    Gold 
    would 
    be 

    worthless 
    if 
    it 
    didn't 
    require 

    Such 
    heart
    break 
    to seek, 

    to 
    find 
    it 
    and 
    mine 
    it 

    Thing
    s remain 
    precious 
    the 

    more 
    that they're 
    rare 

    If 
    gold 
    could 
    be found 
    lying 

    round 
    everywhere 

    Could 
    be the 
    lowli
    est 
    of 
    metals, 

    too 
    soft 
    for 
    serious 
    use 

    It's 
    pretty, 
    of course, 

    and 
    warm 
    to 
    the 
    touch 

    But 
    no 
    longer 
    will 
    you ring 
    when 

    you've 
    handled 
    so 
    much 

    The 
    lowest 
    of 
    the doors 

    Will 
    you 
    come 
    with me 

    Through 
    the 
    ice 
    and 
    the snow 

    She 
    thought 
    for 
    a 
    moment 

    Then 
    she said, 
    let's go 

    I 
    rode 
    behind 
    her 

    And 
    she'd 
    hold her 
    head 

    And 
    all 
    through 
    that 
    winter 

    I'd 
    lose 
    her 
    and 
    find her 

    Ration
    s ran 
    out 

    Horses 
    were dead 

    She 
    for
    got what 
    gold 
    was 

    And 
    I 
    had 
    to 
    remind 
    her 

    The 
    loneli
    est 
    of 
    metals 

    Too 
    soft 
    for 
    serious 
    use. 

    Pretty 
    of 
    course, 
    warm 
    to 
    the 
    touch, 

    But 
    no 
    longer 
    will 
    you ring, 

    When you've 
    handled 
    so 
    much, 

    The 
    lowli
    est 
    of 
    letters. 

    In 
    a prospector's 
    shack, 

    she 
    lay 
    out 
    of her 
    mind 

    Describ
    ing 
    how 
    simple 

    gold 
    is 
    to find

    Just 
    under 
    the 
    surface, 
    in 
    zigzagging 
    planes 

    It 
    lies 
    there 
    like 
    branches 

    amid
    st 
    all 
    the lightning 

    You 
    just 
    open 
    a 
    hole 
    in 

    the crust 
    of 
    the 
    flame 

    You 
    reach 
    in, 
    she said, 

    and it's 
    there 
    for 
    the 
    tak
    ing 

    The 
    lowli
    est 
    of 
    metals 

    So 
    blind 
    and starving, 
    I 
    sat by 
    her 
    side 

    As 
    the 
    fever 
    raged 
    in 
    her, 

    and the storm 
    raged 

    outside 

    She 
    said, 
    now we 
    are 
    rich, 
    I 
    told 
    her 
    the 

    Well, 
    gold 
    that we'd 
    found 

    would 
    not 
    crown 
    a tooth 

    She 
    said, 
    these things 
    I 

    know 
    without 
    being 
    told 

    We 
    are rich 
    in 
    each 
    other, 

    now 
    what 
    good is 
    gold? 

    It's 
    the 
    loneli
    est 
    of 
    the 

    blues 

    Now 
    sometimes 
    I 
    dream 
    that 
    the 
    world 
    is reversed 

    I 
    dream 
    that 
    accountants 
    are 
    rarer 
    than 
    po
    ets 

    That 
    things 
    will 
    get 
    better 
    if 
    they 

    can
    't 
    get any 
    worse 

    But 
    a 
    rich man 
    has 
    nothing 

    but 
    dirt 
    in 
    his purse 

    Gold 
    is the 
    lowli
    est 
    of 
    metals 

    It's 
    too soft 
    for 
    serious 
    use 

    It's 
    pretty, 
    of course, 

    warm 
    to 
    the 
    touch 

    But 
    no 
    longer 
    will 
    your ring, 
    if 
    you've 
    handled 
    too 
    much, 

    the 
    lowli
    est 
    of 
    metals.

      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 🙂

      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.
