    Verse 2

    to 
    the 
    high
    way, 

    a poet 
    young

    And 
    left 
    the timbers 

    rotting 
    where 
    they 
    lay 

    Verse 3

    Forever

    Verse 4
    don't 
    come 
    from

    days 
    in 
    search 

    of a woman 
    we

    And 
    if

    Interlude 2


    Verse 6
    And my 
    life 
    is 
    but 
    coin, 

    pulled 
    from 
    an 
    empty 
    pocket 

    Dropped 
    into 
    a slot 
    with 
    dreams 

    of 
    sevens 
    close 
    behind 

    Hope 
    and fear 
    go 
    with 
    it, 

    and 
    moon 
    and 
    the sun 
    go 
    spin
    ning 

    Like 
    the num
    bers 
    and 
    fruit

    before 
    my eye

    Verse 7
    Sometimes 
    hit, 

    some
    times 
    it 
    robs 
    me 
    blind

    will 
    move

    • 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.
