    Verse 1
    When 
    the 

    wild-eyed 
    dogs 
    dogs 
    of day 
    to day 

    Come 
    snapping 
    at your heels 

    And 
    there's 
    so 
    much 
    coming 
    at 
    you 

    That 
    you don't 
    know 
    how 
    to feel 

    When 
    they've 
    taken 
    all 
    your 
    money 

    And 
    then come 
    back 
    for your clothes 

    When 
    your 
    hands 
    are full 
    of thorns 

    But you 
    can't 
    quit 
    groping 
    for 
    the rose 

    In 
    the south
    Verse 2
    land 
    of 
    the heart 

    Where 
    night 
    blooms 
    perfume 
    the 
    breeze 

    Lie 
    down 

    Take 
    your rest 
    with 
    me 

    Verse 3
    When 
    thoughts 
    you've tried 

    to leave 
    be
    hind 

    Keep 
    sniping 
    from 
    the dark 

    When 
    the 
    fire 
    burns 
    in
    side 
    you 
    but 

    You jump 
    from 
    every spark 

    When 
    your 
    heart's 
    beset 

    by 
    memories 

    You wish 
    you'd never 
    made 

    When 
    the 
    sun 
    comes 
    up 
    an 
    enemy 

    And 
    nothing 
    gives 
    you shade 

    In 
    the south
    Verse 4
    land 
    of 
    the 
    heart 

    Where 
    the saints 
    go 
    lazily 

    Lie 
    down 

    Take 
    your rest 
    with 
    me 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 5
    When 
    the 
    preacher 
    lays 
    his 
    insight 
    down 

    And 
    claims 
    to lead 
    the blind 

    When 
    those 
    you trust 
    just get 

    you 
    hooked 

    And trifle 
    with your mind 

    When 
    the 
    nightmare's 
    creeping 
    closer 

    And 
    your wheels 
    are 
    in the mud 

    When 
    everything's 
    am
    biguous 

    Except 
    the taste 
    of blood 

    In the 
    south
    Verse 6
    land 
    of 
    the 
    heart 

    There's 
    no 
    question 
    of 
    degree 

    Lie 
    down 

    Take 
    your rest 
    with 
    me 

    Verse 7
    In 
    the southland 
    of 
    the 
    heart 

    Every
    one 
    was 
    always 
    free 

    Lie down 

    Take 
    your rest 
    with 
    me

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
