Am
Em
Am

From

the point he gazed from the choice was made,
Em

but 'walk the cave or the shore?'

The oily cave seemed to breathe on

him through gravestone jaws
Am

His little hand grasped in anguish as

he weighed up his coin
Em

Somewhere a blue-eyed girl girl in the world

is just waiting for a boy
Am

Footprints trailed as if trod by slaves

up to the grey cave floor
Em

But not one graze from anything

ever escaping this fort
Am

So with coin on hand his joy came back

when ordered to take the shore
Em

'Why on earth', as he wandered the warmth,
Verse 2

'am I obeying this coin?'
Am

Turn your life on the flip of this coin
Em

Turn upside a choice

you'd normally avoid
Am

And promise me you'll follow what it says
Em

Whatever it says
Verse 3
Am

Again, walk within the trusted beach

or swim the swell of the sea?
Em

And again the scarier alternative looked

like certain death to he
Am

He'd never learnt to skill of swimming

- it never occurred to be very easy
Em

And again he winced as he flipped

the coin and it twirled to his feet
Am

'How is this sane?' he blamed

the coin now aiming for the waves
Em

As he hesitated at the swirl of water

as it raged and rained
Am

Blue-eyed girls girls were waiting and

he was drowning in the spray
Em

Blue-eyed girls girls he should have been
Verse 4

acquainted with but for shouting and flailing
Am

Turn your life on the flip of this coin
Em

Turn upside a choice

you'd normally avoid
Am

And promise me you'll follow what it says
Em

Whatever it says
Verse 5
Em

He finally slugs it back to land feeling

chewed-up and and foolish
B

Empties his pockets on the sand
Em

spewing a pool each

Staggers back to his dad

who's too cool to be
B
Baug

So he says 'why did you have me
Em

follow this stupid rule, please?'
Am

To be honest little fellow I'll tell you

I was just as afraid as you
Em

But you said you wanted to get with

people and places ever new
Am

And I got a bit scared of the fate

of my baby son's future
Em

So I invented a reason to see

if you could ever make do
Am

As soon as you appeared behind

that rock looking angry at me
Em

I soon realized what a hell of

a man you've ended up being
Am

I knew you'd worked out how to

swim, which I hadn't had in me
Em

And I stand as a companion of you,

proudest a man has ever been
Verse 6
Am

Turn your life on the flip of this coin
Em

Turn upside a choice

you'd normally avoid
Am

And promise me you'll follow
Em

what it says

  • 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.
