    Verse 1
    There's 
    this 
    band, 

    called 
    the 
    Crimson 
    King

    Come 
    from 
    a- 
    Carolina, 
    Tenness
    ee 

    Make 
    stand, 
    across 
    wild 
    strings 

    Old 
    dreadnoughts 
    and drop- 

    down 
    D's 

    Our 
    roots 
    run 
    deep, 
    through 
    the tough 

    As 
    true 
    to life 
    in some 
    ways 
    as 
    mandolin 

    We 
    don't 
    flinch, 
    oh, 
    we 
    don't 
    bluff 

    For 
    our 
    hearts 
    have 
    been 
    kissed 

    by 
    every 
    wind 

    Verse 2

    There 
    are 
    some 
    who 
    can 
    arise 

    above 
    my 
    fate 

    Others 
    just 
    can't 
    seem 

    to pray 

    Then 
    there 
    are 
    those 
    that 
    are 
    condemned 

    by 
    the 
    gods 
    to 
    write 

    They 
    a- sparkle 
    and 
    a- fade 

    Interlude 1
    away 




    Verse 3
    Now, 
    we'll 
    run, 
    we're 
    the 
    reckless 
    kind 

    But 
    we 
    have 
    not 
    turned 
    our 

    backs 
    on 
    the saviour 
    choir 

    See 
    each 
    life, 
    all 
    center 
    twined 

    'Cause 
    we've 
    come 
    together 

    for 
    the wheels 
    on 
    fire 

    Now 
    some 
    don't 
    know, 

    that 
    they 
    are 
    blessed 

    Perhaps 
    this 
    is 
    what 
    gives 
    us 
    our 
    means 

    Well 
    I might 
    be wrong, 
    oh, 

    never 
    the less 

    Sweet 
    mother 
    of 
    pearl 
    say 
    a prayer 

    for 
    a Crimson 
    King 

    Verse 4

    There 
    are 
    some 
    who 
    can 
    arise 

    above 
    my 
    fate 

    Others 
    just 
    can't 
    seem 
    to 
    pray 

    Then 
    there 
    are those 
    that 
    are 
    condemned 

    by 
    the 
    gods 
    to 
    write 

    They 
    a- sparkle 
    and a- 
    fade 
    away 






    Sparkle 
    and 
    a- fade 
    away 

    Sparkle 
    and 
    fade 
    away

    • 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.
