MaddProfessor

Verse 1
G
Still at school, hand to fate
On a radio show, a night so late
Teacher's words he didn't inspire
But he heard some truth in
the wood and the wire
In a high street window
he'd winked and beckoned
Turned his head in a single
second
First month's wage, heart's desire
D
G
Under the spell of the wood and the wire
F
The wood and the wire could
claim a man
C
G
Dreams in his fingers, fire in his hands
Louder than laughter,
brighter than fire
Promise lives in the wood and
F
G
the fire
Every night through the bedroom door
Every hot dog's favorite score
Singing to his only one
All the songs I've ever sung
Soaking it up like it was smelt, every note with every lilt,
even the mirror no longer a liar.
All his moves in the wood
and the wire.
F
The wood and the wire claim a man,
C
James his fingers,
G
power in his hands.
Blood and laughter brighter than fire.
The promise that lives in the wood
F
G
and the water
C
G
C
G
Wings turn round, years go by
D
Dreams that live and dreams that die
G
He lives, gets followed by
those cracks
Tears he sheds with words he lacks
Head won't rise from the mire
But it all makes sense with
the wood and the wire
F
The wood and the wire
cuts through walls
C
G
Hope to the lonely, sense to the fools
Roger, the stranger, the treachery, the liar
He got the means with the wood and the wire
F

Louder than thunder, brighter than fire

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
