the day that we met

And one glimpse of you bent

the load from my fret

To my frown, to my stern,

and then rocking me by

And a game and a cheer,

on the earth, in the sky

Til the load wasn't there and

In his wake and the call of his

And the wind it was blown from

And I with my bellows cast

And then I with a light shone on

that which was there

As in light I did nothing,

as in days I did fare

And so days in my ears and
G

days all around
Verse 5
G

Proving death to the landlord
Am

and all he abounds

And the night she shone, too,
G

until all that was now

Had been hoisted for viewing

in all of the crowd

I was glad in the light that crept

So meek in that moment,

Verse 7
Am

They fell in they fell out,
G

they fell near they fell far

They gave all in a shout and
Am

put all to the stars

Lifting them as one load,

such a burdensome thing

Troubling nothing that lives now,
Am

no and nothing it seems

Nothing that dances,
G

nothing that's moved

In the old spinning circle of all
Am

  • 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.
