    Verse 1
    Across 
    the railroad 
    tracks, 

    down the 
    gravel 
    road 

    Headlight
    throw 
    beam 

    on the 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    Lie 
    down, 
    lie 
    down, 
    listen 
    wide 
    awake 

    To 
    the trains 
    that 
    roll, 

    to the sound 
    time 
    makes 

    Verse 2
    It 
    passes 
    through 
    the 
    air 
    like a 

    sum
    mer 
    storm 

    Catching 
    on 
    my 
    sleeve 

    like a 
    roses 
    thorn 

    Some
    times 
    it 
    whispers, 

    some
    times 
    it 
    roars 

    Flies 
    like 
    the wind, 
    waits 
    by 
    the door 

    And 
    I know 
    you 
    know 
    and that's 

    all 
    need 

    When the 
    light 
    of 
    day 

    looks like 
    night 
    to me 

    When 
    you're 
    far 
    away 
    and 
    I'm all 
    alone 

    can't 
    explain, 
    know 
    you know 

    Verse 3
    It 

    fill
    s up my 
    chest, 

    it 
    fill
    s up 
    my 
    eyes 

    Like an 
    old 
    glass 
    jar 
    filled 
    with 
    fireflies 

    Some
    times 
    I'm 
    still, 

    some
    times 
    I sigh 

    Some
    times 
    I'm 
    lost 
    and 

    I don't 
    know 
    why 

    But 
    I know 
    you 
    know 
    and that's 

    all 
    need 

    When the 
    light 
    of day 
    looks 
    like 

    night 
    to me 

    When you're 
    far 
    away 
    and 
    I'm 
    all 
    alone 

    can't 
    explain, 
    know 
    you know 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    In the 
    morn
    ing 
    light, 

    before 
    the 
    heat 
    set
    in 

    Call 
    the 
    dogs 
    to 
    run 
    where 

    the shade 
    has 
    been 

    Across 
    the 
    railroad 
    tracks 

    lay 
    your 
    sil
    ver 
    down 

    Find 
    it smooth 
    and 
    flat, 

    stars 
    for 
    your 
    crown 

    Verse 5
    In the 
    blue 
    dis
    tance 
    where 

    our lives 
    unfurl 

    At the 
    edges 
    of 
    the sky, 

    the 
    beauty 
    of 
    the world 

    know 
    you 
    know 
    and that's 

    all 
    need 

    When the 
    light 
    of 
    day 
    looks 

    like 
    night 
    to me 

    When we're 
    far 
    away 
    and we're 
    all 
    alone 

    can't 
    explain, 
    I know 
    you know

    • 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.
