 
    since 
    the 

    outset 
    of 
    time 

    Every 
    single 
    one 
    of 
    your 

    ancestors 
    has 
    sur
    vived 

    Every 
    single 
    person 
    on 
    your 

    mum 
    and 
    dad's 
    side 

    Suc
    cessfully 
    looked 
    after 
    and 

    passed 
    on 
    to 
    you 
    life 

    What 
    are the 
    chances 
    of 
    that, 
    like? 

    It 
    comes 
    to 
    me 
    once 
    in 
    a 
    while 

    And 
    everywhere 
    I tell 
    folk 
    it 
    gets 

    the 
    best 
    smile 

    Verse 5

    And 
    then 
    the old 
    man 
    walked 

    away 
    and 
    out 
    of sight 

    Til 
    the 
    sound 
    of him 
    hik
    ing 

    turned 
    to the 
    sound 
    of 
    si
    lence. 

    I 
    just 
    froze 
    in a 
    profound 
    surprise 

    And 
    from 
    down 
    on my 
    pride 
    I found 

    a smile 
    to 
    my 
    eyes. 

    And for 
    many 
    days 
    again 
    Verse 6
    I've 

    been passing 
    the 
    same 
    cliff 

    And 
    on many 
    occasions 
    I'd chance 

    on the same 
    thing 

    Verse 7
    Laying 
    in the 
    moss, 

    in 
    the 
    same 
    way 
    I 
    was 

    Would 
    be 
    an
    other 
    man 
    looking 

    like 
    he needed 
    a change 
    of 
    luck 

    Verse 8
    So 
    I'd say: 
    I 
    lay 
    right 
    there 

    once 
    at the 
    edge 
    of the 
    rock 

    I was 
    ready 
    to 
    jump, 

    I 
    was 
    ever 
    so 
    lost 

    But 
    this 
    gen
    tleman 
    stopped 
    and 
    said 

    something 
    I 
    never 
    forgot 


    [Chorus: Repeat 2X]

      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

      "

      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.
