Verse 1
C
I will sing of you now,
Dm
old friend of a child's time
F
When the memories grow stronger,
C
as the hard times are dead
And I see you so clear,
Dm
your old cloth cap and blue eyes
F
And your words and your laughter
C
Em
Am
F
C
still ring in my head
I know at times when I thought
Dm
That life could not change you
F
C
For you were of iron, unhard as a stone
Then I lifted the veil and I saw you were
Dm
fooling
F
For gentle, hurt -easy,
C
like a child you were lost
Em
Am
For time and the river,
Em
they roll on together
F
Who knows where we're going
G
to or where we come from
C
Oh
Em
Am
John, there was no
one to touch you
F

Dm
Lord knows I miss you
C

C
Now that you've gone
And I saw through your eyes that the snow,
Dm
it lay whiter
F
That the deeps, they were deeper,
C
that the summers ran drier
And the rivers were oceans,
Am
Dm
deep rolling splendor
F
The trees, were giants that
C
talked with the sky
F
C
F
C
Then one morning
they found you like
Dm
Like a child's if sleeping
F
But open hand stretching
C
Wide eye to the sky
And the void that you left
Dm
Was too deep for the filling
F
And the love that you gave us,
C
oh, it never will die
G
Am
For time and the river,
Em
they roll on together
F
And those where we've gone
G
to are where we come from

John, there was no one to touch you

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
