    • Verse 1
    [Chorus:] 

    The coldest 
    winter 
    in memory 
    was 
    1709 

    The 
    sea froze 
    off 
    the coast 
    of France 

    all along 
    the Neptune 
    line 

    By 
    the lost 
    town 
    of 
    Dunwich 
    the shore 

    was 
    washed 
    away 

    They 
    say 
    you hear 
    the church 
    bells 
    still 

    as 
    they 
    toll 
    beneath 
    the 
    waves 


    Verse 2
    Come 
    all 
    you 
    earthly 
    princes, 

    whereso
    ever 
    you 
    may 
    be 

    From 
    the Sun 
    King 
    in 
    the court 
    of 

    France 
    to 
    the Czar 
    in 
    Muscovy 

    Take 
    heed 
    of 
    Charles 
    of 
    Sweden, 

    the Li
    on 
    of 
    the 
    North, 

    On 
    the cracked 
    earth 
    of sum
    mer 
    with 

    his army 
    he 
    goes 
    forth 

    Verse 3

    [Bridge:] 

    Guardian 
    an
    gels 
    wherever 
    you 
    may 
    be, 


    reach 
    down 
    and 
    keep 
    my 
    soul 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 4
    I 
    was 
    there 
    amongst 
    that 
    number
    , 

    I heard 
    the trumpets 
    strain 

    I saw 
    the host 
    of 
    ban
    ners 
    spread 

    across 
    the Polish 
    plain 

    Those 
    who 
    stood 
    again
    st 
    us, 

    they soon 
    were swept 
    away 

    They 
    may 
    have 
    the numbers 
    but it's 

    Charles 
    shall 
    have 
    the day 

    Verse 5

    We cut 
    our 
    way 
    through 
    forest
    s, 

    crossed 
    on 
    frozen 
    stream
    s 

    They 
    fell 
    away 
    be
    fore 
    us 
    like 

    a murmur 
    in 
    a dream 

    And 
    they 
    burned 
    the 
    land 
    around 
    us 

    as snow 
    was 
    closing 
    in 

    And the 
    arms 
    of 
    winter 
    took 
    us 
    as 
    we fired 

    against 
    the wind 

    Verse 6

    [Bridge] 

    Guardian 
    an
    gels 
    wherever 
    you 
    may 
    be, 


    reach 
    down 
    and 
    keep 
    my 
    soul 
    for 
    me 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    Through 
    all 
    the courts 
    of 
    Europe 

    there's 
    a rumor 
    from 
    the 
    East 

    The 
    kings 
    have 
    come 
    to battle 
    and 

    it's 
    Charles 
    who's 
    known 
    defeat 

    They'll shake 
    their 
    heads 
    and 
    won
    der 

    at how 
    this 
    came 
    to 
    be 

    But 
    it's 
    nights 
    without 
    a shel
    ter 
    that 

    have 
    made 
    an 
    end 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 8

    Now Charles 
    is 
    fled 
    to 
    Tur
    key, 

    left 
    his 
    men 
    afar 

    And 
    they'll 
    be 
    marched 
    through 
    Mo
    scow 

    now 
    as 
    prisoners 
    of 
    the Czar 

    And 
    had 
    I 
    but 
    known 
    last 
    sum
    mer 

    what 
    I 
    know 
    under
    stand 

    I'd 
    have 
    never 
    set 
    my 
    foot 
    inside 
    this 

    bleak 
    and 
    bitter 
    land 

    Verse 9

    [Bridge] 

    Guardian 
    angels 
    wherever 
    you 
    may 
    be, 


    reach 
    down 
    and 
    keep 
    my 

    soul 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 10

    [Chorus] 

    The 
    coldest 
    winter 
    in 
    memory 
    was 
    1709 

    The 
    sea 
    froze 
    off 
    the coast 
    of 
    France 

    all along 
    the 
    Neptune 
    line 

    By the 
    lost 
    town 
    of 
    Dun
    wich 
    the shore 

    was 
    washed 
    away 

    They say 
    you 
    hear 
    the church 
    bell
    s 
    still 
    as 
    they 

    toll 
    beneath 
    the 
    waves

      "

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
