    • Verse 1
    C

    I'm going to find me a dying river

    And strike a deal with her I'll say,
    F

    "I'll fold you in two and

    I'll carry you away
    C

    To a place where your

    headwaters will flow
    G

    Clean through to your mouth."
    Verse 2
    C

    In return I'll request a small sanctuary
    F

    By her banks where we will live

    with our small family
    C

    She will water our garden
    G

    and clean the dirt from our skin.
    F

    While the world clamours at our door
    G
    C

    We will dance and not let them in.
    Verse 3
    C

    And if one day we wake up

    to a bed dry as a bone
    F

    Find our river stolen,

    find our sanctuary gone
    C

    We will stand and take

    stock and be grateful
    G

    For what we've not lost.
    Verse 4
    C

    We will pack up our bags,

    pack our small family
    F

    Head across the valley to

    where the aspen trees
    C

    Shiver as they ascend - the green
    G

    hills rising to blue.
    F

    At the edge of the chopping
    G

    we will turn

    And bid fond "adieu".
    C

    Verse 5
    F
    C

    All that I know to be true
    G

    Is the touch of your hand on my skin.
    F
    C

    One look from you can so easily soothe
    G

    All this turmoil within
    Verse 6
    Dm

    As we dance cheek to cheek
    Am

    With our feet so completely
    C
    G

    Locked in a time all our own.
    Dm

    I stop to speak
    Am

    But you gently keep me
    C
    G

    Moving in time to the song.
    F

    And in a voice that is sloppy
    Am
    Dm

    with gin

    You say, "let the world spin."
    C
    Verse 7


    I'm going to find me a dying river

    And strike a deal with her I'll say,
    F

    "I'll fold you in two and

    I'll carry you away
    C

    To place where your headwaters

    will flow
    G

    Clean through to your mouth."
    Verse 8
    C

    In re turn I'll request a small sanctuary
    F

    By her banks where we will live

    with our small family
    C

    She will water our garden and clean the
    G

    dirt from our skin.
    F

    While the world clamours at our door
    G

    We will dance and not let them in.

    • 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.”
