B
G
C
I'm writing you one last time,
Am
Monica
Norleen
It was nice to see you that
G
morning at the station
Am
I'm sure you were a warrior
in a previous incarnation
E
Am
Mia must have been a rabbit or an ostrich
G
Or a pile of trembling leaves sewn
Am
G
together with cross -stitch
D
G
Am
My anxiety has been
F
G
holding me hostage
Am
I've developed this problem
G
with a really tough itch
D
Am
G
Am
I went to the clinic to
G
get a prescription
C
Am
Cried a little in front of
the physician
G
Ointments and sedatives and antibiotics
Am
Went home with a bag full
E
of legal narcotics
Am
The best is the sedatives,
E
D
they work well but softly
G
C
I don't scratch myself in sleep,
Am
I pass out like a baby
F
When I wake up I'm rested,
G
I'm calm and happy
E
Am
The only bad thing is the strange
E
dreams that haunt me
C
I'm deep in the woods,
G
in a village with teepees
Am
The branches from old
G
oak trees hang heavy
F
C
D
A woman carrying a baby greets me, says she's glad that I came,
E
she's been trying to reach me
Am
E
She shows me around, the villagers are happy,
C
Am
they give me some wine and flowers to greet me
F
Their society's based on a
C
loose form of anarchy
D
They've dealt with the climate,
E
injustice and patriarchy
Am
Cause this is the future,
E
I can tell from their technology
G
C
But they use it for good,
D
Am
and they use it so sparsely
F
They are not but slaves under
C
their own machinery
D
The cogwheels turn only when
E
they think it's necessary
C
And the woman grabs my arm,
G
she looks me in the eye
Am
She's contacted me,
G
cause she's worried about her time
F
C
This fu ture is only one of many lies
D
E
That we can potentially walk down,
Am
you and I
D
When I wake up I giggle,
Am
cause it seems kinda cringey
D
I think about their village,
Am
what a bunch of fucking hippies
D
This must be because I
Am
read that book by
Marge
Piercy
F
Where some people from the
E
future make contact with
Connie
D
A wo man in a mental institu
G
Am
tion in the seventies
D
And show her the world as one
G
Am
of many possibilities
D
And instill in her the hope to
Am
G
fight for humanity
Am
F
I love that book,
E
but as a document of history
C
Cause now it seems strange to
G
hope for anything at all
Am
When every step forward
G
seems in finitely small
F
Save the polar caps from melting
C
by recycling milk bottles
All the
D
E
CEOs are flying their pets to ski lodges
C
How vulnerable it is when someone
G
says what they want
Am
Instead of just saying
G
what they don't want
F
How easy it is to laugh at
C
someone's utopia
D
E
After decades of being spoon -fed dystopia
Am
E
I rub my cordless anointment on my eczema
G
C
I take my sedatives and crawl
Am
up to the heater
F
Keep treating the outside,
C
ignoring the inside
D
Keep treating the symptoms,
E
not the root of the problems
Am
And in my next dream the
E
woman's back again
C
And this time she's shouting,
Am
cause her signal is fading
F
C
D
I wake up sweating, my skin is itching I put some ice on it,
E
then sit down in the
kitchen
C
And outside the leaves
G
are slowly falling
Am
over pigeons, building
G
F
CEOs and children I'm gripped
C
by a love for this world that
we live in.
D
And I think about a quote from
E
Ursula
Le
Guin,
C
we live in capitalism,
G
its power seems inescapable.
Am
G
So did the divine right of kings.
F
C
Any human power can be resisted
D
E
and changed by human beings.
Am
E
There's a dying light in the distance
C
Am
that beckons, as the clocks are rapidly running out of seconds,
F
C
this is where I get off,
reckon.
D
Take care of yourself, your friend

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.”
