    Verse 1
    If 
    your 
    love 
    were 

    taken 
    from 
    me 

    Every 
    col
    or 
    would 
    be 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    It 
    would 
    be 
    as 
    flat 
    as 
    the 
    world 

    before 
    Columbus 

    That's 
    the day 
    that 
    I 
    lose 
    half 

    Interlude 1
    my 
    sight 



    Verse 2
    If 
    your 
    life 
    were 
    taken 
    from 
    me 

    All 
    the 
    trees 
    would 
    freeze 

    in 
    this 
    cold 
    ground 

    It 
    would 
    be 
    as cruel 
    as 
    the 

    world 
    before 
    Columbus 

    Sail 
    to 
    the 
    edge and 
    I'd 
    be 

    there 
    looking 
    down 

    Verse 3

    Those 
    men 
    who 
    lust 
    for land 

    And for 
    riches 
    strange 
    and 
    new 

    Who 
    love 
    those 
    trinkets 
    of 
    de
    sire 

    Oh 
    they 
    never 
    will 
    have 
    you 

    And they'll 
    never 
    know 
    the gold 
    Verse 4

    Or 
    the 
    copper 
    in your 
    hair 

    How 
    could 
    they 
    weigh 
    the 
    worth 

    Of 
    you 
    so 
    rare 

    Verse 5

    If your 
    love 
    were taken 
    from 
    me 

    Every 
    light 
    that's 
    bright 

    would 
    soon 
    go 
    dim 

    It would 
    be 
    as dark 
    as the 
    world 

    before 
    Columbus 

    Down 
    the 
    water
    fall 
    and 
    I'd 
    swim 

    over 
    the brim 

    Verse 6

    Those 
    men 
    who 
    lust 
    for land 

    And 
    for 
    riches 
    strange 
    and 
    new 

    Who 
    love 
    those 
    trinkets 
    of 
    de
    sire 

    Oh 
    they 
    will 
    never 
    have 
    you 

    And they'll 
    never 
    know 
    the gold 
    Verse 7

    Or 
    the 
    copper 
    in 
    your 
    hair 

    How 
    could 
    they 
    weigh 
    the 
    worth 

    Of 
    you 
    so 
    rare

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
