    like 
    birds

    We

    have 
    followed 
    the

    so 
    good, 

    Knowin' 
    the

    man's 
    gone 

    Verse 2
    If

    bury 
    it 
    in 
    the

    come 
    to 
    carry 
    my 
    bones 
    away 

    Two 
    engines 
    on 

    Twenty-one 
    coaches 
    long 
    End 
    to 
    end 

    Twenty-one 
    coaches 
    bend 

    The

    the 
    bums 
    about

    If 
    wait

    moment 

    You 
    can 
    bet 
    I'll 
    climb 
    aboard 
    un
    seen 

    I've 
    done 
    it 
    before 

    know 
    can 
    do 
    it 
    in 
    my 
    sleep 

    Chorus 1
    The 
    watchman's

    Kickin' 
    the 
    bums

    watchman's 
    out 

    Kickin' 
    your 
    dreams 
    about 

    Solo 1




    Verse 5
    As 
    leave 
    you 
    in 
    the 
    sun
    set 

    Got 
    one 
    more 
    nothin' 
    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    say 

    "You 
    don't 
    know 
    me 

    son 
    of 
    the 
    sea 
    am 
    I" 

    Verse 6
    As 
    say 
    to 
    you, 
    my 
    brother 

    If 
    you 
    live 
    to 
    follow 
    the 
    golden 
    sun 

    You 
    better 
    beware 

    Knowin' 
    the 
    watch
    man's 
    always 
    there 

    Verse 7
    If 
    you 
    find 
    me 
    feedin' 
    daisies 

    Please 
    turn 
    my 
    face 
    up 
    to 
    the 
    sky 

    And 
    leave 
    me 
    be 

    Watchin' 
    the 
    moon 
    roll 
    by 

    Whatever 
    was 

    You 
    know 
    it 
    was 
    all 
    because 

    I've 
    been 
    on 
    the 
    town 

    Washin' 
    the 
    bull
    shit 
    down 

    Chorus 2
    The 
    watchman's 
    out 

    Kickin' 
    your 
    dreams 
    about 

    It 
    feels 
    so 
    good 

    Knowin' 
    the 
    watch
    man's 

    gone 
    It's 
    like 
    song 

    Knowin' 
    the 
    watch
    man's 
    gone

    • 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.
