    When the 
    world 
    leaves 
    you 
    shivering 

    And 
    the blizzard 
    blows, 

    When 
    the snow 
    flies 

    and 
    the 
    night 
    falls 

    There's 
    a light 
    in the 
    window 
    and 

    place 
    called 
    home 

    At 
    the 
    en
    d of 
    the 
    storm. 


    Verse 2
    One 
    night 
    on the 
    mountain 
    I was 

    headed 
    for 
    Estes 

    When the 
    roads 
    turned 
    to 
    ice 

    and it 
    started 
    to snow, 

    Put on 
    the 
    chains 
    in 
    a whirl 

    of 
    white 
    powder

    Half 
    way 
    up 
    to 
    Berthoud near 

    a diner 
    know 

    Verse 3
    And the 
    light 
    burned 
    inside, 

    shin
    ing 
    down 
    through 
    the snowfall 

    God 
    it 
    was 
    cold 
    and 
    the 

    temperature 
    droppin', 

    Went in 
    for 
    coffee 
    and 

    shivered 
    as 
    I drank 
    it, 

    Warm 
    in my 
    hands 
    in 

    the steam 
    as 
    it 
    rose. 

    Verse 4

    Sitting 
    there 
    at the 
    counter 
    was 

    a dark 
    headed 
    stranger, 

    Me 
    and the 
    owner 
    and 

    him 
    keepin 
    warm, 

    Nodded 
    hello 
    and I 
    said 
    it's 
    a cold 
    one 

    Looks 
    like there 
    might 
    be 

    blizzard 
    tonight 

    Verse 5
    And 
    "yes", 
    said 
    the owner," 

    There's 
    big 
    storm 
    on the 
    mountain, 


    Good thing 
    we're 
    open, 

    we could 
    be 
    here 
    for 
    hours 

    There's 
    nothing 
    for 
    miles 
    and 

    it's too 
    late to 
    get to 
    Denver, 

    Better 
    not 
    try 
    for 
    the 

    summit 
    to
    night". 

    Verse 6
    And 
    the 
    snow 
    fell 

    And the 
    night 
    passed 

    And 
    talked 
    to 
    the strangers 

    While 
    the blizzard 
    blew.

    Verse 7
    Me 
    and the stranger, 
    you know 

    don't 
    talk 
    to strangers, 

    I'm 
    private 
    sort of 
    person 

    but 
    a blizzard 
    is 
    a blizzard, 

    And 
    somehow 
    found 
    myself 

    saying 
    you'd 
    left 
    me, 

    Tellin' 
    him 
    everything 

    wanted 
    to 
    say 
    to 
    you. 

    Verse 8
    You 
    know 
    how 
    it is 
    when you 

    can 
    talk 
    to 
    a stranger, 

    Someone 
    your 
    quite 
    sure 

    you'll 
    never 
    see 
    again 

    Soon 
    we 
    were laughin', 

    an
    talkin', 
    and 
    drinkin' 

    He 
    said 
    "you 
    must 
    know 

    you're 
    too 
    good 
    for 
    him". 

    Verse 9
    And 
    the 
    snow 
    fell 

    And 
    the night 
    passed 

    And 
    talked

    stranger 

    While 
    the 
    blizzard 
    blew. 

    Verse 10

    The stranger 
    said 
    "Love 
    it 

    can 
    cry 
    you a 
    river 

    Me, 
    I'm a 
    loner 
    cause I 
    can
    't 

    take 
    the heartache 

    And sometimes 
    I'm 
    a fighter 
    when I 

    get 
    too 
    much 
    whiskey 

    Here 
    have a 
    little 
    whiskey, 

    pre
    tend 
    you 
    don't 
    give 
    a damn 

    Verse 11
    My 
    cabin's 
    up 
    here on 

    the side 
    of the 
    mountain 

    You can 
    go 
    up 
    there and 
    sleep 

    through 
    the blizzard". 

    put 
    on my 
    parka, 

    said 
    goodbye 
    to the 
    owner 

    Followed 
    the stranger 
    through the 
    snow 
    up 
    the

    Verse 12
    Woke 
    in the 
    morning 
    to the 

    sun 
    on 
    the snow, 

    My 
    car 
    was 
    buried 
    in six 

    feet 
    of snow 
    drifts, 

    They 
    dug 
    me out, 

    just 
    the owner 
    and the 
    stranger, 

    Sent 
    me on 
    my 
    way 
    when the 

    snowplow 
    had been 
    by 

    Verse 13
    And 
    the roads 
    were all 
    clear 
    and 

    the 
    sun 
    on 
    the mountains 

    Sparkled 
    like 
    diamonds 
    on the 

    peak 
    to 
    peak 
    highway 

    Then 
    I knew 
    that I 
    would 
    get 
    over 
    you, 

    knew 
    you could 
    leave 
    me 

    But 
    you'd 
    never 
    break 
    me. 

    Verse 14
    Col
    orado, 
    Color
    ado 

    When 
    the 
    world 
    leaves 
    you 
    shivering 

    And 
    the 
    blizzard 
    blows, 

    When 
    the snow 
    flies 

    and the 
    night 
    falls 

    There's 
    light 
    in 
    the 
    window 

    and 
    place 
    called 
    home 

    At 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    storm.

    • 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.
