Verse 1

Silver, the moon high over pond,

of water calm and dark

Woe, mist, the breath of the dragon,

sweeping down mountain side

All still, the day asleep,

the sun rests in nest of the Gods

Afar high adventures await me,

I hear my brothers calling

Bare feet, let your hair down,

like the mist a (D major) cross the pond

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
