Key: Bb major•BPM: 90
Verse 1
G
Bm
G
Bm
Set another
G
place at the table
Bm
cause I must be dreaming
G
Sitting by the side of the window,
Bm
your shadow is gleaming
D
I'm rubbing on my eyes
C
but you don't seem to go away
G
I could almost half believe
Bm
G
Bm
that you mean to stay
G
Talking with Freight Car Betty
Bm
about the state of the nation
G
She told me everything she
Bm
knew without hesitation
D
C
Mysterious ways are the order of the day,
we all know it
G
There's a heart up every sleeve,
Bm
G
but who has time to show it?
Bm
Hanging around on the ground,
Am
smiling up my sleeve
Bm
To make a dream get real,
Am
you gotta choose what to believe
C
Everything comes around
Bm
if you know how to wait
Am
Resign yourself
D
to wander hand in hand with
G
Bm
G
Bm
fate
G
The stranger from Twentynine Palms
Bm
dims the light of the moon
G
Caresses his sad guitar
Bm
and plays a highway tune
D
Lillies of the morning wake up
C
in the midnight baffle
G
Yearning for that lonesome road
Bm
G
Bm
some hobo traveled
G
Wander through the catacombs
Bm
looking for a heart to believe in
G
Don't seem to find it
Bm
so I reckon that it's not the season
D
Wander through loss
C
till I find a place to take my ease in
G
Where a handful of dark flowers
bloom
Bm
G
Bm
for their own good reason
G
Wisdom is a way of looking at
Bm
the bright side of sadness
G
The prospect of joy in between
Bm
interludes of madness
D
We all know meaning
C
is essentially a relative thing
G
But what you can't exactly say
Bm
G
you can sometimes sing
Bm
Hanging around on the ground
Am
Smiling up my sleeve
Bm
To make a dream get real
Am
Gotta choose what to believe
C
Everything comes around
Bm
And if you know how to wait,
Am
resign yourself to wander hand -in
D
G
Bm
G
-hand with fate
Bm
G
In convincing myself
Bm
I lived the only life I could
G
Blew it bad a time or two,
Bm
and that's understood
D
So I commend my soul
C
to grace and accept defeat
G
As things that matter
Bm
each vanish down a one -way street
G
But here by the window
Bm
I can see your shadow gleaming
G
Or in at the curtain
Bm
the morning sun comes streaming
D
I feel a beat in a place
C
that seemed cold as stone
G
So I guess my heart still has
Bm
G
a life of its own
Bm
Hanging around on the ground
Am
Smiling up my sleeve
Bm
To make a dream get real
Am
Gotta choose what to believe
C
Everything comes around
Bm
If you know how to wait
Am
Resign yourself to wonder
D
Hand in hand with fate
Bm
Hangin' around on the ground,
Am
smilin' up my sleeve
Bm
To make a dream get real,
Am
gotta choose what to believe
C
Everything comes around
Bm
if you know how to wait
Am
Resign yourself to wander
D
G
Bm
G
Bm
hand in hand with fate
G
Sit another place at the table,
Bm
cause I must be dreamin'

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
