  • Verse 1
    mar
    ried 
    my 
    wife 
    on 

    the day 
    of the eclipse 

    Our friends 
    awarded 
    her 

    courage 
    with 
    gifts 

    Now as 
    the 
    nights 
    grow 
    longer 

    and 
    the season 
    shifts 

    I look 
    to my 
    sorrow
    ful 
    wife 

    Who 
    is 
    quietly 
    tending 
    her 
    flowers 

    Who is 
    quietly 
    tending 
    her 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 2
    The water 
    is 
    high 
    on 

    the beckoning 
    river 

    I made 
    her 
    a promise 
    could 

    not 
    deliver 

    And the cry 
    of 
    the birds 
    sends 

    a terrible 
    shiver 

    Through 
    me 
    and 
    my sorrowful 
    wife 

    Who 
    is 
    shifting 
    the furniture 
    around 

    Who is 
    shifting 
    the furniture 
    around 

    Interlude 2




    Verse 3
    Now 
    we sit 
    beneath 
    the 
    knotted 
    Yew 

    And 
    the bluebells 
    bob 
    up 

    around 
    our shoes 

    The task 
    of remembering 

    the 
    telltale 
    clues 

    Goes 
    to 
    my sorrowful 
    wife 

    Who 
    is 
    counting 
    the days 

    on her 
    finger

    Who is 
    counting 
    the days 
    on 
    her 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 4
    Come on 
    an
    d help 
    me 
    baby 

    Come on 
    now 

    Come on 
    and 
    help 
    me baby 

    was 
    blind 

    The grass 
    here grows 
    long 
    and high 

    Twists 
    right 
    up to 
    the sky 

    White 
    clouds 
    roll 
    on 
    by 

    Come 
    on 
    now 
    and 
    help 
    me babe 

    was 
    blind 

    was 
    fool 
    babe 

    was 
    blind 

    loose 
    wind 
    last 
    night 
    blew 
    down 

    Black 
    trees 
    bent 
    to the 
    ground 

    Their 
    blossoms 
    made 
    such 
    a sound 

    That I 
    could not 
    even 
    hear 
    myself 
    think 
    babe 

    was 
    blind 

    was 
    fool 
    babe 

    was 
    a blind 
    fool, 
    babe 

    was 
    fool 
    babe 

    was 
    blind 
    babe 

    I was 
    fool 
    babe 

    was 
    blind 
    fool, 
    babe 

    was a fool 

    Interlude 4

    Verse 5

    Blind 
    babe 

    Blind 
    babe 

    Blind 
    babe

    • 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.
