    Interlude 1




    Verse 1
    am 
    light
    house 

    worn 
    by 
    the 
    weather 
    and 
    the 
    waves 

    keep 
    my 
    lamp 
    lit, 

    to 
    warn 
    the 
    sailors 
    on 
    their 
    way 

    I'll 
    tell 
    story, 

    paint 
    you 
    picture 
    from 
    my 
    past 

    was 
    so 
    happy, 

    but 
    joy 
    in 
    this 
    life 
    sel
    dom 
    lasts 

    Interlude 2





    Verse 2
    had 
    keeper 

    he 
    helped 
    me 
    warn 
    the 
    ships 
    at 
    sea 

    We 
    had 
    grown 
    closer, 

    'till 
    his 
    joy 
    meant 
    everything 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    to 
    marry, 

    girl 
    who 
    shone 
    with 
    beauty 
    and 
    light 

    And 
    they 
    loved 
    each 
    other, 

    And 
    with 
    me 
    watched 
    the 
    sunsets 

    into 
    night 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    the 
    waves 
    crashing 
    a
    round 
    me, 

    the 
    sand 
    slips 
    out 
    to 
    sea 

    And 
    the 
    winds 
    that 
    blow 
    re
    mind 
    me, 

    Of 
    what 
    has 
    been, 

    and 
    what 
    can 
    never 
    be 

    Interlude 3




    Verse 3
    She'd 
    had 
    to 
    leave 
    us, 

    my 
    keeper 
    he 
    prayed 
    for 
    safe 
    return 

    But 
    when 
    the 
    night 
    came, 

    the 
    weather 
    to 
    raging 
    storm 
    had 
    turned 

    He 
    watched 
    her 
    ship 
    fight, 

    but 
    in 
    vain 
    against 
    the 
    wild 
    and 
    terri
    ble 
    wind 

    In 
    me 
    so 
    helpless, 

    as 
    dashed 
    against 
    the 
    rock 
    she 
    met 
    her 
    end 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    the 
    waves 
    crashing 
    a
    round 
    me, 

    the 
    sand 
    slips 
    out 
    to 
    sea 

    And 
    the 
    winds 
    that 
    blow 
    re
    mind 
    me, 

    Of 
    what 
    has 
    been, 

    and 
    what 
    can 
    never 
    be 

    Interlude 4




    Bridge 1
    Then 
    on 
    the 
    next 
    day, 

    my 
    keeper 
    found 
    her 
    washed 
    up 
    on 
    the 
    shore 

    He 
    kissed 
    her 
    cold 
    face, 

    that 
    they'd 
    be 
    together 
    soon 

    he 
    swore 

    saw 
    him 
    crying, 

    watched 
    as 
    he 
    buried 
    her 
    in 
    the 
    sand 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    climbed 
    my 
    tower, 

    and 
    off 
    of 
    the 
    edge 
    of 
    me 
    he 
    ran 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    the 
    waves 
    crashing 
    a
    round 
    me, 

    the 
    sand 
    slips 
    out 
    to 
    sea 

    And 
    the 
    winds 
    that 
    blow 
    re
    mind 
    me, 

    Of 
    what 
    has 
    been, 

    and 
    can 
    never 
    be 

    Interlude 5


    Outro 1
    am 
    light
    house 

    worn 
    by 
    the 
    weather 
    and 
    the 
    waves 

    And 
    though 
    I'm 
    empty, 

    still 
    warn 
    the 
    sailors 
    on 
    their 
    way

    • 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.
