  • Verse 1
    Seven 
    is
    lands 
    to 
    the high 
    side 
    of 
    the bay, 

    'cross 
    the bay 

    To 
    the sun
    set 
    through 
    the blue 
    light 

    of 
    a fiery 
    au
    tumn 
    haze 

    We went 
    walking 
    on 
    the high 
    side 

    of 
    the bay 
    on 
    a chilly 
    morn 

    And 
    we saw 
    how 
    leaves 
    had 
    fallen 
    on 

    the beds 
    where trees 
    were born 

    Any 
    man 
    in his 
    right 
    mind 

    could not 
    fail 
    to be 
    made 
    aware 

    Any 
    woman 
    with 
    a gift 
    of wisdom 
    would 

    not 
    seek 
    her 
    an
    swers 
    there 

    Verse 2

    Seven 
    islands 
    to 
    the high 
    side 
    of 

    the bay 
    if you're 
    looking 
    west

    To 
    the sunset 
    you can 
    see 
    it, 

    all 
    in 
    fiery 
    au
    tumn 
    dress 

    Anytime 
    would be 
    the 
    right 
    time 
    to 

    come 
    up 
    to your 
    bed 
    of boughs 

    Anybody 
    with 
    a wish 
    to wander 

    could not 
    fail 
    but to 
    be 
    aroused 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Living 
    high 
    in 
    the 
    city, 

    guess 
    you think 
    it's 
    a pretty 
    good 
    way 

    You get 
    to 
    learn but when 
    you 
    get burned 

    you 
    got 
    nothing 
    to say 

    You seem 
    to 
    think 
    because 
    you 
    got 

    chicken 
    to go 
    you're 
    in luck 

    Fortune 
    will not 
    find 
    you 
    in 
    your mansion 

    or 
    your truck

    Brothers 
    will 
    desert 
    you 
    when 
    you're down 

    and 
    shit 
    out of luck

    Interlude 2

    Verse 4
    Look 
    around 
    at the 
    morning, 

    guess 
    you're doing 
    the 
    best 
    you can 

    Surely 
    you 
    know 
    that when 
    you 
    go 

    nobody 
    gives 
    you a hand 

    Think 
    of the 
    air 
    you're breathing 
    in, 

    think 
    of the 
    time 
    you waste 

    Think 
    of the 
    right 
    and wrong 

    Verse 5
    and consider 
    the frown 
    on your face 

    It's time 
    you 
    tried 
    living 
    on 
    the 
    high 
    side 
    of 
    the bay, 

    you 
    need 
    a rest 

    Any 
    woman 
    or 
    a man 
    with 
    wish 
    to 

    fade 
    away 
    could be 
    so 
    blessed 

    Fortune 
    will not 
    find 
    you 
    in 

    your mansion 
    turned 
    to gold 

    Brothers 
    will 
    desert 
    you 
    when 

    your nights 
    turn 
    long 
    and 
    cold 

    If 
    you feel 
    Verse 6
    it 
    you 
    better 
    be
    lieve 
    it, 

    you're gonna 
    see 
    it, 
    so 
    you really 
    know 

    It 
    is rising 
    like 
    a feather, 

    dipping 
    and dan
    cing 
    from 
    below 

    There's 
    a new 
    wave 
    that is 
    breaking 

    in 
    the 
    wake 
    of 
    passing 
    ship 

    Every 
    na
    tion's 
    gonna 
    be shaken, 

    put 
    it to
    gether, 
    don't 
    let it slip 

    Verse 7
    It's time 
    you 
    tried 
    living 
    on 
    the 
    high 
    side 
    of 
    the bay, 

    you 
    need 
    a rest 

    Any 
    man 
    or 
    a woman 
    with 
    wish 
    to 

    fade 
    away 
    could be 
    so 
    blessed

    • 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.
