  • Intro 1

    Here sits 
    a once 
    Verse 1
    good 
    gardener, 

    pale 
    as 
    a shadow 
    of 
    doubt, 

    Once 
    happy 
    dweller 
    of 
    garden 
    good, 

    once 
    a sleepy 
    sin
    ner, 

    Once 
    cast 
    out 

    To 
    the sea 
    where 
    the crossy- eyed 
    maids 
    murmur 
    low, 

    "do you 
    see, 
    do you 
    see 

    Where 
    the 
    doubts 
    cross 
    his 
    shadow?" 

    Drowned 
    and 
    amoral, 

    pollinate 
    the 
    coral 
    and 
    reek 
    of 
    the 
    deep 

    Where I've tended 
    the 
    water 
    weed - 

    I was 
    once 
    your 
    good 
    gardener, 

    sing 
    to 
    bring 
    on 
    Spring, 

    I know 
    where your 
    good 
    grass 
    grows, 

    I know 
    what 
    your 
    boy
    friend 
    knows, 

    was 
    your 
    good 
    gardener. 

    Verse 2

    saw 
    twilight 
    car 

    waxers, corpulent 
    dog walkers, 

    Clean 
    canny 
    couples 
    on 

    the sunset 
    strip, 

    From a 
    tower 
    forty 
    miles 
    to 
    the east 
    of 
    Augusta 

    saw 
    plague 
    on 
    the 
    Indian 

    A'coming on 
    windship, 

    You 
    were 
    in 
    the 
    garden 
    when 

    the 
    wind 
    swept 
    up 

    And 
    took 
    the 
    foul 
    words 
    from 
    your 
    mouth 

    Now 
    you 
    know 
    what 
    your sarcasm 

    really really 
    means 

    It's 
    the tearing 
    with your 
    teeth 
    of the 

    flesh 
    from 
    the 
    bones 
    of 
    your 
    brother 

    Kill 
    the shrub 
    to 
    Verse 3
    fertilise 
    the 
    flower, 

    Did 
    hear 
    you 
    say
    ing 
    that 
    the 

    form 
    doesn't 
    mat
    ter? 

    Well 
    form 
    into 
    matter, 
    the 
    matter 
    is 
    forever, 

    but 
    only 
    in 
    good garden 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Black 
    rock bound 
    in 
    the Brighton 
    bowl 

    where 
    the seas 
    of 
    desolation 
    roll, 

    Where 
    you're 
    borne 
    and 
    borne 

    And 
    borne 
    in 
    again 
    to 
    the 
    pebble- 

    feather 
    shore 
    of 
    forgotten 
    friends 

    Think 
    how 
    you 
    can't 
    see 
    the science 

    without 
    seeing 
    first 
    the self, 

    But 
    then 
    nobody 
    thinks 
    of 

    growing 
    somebody 
    else, 

    And 
    how 
    the sun
    hungry 
    sun, 

    holds 
    the withered 
    withered 
    world, 

    So 
    why 
    shouldn't 
    kiss 

    the beautiful 
    girl? 

    When I 
    was 
    her 
    Verse 5
    good 
    garden
    er. 

    Sing 
    of 
    the Sum
    mer 
    sham, 

    O see 
    them 
    grow 
    tall, 

    see 
    them in 
    their 
    rot, 

    See 
    them 
    go 
    to seed 
    in 
    the cemetery 
    plot 

    was 
    your 
    good 
    garden
    er 

    Verse 6
    Sing 
    to 
    bring 
    on 
    Spring 

    ice 
    of 
    Winter 
    would 
    crackle 
    and 
    splinter 

    with 
    my 
    love 
    in 
    everything 

    Ice 
    of 
    Winter 
    would crackle 
    and splinter 

    with 
    my 
    love 
    in 
    everything 

    was 
    your 
    good gardener... 

    Verse 7
    The 
    sea 
    is 
    stark 
    and 
    lovely, 

    and it scares 
    me 
    to the 
    point 
    of 
    rapture 

    was 
    your 
    good 
    gardener

    of 
    some 
    good 
    stature 

    The sea 
    is stark 
    and 
    lovely, 

    and it scares 
    me 
    to 
    the 
    point 
    of 
    rapture 

    was 
    your 
    good 
    gardener, 

    now I 
    - can 
    barely 
    - look 
    at 
    ya

    • 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.
