    Verse 1
    She's 
    weaving 

    him 
    pillow 
    full 
    of 
    dreams 

    Soft 
    winter 
    wool 
    and 
    summer 
    fleas 

    The 
    colors 
    of 
    the 
    berries 
    that 

    grow 
    among 
    the 
    hills 

    Strands 
    of 
    cloudy 
    gray 
    and 

    deep 
    blue 
    indigo 

    And 
    she sits 
    beside 
    the 
    open 

    door 
    in 
    the 
    evening 
    sun 

    Combs 
    the 
    carded 
    wool 
    in 
    her 
    lash, 

    her 
    long 
    hair 
    all 
    un
    done 

    Talk
    ing 
    to 
    the 
    one 
    she 
    loves 
    as 

    she 
    weaves 
    the 
    henspun 
    yarn. 

    Like 
    web 
    around 
    her 
    there 
    to 

    keep 
    her 
    safe 
    from 
    harm. 

    She 
    dances 
    in 
    his 
    heart 
    like 
    feather

    So 
    fine 
    the 
    threads 
    that 
    bind 
    the 

    souls 
    together 

    She's 
    weaving 
    him 

    pillow 
    for 
    his 
    head 

    Sometimes 
    the 
    strongest 
    love 
    hangs 
    by 

    such 
    slender 
    thread 

    He 
    always 
    loved 
    to 
    sing 
    those 

    country 
    song

    About 
    his 
    mountain 
    home 

    and 
    love 
    gone 
    wrong 

    That 
    one 
    about 
    an old 
    friend 
    ridin' 

    with 
    the 
    highway 
    signs 

    But 
    his 
    favorites 
    were 
    the 
    ones 
    he 

    could 
    play 
    between 
    the 
    lines 

    He 
    would 
    sit 
    on 
    her 
    porch 

    in 
    the 
    evening 
    light 

    With 
    his 
    guitar 
    in 
    his 
    hands, 

    singing 
    to 
    the 
    night 

    Weaving 
    pictures 
    in 
    her 
    mind, 

    with 
    every 
    single 
    word 

    But 
    the 
    songs 
    he 
    wrote 
    for 
    her 

    were 
    the 
    only 
    ones 
    she 
    heard. 

    She 
    had 
    his 
    drifter's 

    heart 
    on 
    teth
    er. 

    So 
    fine 
    the 
    threads 
    that 
    bound 

    these 
    souls 
    together. 

    She'd 
    love 
    to 
    hear 
    him 
    sing, 

    that's 
    what 
    she 
    said. 

    Sometimes 
    the 
    strongest 
    love 
    hangs 
    by 
    such 
    slender 
    thread. 

    Interlude 1



    See 
    Verse 2
    him 
    lyin' 
    there 
    with 

    broken 
    bones 

    And 
    child's 
    smile 
    on 
    man 
    full 
    grown 

    If 
    he'd 
    gone 
    just 
    another 
    inch, 

    by 
    now 
    he 
    would 
    be dead. 

    At 
    times 
    life 
    can 
    hang 
    by 

    such 
    slender 
    thread. 

    He 
    can 
    only 
    thank 
    his 
    stars 

    for 
    another 
    day 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    has 
    to 
    choose 
    to 

    live 
    another 
    way 

    He 
    can't 
    ask 
    her 
    how, 

    this 
    time 
    she's 
    already 
    said 

    That 
    fine 
    line 
    that 
    you 
    walk 
    is 

    just 
    slender 
    thread 

    She 
    knows 
    his 
    heart 
    can 

    be 
    as 
    tough 
    as 
    leather 

    So 
    strong 
    the 
    threads 

    that 
    bind 
    these 
    souls 

    togeth
    er 

    But 
    still 
    he 
    counts 
    the 
    scars 

    inside 
    his 
    head 

    Sometimes 
    the 
    strongest 
    love 
    hangs 

    by 
    such 
    slender 
    thread 

    She's 
    weaving 
    him 
    pillow 
    for 

    his 
    head

    • 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.
