Verse 1

Am

I
C

had spend the whole day lying on the sand,
G

Sifting tiny golden gains and
Am

dreaming I was tanned.

My eyelids closed,
C

the burning sun high up in the sky.
G

Make swiftly moving scarlet
Am

patterns deep within my eye.
Verse 2
Am

Then the red sun disappeared
F
C

and a chill came on my skin.
G

I felt a shadow on my face and a
Am

coldness from within.
C

Through slits between my eyelids I saw a girl,

kneeling down
G

And the sun, I think it was,
Am

formed a halo, or a crown.
Verse 3
Am

I heard a week and croaking
C

voice I recognize as mine.
G

Ask her where she came from,
Am

or for some other sign.
Dm
Am

She smiled and closed my eyelids
C

with two fingers of her hand.
G

Saying I'm from the other side
Am

and soon you'll understand.
Verse 4
C

Oh, she held my hands,
G

as if to comfort me and said:
Dm

"Don't be afraid,
F

I'm your lifelong guide.
C

I've come so I can show you
G

how to set your spirit free.
Dm
F

So listen to the music, as I take you through,
Am

To the other side."
Verse 5
Am


In that instant I seemed to rise
C

and she holding my arm.
G

Entered a bright passageway
Am

that gave me no alarm.

Just a growing love,
C

forgiveness and trust all mixed as one
G

And peace, above all,
Am

quit peace of something finished - done.
Verse 6
Am

As we reached the place of comfort,
C

the strongest point of light.
G

I felt her stop me, motionless,
Am

the end of headlong flight.

She entered in the brightness,
C

spoke to others waiting there.
G

Then, returning to me,
Am

softly said: "Your time is not yet here."
Verse 7
C

Oh, she held my hands,
G

as if to comfort me and said:
Dm

"Don't be afraid,
F

I'm your lifelong guide.
C

I've come so I can show you
G

how to set your spirit free.
Dm

So listen to the music,
F

as I take you through,
Am

To the other side."
Verse 8
Am


You must return and tell the others
C

waiting to come through,
G

Of the love, forgiveness,
Am

peace and light that lie and store for you

And play to them, the music,
C

play it strong and play with pride.
G

So that they won't be afraid
Am

to pass - to the other side.
Verse 9
C

Oh, she held my hands,
G

as if to comfort me and said:
Dm

"Don't be afraid,
F

I'm your lifelong guide.
C

I've come so I can show you
G

how to set your spirit free.
Dm

So listen to the music,
F

as I take you through,
Am

To the other side."
F
Verse 10

To the other side,
F
Am

to the other side.

  • 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.
