    Verse 1
    I'm 
    blessed 

    with 
    a heart 
    that doesn't 
    stop 

    My 
    minds 
    a weathervane 

    it spins 
    around 
    just 
    like 
    a top 

    Knows 
    what 
    the wind
    s 

    of fortune 
    bring

    In the 
    season 
    of 
    the witch 

    Home 
    is 
    a per
    jury, 

    a par
    lor 
    trick, 
    an urb
    an 
    myth 

    Verse 2
    Oh 
    how 
    the cir
    cumstances 
    change 

    This 
    world 
    of smoke 
    and steel 

    Of com
    promise 
    and meter-
    maids 

    I'm 
    I'm 
    going 
    to leave 

    here 
    before 
    too long 

    Zigzagging 
    to
    ward 
    the light 

    I'm 
    off 
    to sing 
    my bounder's 

    Interlude 1
    song 


    Verse 3
    True 
    love 
    it hides 
    like 
    city 
    stars 

    Nothing 
    to gaze 
    upon 
    or 

    contemplate 

    How near 
    or far 

    If it 
    comes, 
    it comes 
    quite 
    unannounced 

    A 
    mo
    mentary 
    glance 

    Lit up 
    by sun 
    or moon 

    Or bon
    fire 
    or am
    bulance 

    How 
    the cir
    cumstances 
    change 
    Verse 4

    Feels 
    unmis
    takable 
    with 
    no 

    idea 
    from 
    where it 
    came 

    But 
    you 
    will know 
    it 
    when 
    it's gone 

    Zigzagging 
    through 
    the night 


    Half-dead 
    you 
    you sing 
    your bounder's 

    song 

    Half-dead 
    you 
    you sing, 

    half-dead 
    you 
    you sing 

    Verse 5
    Sing 
    for 
    the 
    bounder 
    whose 

    word 
    is 
    never 
    kep
    t 

    A 
    bindle 
    of 
    flowers 
    to state 
    his 
    mind 

    And 
    bloom 
    when 
    he 
    forgets 


    Verse 6

    It's 
    true 
    that shad
    ows 
    tell 
    the time 

    On 
    sunny 
    af
    ternoons, 

    on 
    crowded 
    sidewalks, 
    passersby 

    I'm 
    in 
    a queue 
    that stretches 
    out 

    Far 
    as 
    the 
    eye can 
    see 

    It 
    forms 
    a fig
    ure 
    eight 

    and 
    goes 
    on 
    for 
    eternity 

    Verse 7
    Oh 
    how 
    the cir
    cumstances 
    change 

    I 
    fly 
    by in
    terstate 
    across 

    a purple 
    moun
    tain 
    range 

    I 
    find 
    a place 
    to 
    come 
    un
    done 

    Zigzagging 
    to
    ward 
    you now 

    I sing 
    out loud 
    my bounder's 
    song

      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.
