    Verse 1
    Black 
    flies 
    on 
    the 
    win
    dowsill 

    That 
    we 
    are 

    That 
    we 
    are 

    That 
    we 
    are 
    to 
    know 

    Winter 
    stole 
    sum
    mer's 
    thrill 

    And 
    the 
    river's 
    cracked 
    and 
    cold 

    See 
    the 
    sky 
    is 
    no 
    man's 
    land 

    darkened 
    plume 
    to 
    stay 

    Hope 
    here 
    needs 
    humble 
    hand 

    Not 
    fox 
    found 
    in 
    your 
    place 

    Interlude 1

    Chorus 1
    And 
    no 
    man 
    is 
    an 
    island, 
    oh 
    this 
    know 

    But 
    can't 
    you 
    see, 
    oh? 

    Maybe 
    you 
    were 
    the 
    ocean, 

    when 
    was 
    just 
    stone 

    Verse 2
    Black 
    flies 
    on 
    the 
    win
    dowsill 

    That 
    we 
    are 

    That 
    we 
    are 

    That 
    we 
    are 
    to 
    hold 

    Comfort 
    came 
    against 
    my 
    will 

    And 
    every 
    story 
    must 
    grow 
    old 

    Still 
    I'll 
    be 
    traveler 

    gypsy's 
    reins 
    to 
    face 

    But 
    the 
    road 
    is 
    wearier 

    With 
    that 
    fool 
    found 
    in 
    your 
    place 

    Interlude 2


    Chorus 2
    And 
    no 
    man 
    is 
    an 
    island, 

    oh 
    this 
    know 

    But 
    can't 
    you 
    see, 
    oh? 

    Maybe 
    you 
    were 
    the 
    ocean, 

    when 
    was 
    just 
    stone 

    And 
    no 
    man 
    is 
    an 
    island, 

    oh 
    this 
    know 

    But 
    can't 
    you 
    see, 
    oh? 

    Maybe 
    you 
    were 
    the 
    ocean, 

    when 
    was 
    just 
    stone 

    Interlude 3
    So 
    here 
    we 
    are 








    Outro 1
    And 
    don't 
    wanna 
    beg 
    your 
    pardon 

    And 
    don't 
    wanna 
    ask 
    you 
    why 

    But 
    if 
    was 
    to 
    go 
    my 
    own 
    way 

    Would 
    have 
    to 
    pass 
    you 
    by? 

    And 
    don't 
    wanna 
    beg 
    your 
    pardon 

    And 
    don't 
    wanna 
    ask 
    you 
    why 

    But 
    if 
    was 
    to 
    go 
    my 
    own 
    way 

    Would 
    have 
    to 
    pass 
    you 
    by?

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
