  • Verse 1
    There's 
    a wrinkle 

    in the water 

    Where we laid 
    our 
    first 
    daughter 

    And I think 
    the wind 
    blows 

    so 
    sweetly 
    there 

    Over 
    there 

    And 
    the win
    dows 
    and the cinder

    And the willows 
    in 
    the 
    timbers 

    The 
    infernal 
    rat
    tling 
    of 
    the 
    rain 

    Still 
    re
    mains 

    Verse 2
    "But 
    I" 
    said 
    the 
    bachelor 
    to 
    the 
    bride 

    "Am 
    not 
    waiting 
    for 
    to
    night. 

    No, 
    will 
    box 
    your 
    ears 

    And 
    leave 
    you 
    here 
    stripped 
    bare." 

    Verse 3

    Hear 
    the corncrakes 
    and 

    the 
    deerhooves 

    And the sleet 
    rain 
    on 

    the slate 
    roof 

    A medallion 
    locked 
    inside 
    her 
    hand 

    In 
    her 
    hand 

    And his fin
    gers 
    are 
    they 
    telling 

    Of 
    the barren 
    of 
    her 
    belly 

    And his 
    callouses 
    cure 

    her 
    furrowed 
    brow 

    Even 
    now 

    Verse 4
    "But 
    I," 
    said 
    the 
    bachelor 
    to 
    the 
    bride 

    "Am 
    not 
    waiting 
    for 
    to
    night. 

    No, 
    will 
    box 
    your 
    ears 

    And 
    leave 
    you 
    here 
    stripped 

    bare." 

    Verse 5

    "But 
    I," 
    said 
    the 
    bachelor 
    to 
    the 
    bride 

    "Am 
    not 
    waiting 
    for 
    to
    night. 

    No, 
    will 
    box 
    your 
    ears 

    And 
    take 
    your 
    tears 

    And 
    leave 
    you, 
    leave 
    you 
    here 

    Stripped 
    bare."

    • 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.
