    Verse 1
    When 
    the 
    roots 
    of 
    the 
    tree 

    Are 
    as 
    cold 
    as 
    can 
    be 

    When 
    the 
    wind 
    and 
    the 
    sea 

    Are 
    the 
    moth 
    and 
    the 
    bee 

    When 
    the 
    rays 
    of 
    the 
    sun 

    Lick 
    your 
    skin 

    With 
    its 
    tongue 

    And 
    the 
    grass 
    with 
    its 
    green 

    And 
    the 
    grass 
    with 
    its 
    green 

    And 
    the 
    shine 
    with 
    its 
    sheen 

    And 
    the 
    shine 
    with 
    its 
    sheen 

    And 
    the 
    trains 
    with 
    their 
    tracks 

    And 
    the 
    spines 
    with 
    their 
    back
    s 

    And 
    your 
    sway 
    with 
    its 
    slow 

    And 
    the 
    wind 
    with 
    its 
    blow 

    And 
    your 
    scream 
    with 
    its 
    sound 

    I 
    don't 
    play 
    rock 
    and 
    roll 

    And 
    the 
    people 
    with 
    their 
    lungs 

    And 
    the 
    people 
    with 
    their 
    paws 

    If 
    the 
    sky 
    were 
    a stone 

    Made 
    of 
    lips, 
    made 
    of 
    bones 

    Count 
    my 
    teeth, 
    keep 
    the 
    time

    • 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.”
