  • Verse 1
    This song 
    was first released 
    on the 
    Autograph album. 

    It is the 
    only album 
    it has been 
    released on. 

    Verse 2
    He was 
    stranded 
    in 
    some 
    tiny 
    town 

    On 
    fair 
    Prince 
    Edward 
    Isle 

    Awaitin' 
    for 
    a ship 
    to 
    come 
    and 
    find 
    him 

    one-horse place, 
    place, 
    a friendly 
    face 

    Some 
    coffee 
    and 
    a tiny 
    trace 

    Of fid
    dlin' 
    in 
    the distance 

    far 
    be
    hind 
    him 

    Verse 3
    A dime 
    across 
    the counter 
    then 

    shy 
    hello, 
    a brand 
    new 
    friend 

    A walk 
    along 
    the street 
    in 
    the wintry 
    weather 

    yellow 
    light, 
    an 
    open 
    door 

    And a 
    wel
    come 
    friend, 

    there's 
    room 
    for more 

    And 
    then they're 
    standing 

    there 
    inside 
    to
    gether 

    Verse 4
    He said 
    I've 
    heard 
    that 
    tune 

    before 
    somewhere 

    But I 
    can't 
    remember 
    when 

    Was it 
    on 
    some 
    other 
    friendly 
    shore 

    Or did I 
    hear it 
    on 
    the wind 

    Was it 
    written 
    on 
    the sky 
    above 

    I think 
    heard 
    it from 
    someone 
    loved 

    But I 
    never 
    heard 
    it sound 
    so sweet 
    since 

    Interlude 1
    then 



    Verse 5

    Now 
    his 
    feet 
    begin 
    to 
    tap 

    A little 
    boy 
    says 
    I'll 
    take 
    your hat 

    He's 
    caught 
    up 
    in 
    the magic 
    of her 
    smile 

    And 
    leap 
    the 
    heart 
    in
    side 
    him 
    went 

    And off 
    across 
    the 
    floor 
    he sent 

    His 
    clumsy 
    body 
    graceful 
    as 
    a child 

    Verse 6
    He 
    said there's 
    magic 
    in 

    the fiddler's 
    arm 

    There's 
    magic 
    in this 
    town 

    There's 
    magic 
    in 
    the 
    dancers' feet 

    And the 
    way they 
    put them 
    down 

    People 
    smilin' 
    everywhere 

    Boots 
    and 
    ribbons, 
    locks 
    of hair 

    And 
    laughter 
    and 
    old 
    blue 
    suits 
    and easter 

    gowns 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 7
    Now the 
    sailors' gone, 
    the 
    room 
    is bare 

    The 
    old 
    piano 
    set
    tin' 
    there 

    Someone's 
    hat's 
    left 

    hanging 
    on 
    the rack

    And 
    empty 
    chairs, 
    the 
    wooden 
    floor 

    That 
    feels 
    the 
    touch 

    of shoes 
    no 
    more 

    Awaitin' 
    for 
    the dan
    cers 

    to come 
    back 

    Verse 8
    And the 
    fiddle's 
    in 
    the closet 

    Of 
    some 
    daughter 
    of 
    the town 

    The strings 
    are 
    broke 
    and the 

    bow 
    is 
    gone 

    And the 
    cover's 
    buttoned 
    down 

    But some
    times 
    on 
    Decem

    ber 
    nights 

    When the 
    air 
    is 
    cold 
    and the 

    wind 
    is 
    right 

    There's 
    melody 
    that 
    passes 

    through 
    this 
    town 

    Verse 9
    Words 
    and 
    Music

    • 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.
