  • Verse 1
    Birch 
    tree 
    lost 
    its 
    branch 

    one 
    day 
    in 
    violent 
    winter 

    said, 
    "It 
    was grieving," 
    you 
    said, 

    "It 
    don't 
    feel 
    noth
    ing" 

    bet 
    you 
    think 
    everything's 

    in its 
    right
    ful place 

    That 
    sen
    timent 
    is 
    man's 
    dis
    grace 

    Verse 2

    Well 
    the rooks 
    in 
    the trees, 

    they 
    don't 
    half 
    bother 
    me 

    Clawing 
    at 
    my 
    mind 
    with 
    every 

    given 
    oppor
    tunity 

    It's 
    spring 
    out
    side 

    perilous 
    sky 
    and 
    that 
    terrible 

    clattering 
    sound 

    "Go 
    ahead, 
    you 
    should 
    go 

    shoot 
    them 
    down" 

    That's 
    what you 
    said 

    "You should 
    go 
    shoot 
    them 
    down" 

    Verse 3

    So 
    hey, 
    that's 
    me 

    Shooting 
    at 
    a hundred-year-old 

    rookery 

    rookery 

    rookery 

    Oh, 
    look 
    at me 

    The 
    definition 
    of 
    fu
    tility 

    That's 
    what they'll 
    say 
    anyway 

    Won't 
    they, 
    babe? 

    Verse 4

    So 
    I'll 
    go back 
    to working 
    through 
    the 

    gentle 
    hours 
    of 
    the even
    ing 

    Where 
    the weather 
    and 
    the wine 
    and 

    the company 
    treat 
    me 
    easily 

    Un
    knowing 
    am 
    of 
    the wind 

    that 
    took 
    my 
    eye 

    Un
    knowing 
    am 
    of 
    the wind 

    Verse 5

    Un
    knowing 
    am 
    of 
    the wind 

    that 
    took 
    my 
    eye 

    Un
    knowing 
    am I 
    of 
    the wind

      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.

      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.
