  • Verse 1
    As 
    you lie 
    before 
    me now, 

    like 
    a shad
    ow 

    On 
    a pea 
    green 
    sea 

    Never 
    thought 
    that I 
    could find 

    you so 
    hol
    low 

    Laying 
    into 
    me 

    Verse 2

    But this 
    cup 
    of wine 

    All salt 
    and brine 
    makes 
    me sleepy 

    And 
    sorrow 
    sows 

    field 
    of 
    tears 
    that will 

    never 
    yield 
    single 
    penny 

    But 
    don't 
    know 

    I've got 
    nothing 
    to 
    hold 

    on 
    to 

    Wished 
    for gold 
    so 
    could buy 
    Verse 3
    you 
    a palace 

    By 
    the riverside 

    You'd 
    come 
    in 
    and 
    would fill 

    your 
    diamond 
    chalice 

    You were still 
    alive 

    Verse 4

    But 
    this 
    cup 
    of wine 

    All salt 
    and brine 
    makes 
    me sleepy 

    And 
    sorrow 
    sows 

    A field 
    of 
    tears 
    that will 

    never 
    yield 
    a single 
    penny 

    But 
    don't 
    know 

    I've 
    got 
    nothing 
    to 
    hold 
    on 
    to 

    I've 
    got 
    nothing 
    to 
    hold 
    on

    • 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.
