    Verse 1
    Let me 
    tell 

    you all 
    a little 
    story 
    of the 
    things 
    I've 
    found, 

    Hanging 
    out 
    and drinking 
    with my 

    friends 
    in the cathedral 
    grounds, 

    And 
    later 
    dodging 
    drunks 
    as we 

    dance 
    along 
    Jury 
    Street, 

    As we 
    wander 
    up 
    town 
    to the 
    railway 

    our 
    friends 
    to meet, 

    Verse 2
    There's 
    something 
    about 
    coming 

    back to 
    your 
    hometown 
    again, 

    The 
    place 
    where you 
    grew up 
    and where 

    you found 
    your firmest 
    friends, 

    And though 
    none of 
    them still 
    live here, 

    I've 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to go, 

    I'm 
    a 
    Wessex 
    Boy 
    and 
    when 
    I'm 
    here 

    Interlude 1
    I'm home 



    Verse 3
    Let me 
    tell 
    you all 
    a little 
    story 
    of 

    the things 
    I've 
    lost, 

    Huddling 
    for 
    warmth 
    on 
    the top 

    step of 
    the 
    Butter
    cross, 

    Sitting on 
    the benches 
    by 

    the bridges 
    at the 
    riverside, 

    Of 
    counting 
    down 
    the hours 
    for 
    the buses 

    cause 
    I missed 
    my 
    ride 

    Verse 4
    There's 
    something 
    about 
    coming 

    back to 
    your 
    hometown 
    again, 

    The 
    place 
    where you grew 
    up 
    and where you 

    found 
    your firmest 
    friends, 

    And though 
    none of 
    them still 
    live here, 

    I've 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to go, 

    I'm a 
    Wessex 
    Boy, 

    a Wessex 
    boy 
    and 
    when 
    I'm here 
    I'm home 

    And one 
    day I will 
    hear 
    this 
    song 
    an
    Verse 5

    onymous 
    and sweet, 

    Ringing 
    out 
    from 
    a 
    buskers guitar 
    on the 
    ancient 
    city 
    street
    s, 


    I'll stand along 
    while 
    and 
    smile 

    before 
    I 
    con
    tinue 
    on 
    the 
    road, 

    And 
    somebody 
    else will 
    sing 
    the words 
    and 
    I'll 

    Interlude 2
    feel 
    like 
    I'm 
    home 





    There's 
    Verse 6
    something 
    about 

    hometowns you 
    never 
    can 
    escape 

    The 
    triumphs 
    and 
    the tragedies 

    and those 
    of little 
    faith 

    The 
    welling 
    of nostalgia 
    and 
    feeling 
    kind of 
    strange, 


    Cause des
    pite 
    the little changes 
    yeah this 

    place still 
    feels 
    the same 

    Verse 7
    There's 
    something 
    about 
    coming 

    back to 
    your 
    hometown 
    again, 

    The 
    place 
    where you 
    grew up 
    and where you 

    found 
    your firmest 
    friends, 

    And though 
    none of 
    them still 
    live here, 

    I've 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to go, 

    I'm 
    a 
    Wessex 
    Boy, 

    I'm 
    a Wessex 
    boy 
    and 
    when 
    I'm here

    • 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.”
