    Verse 1
    When we 
    all ran 
    back 
    into 
    the briars 


    We told 
    our children 
    about the 

    foreign 
    shore 

    When we 
    threw 
    our boots 
    into the 
    fire

    about the 
    tug 
    of war 

    Verse 2
    Gonna 
    tell 
    them about the 
    seed 
    and the

    prison 
    and 
    the promised 
    land

    tell 
    them about the 

    dream 
    of

    and 
    the healing 
    hand, 

    that hand 

    Verse 3
    Cause 
    the music

    the endless 
    song 

    Verse 4
    When 
    we 
    held 
    our word

    up in the 
    mirror 

    We 
    told 
    our children 
    how 

    to hold 
    their tongues 

    When we 
    held 
    our heads 
    beneath 
    the 
    river 

    We 
    told 
    them all 
    about the 
    iron 
    lung 

    Verse 5
    Gonna 
    tell them 
    about the

    the ju
    bilee

    the roots 
    in

    in the 
    quiet 
    line 
    of trees 


    Verse 6
    Cause 
    the music

    the endless 
    song 


    Verse 7
    All our 
    morning 
    kisses 
    in the 
    covers 

    And 
    told our 
    children 
    what 

    'worthy' means 

    And 
    then you 
    wrapped 
    your 

    arms 
    around 
    another 

    And told 
    them what 
    was worth 

    a pile 
    of beans 

    Verse 8
    Gonna 
    tell them 
    about the 
    call 
    of the 
    ocean 


    About the 
    singers 
    and 
    the endless 
    song 

    Gonna 
    tell them 
    about the 

    body 
    and

    first 
    born 
    sucker

    spider's 
    web 

    Verse 10
    Cause 
    the music 
    never 
    lasts 
    too long 

    for the

    the endless 
    song 

    About 
    the mind 
    and 
    the muscle 

    and 
    the weary

    up 
    truth 

    in 
    the 
    perfect 
    teeth

    wheat 

    Cause the music 
    never 
    lasts 
    too long

    when 
    the cold 
    wind blows

    the music 
    never 
    lasts 
    too long 
    for 

    the singers 
    and 
    the 
    endless 
    song 

    About the lame 
    duck lion 

    and the 
    thorny 
    crown 

    About 
    the proud 
    punk 
    mule 
    and 

    the heavy 
    plow

    song 

    About the sunburned 
    belly 

    and the 
    mother's 
    moon 

    About 
    the end 
    of the 
    music 

    coming 
    way too

    • 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.
