    Verse 1
    The 
    bird 
    had 
    silver 
    wings, 

    my 
    friends, 

    And 
    reached 
    out 
    for 
    the 
    sky; 

    It 
    found 
    its 
    wings 
    were broken, 

    It had 
    lost 
    the right 
    to fly. 

    The 
    pink-eyed 
    salamander 

    salamander 

    Changed 
    its 
    colours 
    for 
    the 
    day; 

    It changed 
    from 
    white 
    to purest 
    gold 

    And 
    left 
    the stag 
    at 
    bay. 

    Now 
    I 
    am 
    but 
    a 
    p;oor man 

    In 
    the 
    apple 
    blossom 
    state, 

    I 
    choose 
    to 
    fly 
    where'er 
    I 
    please, 

    The stag 
    must 
    needs 
    a 
    mate. 

    My 
    Verse 2
    golden 
    salamander, 

    You 
    must 
    take 
    me 
    as 
    I 
    am. 

    I 
    can
    not 
    change 
    my 
    colours, 

    I 
    am 
    but 
    a simple 
    man. 

    Verse 3

    The golden 
    salamander 

    Had 
    be
    come 
    the 
    rite 
    of 

    spring; 

    The silver 
    bird 
    made 
    promises 

    That scarcely 
    meant 
    a 
    thing; 

    They 
    told 
    the wicked 
    huntsman 

    Where 
    the stag 
    had 
    run 
    to 
    rest. 

    Now 
    the 
    elderly 
    survivor 

    Knew 
    this 
    was 
    not 
    for 
    the 

    best; 

    He opened 
    up 
    his 
    heart 

    And 
    prayed 
    for 
    peace 
    for all 
    man
    kind. 

    He 
    asked 
    a fortune 
    teller 

    But 
    found 
    out 
    that 
    she 
    was 
    blind. 

    Verse 4
    The 



    clouds 
    were 
    passing 
    over, 

    There 
    was 
    little 
    sign 
    of 
    rain; 

    The sun 
    was 
    slowly 
    rising 

    From 
    its 
    slumberdown a
    gain. 

    The stag 
    had 
    run 
    to 
    cover 

    In a copse 
    beside 
    the 
    lake; 

    The 
    huntsman 
    broke 
    the silence 

    And 
    the birds 
    began 
    to 
    wake. 

    The 
    fortune 
    teller 
    smiled 

    As 
    the sur
    vivor 
    spoke 
    of 
    fate. 

    He thanked 
    her 
    for 
    her 
    interest 

    But knew 
    it was 
    too 
    late.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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.
