    Verse 1
    The 
    river 
    whispers 

    in 
    my 
    ear 

    I've 
    hardly 
    penny 
    to 
    my 

    name 

    The 
    heavens 
    have 
    never 

    seemed 
    so 
    near 

    All 
    of my 
    body 
    glows 
    with flame 

    Verse 2

    The tempest 
    struggles 
    in 

    the 
    air

    And 
    to 
    myself 
    alone 
    sing 

    It 
    could 
    sink 
    me 
    then 
    and 
    there 

    can 
    hear 
    the 
    echoes 
    ring 

    Verse 3
    I tried 
    to 
    find 
    one 
    smiling 
    face 

    To 
    drive 
    the shadow 
    from 

    my 
    head 

    I'm 
    stranded 
    in 
    this 
    nameless 
    place 

    Interlude 1
    Lying 
    restless 
    in 
    heavy 
    bed 




    Verse 4
    Tell 
    me 
    straight 
    out 
    if 
    you 
    will 

    Why 
    must 
    you torture 
    me 
    within? 

    Why 
    must 
    you 
    come 
    down 

    off of 
    your 
    high 
    hill? 

    Throw 
    my 
    fate 
    to 
    the 
    clouds 
    and 
    wind 

    Verse 5

    Far 
    away 
    in 
    a silent 
    land 


    Secret 
    thought
    s are 
    hard 
    to 

    bear 

    Remember 
    me, 
    you'll 
    under
    stand 

    Emotions 
    we 
    can 
    nev
    er 
    share 

    Verse 6

    You 
    trampled 
    on 
    me 
    as 
    you passed 


    Left 
    the 
    cold
    est 
    kiss 
    upon 

    my 
    brow 

    All of 
    my 
    doubts 
    and 
    fears 

    have 
    gone 
    at 
    last 

    I've 
    nothing 
    more 
    to 
    tell 
    you 

    Interlude 2
    now 



    Verse 7
    walk 
    by 
    tranquil 
    lakes 
    and 
    streams 

    As 
    each 
    new 
    season's 
    dawn 

    awaits 

    lay 
    awake 
    at 
    night 
    with 

    troubled 
    dreams 

    The 
    enemy 
    is 
    at 
    the gate 

    Verse 8

    Beneath 
    the 
    thunder 
    blasted 

    trees 

    The 
    words 
    are 
    ringin' 
    off 
    your 

    tongue 

    The 
    ground 
    is 
    hard 
    in 
    times 
    like 
    these 

    Stars 
    are 
    cold, 
    the 
    night 
    is 
    young 

    Verse 9

    The 
    rocks 
    are 
    bleak, 

    the trees 
    are 
    bare 

    Iron 
    clouds 
    go 
    floating 
    by 


    Snowflakes 
    fallin' 
    in 
    my 
    hair 

    Beneath 
    the 
    gray 
    and 
    stormy 

    sky 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 10
    The evenin' 
    sun 
    is 
    sinkin' 
    low 

    The 
    woods 
    are 
    dark, 

    the 
    town 
    isn't 
    new 

    They''ll drag 
    you 
    down, 

    they'll 
    run 
    the 
    show 

    Ain't 
    no 
    telling 
    what 
    they'll 

    do 

    Verse 11

    Tell 
    ol' 
    Bill 
    when 
    he 
    comes 

    home 

    Anything 
    is 
    worth 
    try 

    Tell 
    him 
    that 
    I'm 
    not 
    alone 

    That 
    the 
    hour 
    has 
    come 
    to 
    do 

    or 
    die 

    Verse 12

    All 
    the world 
    would 
    de
    fy 

    Let 
    me 
    make 
    it 
    plain 
    as 
    day 

    look 
    at 
    you 
    now 
    and 
    sigh 

    How 
    could 
    it 
    be 
    any 
    other 

    Outro 1
    way?

    • 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.
