Some coffee and a tiny trace

Of fiddlin' in the distance

far behind him

A dime across the counter then
G

A shy hello, a brand new friend

A walk along the street in the wintry weather

A yellow light, an open door

And a welcome friend,

there's room for more

And then they're standing
A

there inside together

He said I've heard that tune
before somewhere

Was it on some other friendly shore

Was it written on the sky above

Verse 5

Now his feet begin to tap

A little boy says I'll take your hat

And leap the heart inside him went

And off across the floor he sent

His clumsy body graceful as a child

He said there's magic in
the fiddler's arm

There's magic in the dancers' feet

People smilin' everywhere

Boots and ribbons, locks of hair

And laughter and old blue suits and easter

Now the sailors' gone, the room is bare

The old piano settin' there
Someone's hat's left

That feels the touch

of shoes no more
D
A
Awaitin' for the dancers
D
to come back

A
And the fiddle's in the closet
G

Of some daughter of the town

The strings are broke and the
bow is gone

And the cover's buttoned down

But sometimes on Decem

ber nights

When the air is cold and the

wind is right
G

There's a melody that passes
D
through this town

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
