Verse 1
G

She's weaving
C

him a pillow full of dreams
D
G

Soft winter wool and summer fleas

The colors of the berries that
Am

grow among the hills
D

Strands of cloudy gray and
C
G

deep blue indigo
Em
C

And she sits beside the open
G

door in the evening sun
Em
C

Combs the carded wool in her lash,
Am
D

her long hair all undone
G

Talking to the one she loves as
Am

she weaves the henspun yarn.
D

Like a web around her there to
C
G

keep her safe from harm.
Em
G

She dances in his heart like a feather
Em
C

So fine the threads that bind the
D
Am
D

souls together
G

She's weaving him a
C

pillow for his head
D

Sometimes the strongest love hangs by
C
G
C
G
D
C
G

such a slender thread

He always loved to sing those
C

country songs
D

About his mountain home
G

and love gone wrong

That one about an old friend ridin'
Am

with the highway signs
D

But his favorites were the ones he
C
G

could play between the lines
C

He would sit on her porch
G

in the evening light
Em
C

With his guitar in his hands,
Am
D

singing to the night
G

Weaving pictures in her mind,
Am

with every single word
D

But the songs he wrote for her
C
G

were the only ones she heard.
Em

She had his drifter's
G

heart on a tether.
Em
C

So fine the threads that bound
D
Am
D

these souls together.
G

She'd love to hear him sing,
C

that's what she said.
D

Sometimes the strongest love hangs by such a slender thread.

him lyin' there with
C

broken bones
D
G

And a child's smile on a man full grown
D
C
G

If he'd gone just another inch,
Am

by now he would be dead.
D

At times a life can hang by
C
G

such a slender thread.
C

He can only thank his stars
G

for another day
Em
C

And then he has to choose to
Am
D

live another way
G

He can't ask her how,
Am

this time she's already said
D

That fine line that you walk is
C
G

just a slender thread
Em

She knows his heart can
G

be as tough as leather
Em

So strong the threads
C

that bind these souls
D

together
G

But still he counts the scars
C

inside his head
D

Sometimes the strongest love hangs
C

by such a slender thread

  • 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.
