Verse 1
C

He is
G

skating on a river

That's been frozen since December
D
C

He's a soldier on a river off to war
G

And he just received his orders

They're in his pocket with his quarters

But they never cut his
D
C

leave like this before
G

He skated nights when

he was younger

Though he always knew the danger

But it seems so much is
D

here and gone so soon
C
G

And his buddies know he's crazy

But they'll meet him by the bridge,
D

and he has the light of more
C

than half a moon.
Am
G
D

Well the ice talks to the river,
Em
D
G

and the geese talk to themselves.
C

Will they fly all night
D
C

if there's no place to land?
G

A place to land is open water,

and open water he can't use

When it's hard enough to
D
C

find a place to stand
G

When the ice gives in beneath you,

you know it changes how you dream
D
C

And you will never be the same again
G
C
Em

C

G

He's going where there is no winter

The only ice is in his veins

He may kill someone
D
C
G
C

whose face he'll never see
Am
G

He always knew he'd be a soldier
D
Em
D

Since his parents could remember
G
C

Now he's skating down
D
C

this temporary road
G

He is skating on a river

that's been frozen

And since December,
D

he's a soldier on a river off to war.

  • 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.
