Verse 1
G
A cold wind against my
D
G
shoulder woke me up in the middle of the night
Em
An Autumn leaf was scraping
against my window
Like it was trying hard to get inside
G
C
And then a ghost that I had met
D
before kept me up 'til dawn
G
And everything I thought was
C
right was suddenly all wrong
D
He said, "Your score is
looking pretty bad"
And then he asked me what
it was that I had to show
G
Verse 2
So I went running down a list of things
D
Some were real,
G
but on some of them I lied
Em
Cause I felt I had to justify each breath
G
that I'd been breathing in this life
C
Then I realized I was playing
D
into someone else's rules,
G
Trying to keep my score up in
C
a game I did not choose
D
Then I looked that ghost
straight in the eye
And said "You'd better not be
coming back by again"
G
Verse 3
And it's true that I don't
C
work near as hard

As you tell me that I'm supposed to

I don't run as fast as I could

Verse 4
G
October's leaves were dancing 'round
D
Like angels dressed in
G
robes of Red and Gold
Em
But November's come and gone now
And they're lying in the gutter
G
out along the road
C
They're gonna make their way out to the
D
ditch or someday to the sea,
G
They'll get to where they're going
C
without the help of you or me
D
And if each life is just a grain of sand
I'm telling you man,
this grain of sand is mine
G

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
