  • Verse 1
    Saint Stephen with a rose, in and out of the garden 

    he goes 

    Country 
    garden 
    in the wind and 

    the rain 

    Wherever 
    he goes the 
    people all complain 

    Verse 2
    Stephen prospered 
    in his time, 

    well he may and 
    he 
    may decline 

    Did 
    it matter, 
    does 
    it now? Stephen 

    would answer if 
    he only 
    knew 
    how 

    Wishing 
    well 
    with 
    golden 
    bell, 

    bucket 
    hanging 
    clear 
    to 
    hell 

    Hell halfway 
    twixt 
    now 
    and 
    then 

    Stephen 
    fill 
    it up 
    and 
    lower 
    down 

    and 
    lower 
    down 
    again 

    Verse 3

    Lady 
    finger, 
    dipped 
    in 
    moonlight, 

    writing 
    "What 
    for?" 
    across 
    the 
    morning 
    sky 

    Sun
    light 
    splatters, dawn 
    with 
    answer

    darkness 
    shrugs 
    and 
    bids 
    the 
    day 
    goodbye 

    Verse 4
    Speed
    ing 
    arrow, 

    sharp 
    and 
    nar
    row 

    What 
    lot 
    of 
    fleet
    ing 
    matters 

    you 
    have 
    spurned 

    Sev
    eral 
    sea
    sons 
    with 
    their 
    treason

    Wrap 
    the 
    babe 
    in 
    scarlet 
    colors, 

    call 
    it 
    your 
    own 


    Did 
    he 
    doubt 
    or 
    did 
    he 
    try? 
    Answers 

    aplenty 
    in the 
    bye 
    and 
    bye 

    Talk 
    about 
    your plenty, 
    talk 
    about 
    your ills 

    One 
    man 
    gathers 
    what 
    another 
    man 
    spill

    Interlude 1







    Verse 5
    Saint 
    Stephen 
    will 
    remain, 

    all 
    he's lost 
    he 
    shall 
    regain 

    Seashore 
    washed 
    by 
    the 
    suds 
    and 
    foam, 

    Been 
    here 
    so 
    long, 

    he's got 
    to calling 
    it 
    home 

    Verse 6
    Fortune 
    comes 
    a crawlin', 
    calliope 
    woman, 

    spin
    nin' 
    that 
    curious 
    sense 
    of 
    your 
    own 

    Can 
    you 
    answer, 
    yes 
    can 

    But 
    what 
    would 
    be 
    the 

    answer 
    to 
    the 
    answer 
    man?

    • 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.
