    Verse 2
    took 
    a walk 
    down 
    to 
    the port 

    Where 
    strangers 
    meet 
    and 
    do 
    consort 

    All 
    blinkered with 
    desire 

    And 
    winter 
    fog 
    moved 
    thickly 
    on 

    winter 
    fog 
    moved 
    thickly

    see 

    Verse 4
    And 
    I saw 
    a friend 
    beside 
    a wall 

    Her 
    hands 
    were 
    raised 
    in 
    supplication 

    And her 
    face 
    could 
    not 
    see 
    at 
    all 

    And I 
    raised 
    my 
    hands 
    in 
    rage 

    Verse 5
    And 
    brought 
    them 
    down 
    again 

    And 
    we 
    entered 
    through 
    the eastern 
    door 

    entered 
    through 
    the

    door

    will 
    be 
    the witness?

    will 
    be

    When 
    you're 
    all 
    too 
    blind 
    to 
    see 

    Verse 7

    Mmm 

    And 
    time 
    gets 
    somewhat 
    muddled 
    here 

    But 
    no matter, 
    no 
    matter 

    Here 
    come 
    the events 
    all 

    Verse 8
    tumbling 
    down 


    Now, beyond 
    the 
    wall 
    was 
    a great 
    garden 

    Into 
    which 
    we 
    passed 
    'cause 

    of 
    me 
    and 
    my friend 

    And the place 
    was 
    all 

    overgrown 
    with 
    weeds 

    And 
    behold 
    from 
    its 
    center 

    there 
    rose 
    a great 
    fountain 

    Verse 9
    fountain 
    with 
    the 
    healin' 
    waters 

    Yes, 
    a fountain 
    with 
    the 

    healin' 
    waters 

    And we knelt 
    down 
    by 
    the 
    rim 

    And 
    I dipped 
    my 
    hand 
    in 
    and 

    Verse 10
    she 
    dipped 
    her 
    hand 
    in 
    too 


    And 
    I said, 
    "Are 
    you 
    healed?" 

    And she 
    said, 
    "Well 
    are 
    you 
    healed?" 

    And 
    I said, 
    "Yes, 
    I'm 
    healed" 

    And she 
    said, "Oh, 

    yes 
    I'm 
    healed 
    then 
    too" 

    Verse 11
    And I said, 
    "Babe, 
    you 
    are a 
    liar" 

    "Babe, 
    you 
    are 
    liar" 

    "Babe, 
    you 
    are 
    liar" 

    "Babe, 
    you 
    are 
    liar" 

    "Babe, 
    you 
    are 
    liar, 
    too"

    who 
    will 
    be

    be 
    the witness?

    When 
    you're 
    all 
    too 
    healed 
    to 
    see 


    And 
    I kissed 
    her 
    once, 
    I kissed 
    her twice 

    And 
    made 
    my 
    way 
    to 
    leave 
    her 

    And 
    she raised 
    her 
    hand 
    up 
    to 
    her 
    face 

    And 
    brought 
    it 
    down 
    again

    will 
    haunt 
    me"

    gesture, 
    it 
    will

    there 
    by 
    the 
    eastern 
    door

    left 
    there

    • 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.
