    Verse 1
    "Oh 
    I 
    know 

    that you 
    are an artist" 
    she 
    said 

    "For you 
    make 
    your song

    s 
    out 
    of clay 

    You 
    carry 
    the 
    dust 
    on your 

    hands 
    and your face 

    You 
    never 
    quite 
    brushed 
    it away 

    You were 
    trying 
    to 
    chisel 
    a 
    perfect 
    truth 

    When 
    the instrument 
    broke 

    in your 
    hand 

    Now you 
    sit 
    all 
    alone 
    on the 

    greenhouse 
    roof 

    With your 
    shoes 
    full 
    of sand" 


    And 
    the 
    golden 
    rays 
    of 
    the sun 
    divide 

    In 
    the 
    slanting 
    mists 
    of 
    the rain 

    And 
    Maggie 
    is 
    on 
    the road 
    again 

    Verse 2

    "Oh 
    I 
    know 
    that you 
    were a sail

    or" 
    she 
    said 

    "'Til 
    you 
    came 
    too 
    close 
    to the shore 

    And 
    like 
    any 
    shipwrecked 
    sailor 
    now 

    You 
    live 
    by 
    an open 
    door 

    And when 
    evening 
    sails 

    in the masts 
    of the trees 

    Your 
    feet 
    seem 
    to slip 
    on 
    the ground 

    And you 
    long 
    for 
    the 
    little 
    ship 

    In 
    which 
    you can 
    safely 
    drown" 

    And the 
    silver 
    mounds 
    of the waves 
    divide 

    At 
    the feet 
    of 
    the wind 
    and the 
    rain 

    And 
    Maggie 
    is 
    far 
    at 
    sea 
    again 

    Verse 3
    "0h 
    I 
    know 
    that you 
    were an 

    out
    law" 
    she 
    said 

    "And you 
    robbed 
    both 

    the 
    rich 
    and the poor 

    Now 
    you 
    seek 
    my 
    bed 
    like 

    a sanc
    tuary 

    But you 
    keep 
    one 
    eye 
    on 
    the door 

    And 
    you 
    press 
    my 
    hand 
    in 

    the dead 
    of 
    the night 

    And 
    say 
    I 
    can 
    heal 
    all 
    your 
    wounds 

    In the 
    morning 
    your 
    eyes 
    just 

    look 
    hunted 
    again 

    You'll be 
    leaving 
    soon" 

    And the 
    silver, 
    rays 
    of 
    the moon 
    divide 

    In 
    the slanting 
    mists 
    of the 
    rain 

    And 
    Maggie 
    is 
    on 
    the prowl 
    again 

    Verse 4

    "So 
    I 
    know 
    that you 
    are an 

    artist" 
    she 
    said 

    "And you 
    make 
    your song

    s 
    out of 
    clay 

    For you 
    carry 
    the dust 

    on your hands 
    and your 
    face 

    You 
    never 
    quite 
    brushed 
    it away 

    And you 
    work 
    with 
    your back 

    to an 
    open 
    door 

    While 
    the light 
    is beginning 
    to 
    fade 

    And 
    the 
    windows 
    are 
    liquid 

    the 
    sky 
    is 
    alive 

    And the 
    night 
    is 
    jade"And the 

    silver 
    rays 
    of the moon 
    divide 

    In 
    the slanting 
    mists 
    of the 
    rain 

    And 
    Maggie 
    is 
    on 
    the road 

    again 

    And the 
    silver 
    rays 
    of the moon 
    divide 

    At 
    the 
    feet 
    of the 
    wind 
    and 
    the rain 

    And 
    Maggie, 
    I'm 
    at 
    your door 
    again

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
