Intro 1
C

Verse 1
G
I discovered the Valley of the Shifting
Whispering Sands
Em
G
While prospecting in a western state
Am
I saw the silent windmills
C
The crumbling water tanks
The bones of the cattle
Picked clean by buzzards
Bleached by the desert sun
G
I stumbled over a crumbling buck board
Nearly covered by the sand
D
G
And stopping to rest
I heard a tinkling
D
Whispering sound
G
C
G
And suddenly realized that even though
F
The wind was quiet
C
The sand did not lie still
I seemed to be surrounded be a mystery
D
So heavy and apperceive I
Could scarcely breath
G
Eb
For weeks I wondered aimlessly in the valley
G
Seeking answers to
the many questions
D
C
That raced through my mind
Where was everyone? Why the white
Bones? The dry wells?
G
D
The barren valley where
G
people must
Have lived and died
I sat down and buried
my face in my hands
C
And resting I learned the
Secret of the Shifting, whispering Sands
G
C
How I managed to escape from
Em
The valley I don't know
G
D
G
But now to pay my debt for being saved
I must tell you what I
Learned out on the desert
C
so many years ago
When the day is oddly quiet
G
And the breeze seems not to blow
One would think the sun is resting
C
But you'll find this is not so
It is whispering softly whispering
G
As it slowly moves along
And for those who stop and listen
C
It will sing this mournful song
F
Of sidewinders and the horn toads
C
G
C
On the thorny chaparral
D
In the sunny days and moonlight lights
G
The lonely coyotes yell
C
How the stars seem they can touch you
G
As you lay and gaze on high
D
G
G
At the heavens where your hoping
G
C
You'll be going when you die

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!!!”

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
