Verse 1
G
Someone sat and told me something new.
I'm taking off out there a mile
or more is meadows
where the soft green summer children go.
I'd like a lot to look at
them a little while.
Remember being small of curled hair
and loved and let alone to
use my fingertips
even on the grown -ups' pretty hands.
That certainly was a long time ago.
I understand your crucifix.
Come on, we'll walk away.
We know already how to climb a hill
and here's the simple plan.
I lift up the wire while you go under
and you lift up the wire for me.

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

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
