Verse 1
Em

He died with his boots on
C

in another man's bed
Em
C

The way he once said it would be
Em

He's a scoundrel, I guess,
C

just got what was due
Em
C

But he was always a good friend to me
D
Am

He talked of a girl he'd known long ago
Em

His eyes welled with tears
D

when he tried to explain

How the sound of her voice
Am

had made him feel whole
Em

And the smell of her skin,
C
D

like sage after rain
G

I'd go to East Colfax with
C

one of my friends
Em
C

Back in high school for something to do
Em

And that's where I met him
C

when he bought us some beer
Em
C

A six -pack if he could have two
G
D

He said, come back to my place
Am

you can drink it there safe
Em

don't worry it's cool
D

then he gave us his name

i paused at a picture
Am

and he told me about her
Em

and the smell of her skin

like sage after rain

Em

I'd go to his house
C

and we'd talk bulk for hours
Em

Pacing the floor
C

as he'd quote from his head
G
Em

There's an old royal typewriter,
C

a desk by a window,
Em
C

Three novels in boxes under his bed.
D

A drafty old house,
Am

his grandfather'd left him,
Em

He grew up in Boston,
D
C

came west on a train.
D

The snow -covered front range,
Am

and a lovely young teacher,
Em

The smell of her skin,
C
D

like sage after rain,
C
D

Like sage after rain
G
C
G

Like sage after rain
Am

She was killed in the wreck
G

that left him half broken
Am

He told me about it one
G

time and that's all
Am

Some people said it'd help
G

if she was driving
Am

He said that made less
G

than no difference at all.
D

He'd talk of her beauty,
Am

her ice and her fire.
Em

He'd smile when he'd

call her broad
D

with great brains.

But there was always respect,
Am

and his memories were tender
Em

in the smell of her skin,
C
D

like sage after rain,

They called me about him early one mornin'
Em

I made the arrangements
C

that sent him to burn
G
Em
C

No wife, no children, no next of kin there
Em

Like it said in his will,
C

they gave me the urn
D
C
D

I drove north to Wyoming
Am

in a late April drizzle
Em

A place where we'd hunted

on the Antelope Plains
Am

I spread him about in the place he'd chosen

A prayer and a breath of sage after rain

  • 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.
