    Verse 1
    Here 
    comes 
    the mechanical 

    sun 

    Working 
    on 
    the bones 
    in the 

    dry 
    old 
    creek 
    bed 

    Mist 
    on 
    the 
    old 
    river 
    bend 
    yellow 

    box 
    hang
    like 
    it's 
    dead 

    The 
    emerald 
    silo 
    is 
    rusting 
    from 
    the inside. 

    Verse 2
    You 
    want 
    to 
    run 
    like 
    the wind 
    you'll

    come 
    here 
    again 

    You

    Verse 3

    Circus 
    olympia 
    pulls 
    into 
    town 

    The 
    dwarf 
    and 
    the fat 
    man 

    head 
    out for 
    beer 

    There 
    is 
    no 
    lion 
    that 
    roars 
    to 

    one 
    can stand 
    on 
    the 
    horse 

    To
    morrow 
    is 
    a no show 

    the 
    fortune 
    teller 
    cries. 

    Verse 4

    You 
    want 
    to 
    go 
    down 
    in 
    flames 
    you're 

    gonna 
    crash 
    like 
    the 
    waves 

    You 
    can't 
    remem
    ber 
    your 
    name 
    so come 
    on

    • 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.
