    I 
    discovered 
    the val
    Verse 1
    ley 
    of the 

    shifting 
    whispering 
    sands 

    While 
    prospecting 
    for gold 
    in one of 

    our western 
    states. 

    I saw 
    the silent 
    windmill
    s, 

    the 
    crum
    bling 
    water 
    tanks 

    The bones 
    of cattle 
    and 
    burrows, 

    picked clean 
    by buzzards 

    Bleached 
    by 
    the desert 
    sun. 

    Verse 2
    I stumbled 
    over 
    a crumbling 
    buckboard 

    nearly 
    covered 
    by the 
    sands 

    And stop
    ping to 
    rest 
    I heard 

    a tink
    ling 
    whispering 
    sound 

    And 
    sud
    denly 
    realised 

    that even though 

    The wind 
    was 
    quiet 
    the 

    sand 
    did not 
    lie 
    still. 

    Verse 3
    I seemed 
    to be surrounded 

    by a mystery 
    so heavy 

    And 
    op
    pressive 
    I 

    could scarcely 
    breath 

    For days 
    and 
    weeks 
    I wandered 

    aimlessly 
    in this val
    ley 

    Seeking 
    answers 
    to the many 

    questions 

    That raced 
    through my 

    fevered 
    mind. 

    Verse 4
    Where was 
    everyone 
    why the 
    white 
    bones, 

    the dry 
    wells 

    The barren 
    val
    ley where 
    people 

    must have 
    lived 
    and died 

    Finally 
    I could go 
    no farther 

    my food 
    and water 
    gone 

    I sat 
    down and 
    buried 
    my face 

    in my 
    hands 
    and rest
    ing thus 

    I 
    learnt 
    the secret 
    of the shifting 

    Verse 5
    whispering 
    sands. 

    How I 
    escaped 
    from 

    the valley 
    I do not 
    know 

    But 
    now 
    to pay 
    my 
    final 

    debt 
    for being 
    spared 

    I must 
    tell you 
    what I learned 

    out there 
    on the desert 

    So many 
    years 
    ago. 

    Verse 6
    (When the 
    day 
    is 
    oddly 
    quiet 

    And 
    the 
    breeze 
    seems 
    not 
    to 
    blow 

    One 
    would 
    think 
    the 
    sand 
    was 
    resting 

    But 
    you'll 
    find 
    this 
    is 
    not 
    so. 

    Verse 7
    It 
    is 
    whisp'ring 
    softly 
    whisp'ring 

    As 
    it 
    slowly 
    moves 
    along 

    And 
    for 
    those 
    who 
    stop 
    and 
    listen 

    It 
    will 
    sing 
    this 
    mournful 
    song. 

    Of 
    Verse 8
    sidewinders and 
    the 
    horntoads 

    Of 
    the 
    Thorny 
    Cha
    parral 

    In 
    the 
    sunny 
    days 
    and 
    moonlight 
    nights 

    The 
    coyote's 
    lonely 
    yell. 

    Verse 9
    How 
    the 
    stars 
    seem 
    you 

    could 
    touch 
    them 

    As 
    you 
    lay 
    and 
    gaze 
    on 
    high 

    At 
    the 
    Heav
    ens 
    where 
    we're 
    hop
    ing 

    We'll 
    be 
    go
    ing 
    when 
    we die...)

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
