Do you still sing of the mountain bed

you over with leaves

Face, breast, hips, and thighs

Rosin smells and turpentine smells

from eucalyptus and pine

Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where

tangled wood vines twine

Trees held us in on all four sides
Em

so thick we could not see

I could not see any wrong in you,

Verse 3
D
A

Your arm was brown against the ground,

your cheeks part of the sky

Your fingers played with grassy moss,

as limber you did lie

G

Your stomach moved beneath your shirt
Em
G

and your knees were in the air
D
C

Your feet played games with mountain
Em
G
D

roots as you lay thinking there
Verse 4

D
A

Below us the trees grew clumps of trees,
G

raised families of trees, and they

As proud as we tossed their heads in the
D
A

wind and flung good seeds away
Bm
G

The sun was hot and the sun was bright
Em
G

down in the valley below
D
C

Where people starved and hungry for
G

life so empty come and go

D
A

There in the shade and hid from the sun we
G
Em

freed our minds and learned

Our greatest reason for being here,
D
A

our bodies moved and burned
Bm

There on our mountain bed of leaves
Em
G

we learned life's reason why
D
C

The people laugh and love and dream,
G
D

they fight, they hate to die
Verse 6
D
A

The smell of your hair I know is still there,
G

if most of our leaves are blown

Our words still ring in the brush and the trees
D
A

where singing seeds are sown
Bm
G

Your shape and form is dim but plain,
Em
G

there on our mountain bed

I see my life was brightest where you laughed

and laid your head

I learned the reason why man must work
G

and how to dream big dreams

To conquer time and space and
D
A

fight the rivers and the seas
Bm
G

I stand here filled with my emptiness
Em
G

now and look at city and land
D
C
G

And I know why farms and cities are built by hot,
D

warm, nervous hands
Verse 8
D
A

I crossed many states just to stand here now,
G

my face all hot with tears

I crossed city, and valley, desert,
D
A

and stream, to bring my body here
Bm

My history and future blaze bright
Em
G

in me and all my joy and pain
D

Go through my head on our mountain
G

bed where I smell your hair again.

All this day long I linger here and
Bm

on in through the night

My greed's, desires, my cravings,

hopes, my dreams inside me fight

My loneliness healed, my emptiness filled,
Em

I walk above all pain
D

Back to the breast of my woman and child
G

to scatter my seeds again

  • 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.
