Verse 1
Am
C
Am
I tried to sleep upon
my back so I could
Hold her all night long as in my
C
Arms she slept, alas,
but no I couldn't
Am
And when daybreak came and found her
At the far side of the bed I tried to
C
Wake her, tried to stir her,
but she wouldn't
Fm
In her fug she lay like someone dead
And even when I'd tug her head and
Bb
Press and nip and agitate and shake her
Fm
Or call her name or whisper
it against her ear,
C
My breath warm, there were
No words in this universe
G
F
would wake her

Verse 3
F
Am
It took me time to comprehend
This state of play extended unto
C
All her working, waking, shaking hours
Am
For when she finally woke, deep in the day
Still she did sleepwalk like a
C
hollow ghost
A- float in haunted towers
Fm
And though she heard she didn't see
And though she saw she
didn't hear,
Attending only to what
Bb
seemed precise and kind
Fm
For she was settled in her dream,
A shopping list of small illusions,
C
Pretty stories that she told
G
her drowsy mind

Verse 5
Dm
Yet I re member a day
by a river wild
Am
When she clung to me hard
Asus4
like a darling child
Em
Am
Dm
And a night in the sheets of
Am
a Dublin bed
Asus4
When she moaned like a woman
And gave sweet head
Am
F
When we sang in tongues together
Em
And our syn chronised guitars
C
Played music to the rafters
G
Made love among the stars
F
And our bodies beat like light
G
In love's bold embrace
C
G
As her tiny kisses burst like
Fm
G
Popping suns around my face
Verse 6
Am
But then drift, recline, collapse,
The lights went out, she fell asleep again
C
Before my kiss- wet face was even dry
Am
I need another haircut she'd say,
Talking in her sleep,
the sleep- motes
C
Gathered in the dust- bowls of her eye
Fm
She teetered down the road apiece,
She and her man, from dozy bedsit land
To junkshop, with her sleeping
Bb
clothes in sacks
Fm
And when I'd gone she teetered
down the road again,
C
Yawning as she went,
And went and brought the bloody
G
damn things back

Verse 7

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
