    • Verse 1
    I'm 
    going 
    to find 
    me 
    a dying 
    river 

    And 
    strike 
    a deal 
    with her 
    I'll 
    say, 

    "I'll 
    fold 
    you in 
    two 
    and 

    I'll 
    carry 
    you 
    away 

    To 
    a 
    place 
    where your 

    headwaters 
    will 
    flow 

    Clean 
    through to 
    your 
    mouth." 

    Verse 2
    In re
    turn 
    I'll 
    request 
    a small 
    sanctuary 

    By 
    her 
    banks 
    where 
    we will 
    live 

    with 
    our small 
    family 

    She will 
    water 
    our 
    garden 

    and clean the 
    dirt from 
    our skin. 

    While 
    the world 
    clam
    ours 
    at 
    our 
    door 

    We will 
    dance 
    and not 
    let 
    them 
    in. 

    Verse 3
    And if one 
    day 
    we wake 
    up 

    to a bed 
    dry 
    as 
    a bone 

    Find 
    our 
    river stolen, 

    find 
    our 
    sanctuary 
    gone 

    We will 
    stand 
    and take 

    stock 
    and be 
    grateful 

    For 
    what we've 
    not 
    lost. 

    Verse 4
    We will 
    pack 
    up 
    our 
    bags, 

    pack 
    our small 
    family 

    Head across 
    the 
    valley 
    to 

    where the 
    aspen 
    trees 

    Shiver 
    as 
    they ascend 
    - the green 

    hills 
    rising 
    to 
    blue. 

    At the 
    edge 
    of 
    the chopping 

    we will 
    turn 

    And bid 
    fond 
    "adieu". 


    Verse 5
    All 
    that 
    I 
    know 
    to 
    be 
    true 

    Is 
    the touch 
    of 
    your 
    hand 
    on 
    my skin. 

    One 
    look 
    from 
    you 
    can 
    so 
    easily 
    soothe 

    All 
    this 
    turmoil 
    within 

    Verse 6
    As 
    we 
    dance 
    cheek 
    to cheek 

    With 
    our 
    feet 
    so 
    completely 

    Locked 
    in 
    a time 
    all 
    our 
    own. 

    I 
    stop 
    to speak 

    But 
    you 
    gently 
    keep 
    me 

    Moving 
    in time 
    to 
    the song. 

    And in 
    a 
    voice 
    that 
    is sloppy 

    with 
    gin 

    You say, 
    "let 
    the 
    world spin." 

    Verse 7

    I'm going 
    to find 
    me 
    a dying 
    river 

    And strike 
    a deal 
    with her 
    I'll say, 

    "I'll 
    fold 
    you in 
    two 
    and 

    I'll 
    carry 
    you 
    away 

    To 
    place 
    where 
    your headwaters 

    will flow 

    Clean through to 
    your 
    mouth." 

    Verse 8
    In 
    re
    turn 
    I'll 
    request 
    a small 
    sanctuary 

    By her 
    banks 
    where 
    we will 
    live 

    with 
    our small 
    family 

    She will 
    water 
    our 
    garden 
    and clean the 

    dirt from 
    our skin. 

    While the 
    world 
    clam
    ours 
    at 
    our 
    door 

    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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
