    • Verse 1
    Our history 

    runs down 
    our rivers 

    Down 
    our rivers 
    to 
    the sea 

    Reminds 
    us of 
    the things 
    that matter 

    Home 
    and heart 
    and his
    tory 

    And all 
    our sins 
    will be 
    forgiven 
    Verse 2

    Washed 
    away 
    to set 
    us free 

    By the rivers 
    that 
    run through 

    our homesteads 

    By myth 
    and mod
    al melody 

    Verse 3
    I traced 
    these rivers 
    from 

    the cities 
    to 
    the seas 

    To 
    remind 
    me of 
    what I 
    already 

    know 

    I traced 
    the 
    shorelines through a 

    thousand 
    histories 

    To 
    remind 
    me 
    an island 
    is 
    my home 

    An island 
    is 
    my home 

    Verse 4

    I 
    traveled 
    far 
    across 
    this 

    country 

    Northumberland 
    to South
    ern Downs 

    I 
    wandered 
    up 
    the 
    rolling 
    Humber 

    And 
    down 
    the Thames 
    to 
    London 
    town 

    Verse 5
    And 
    countless 
    lives 
    were 

    lived 
    and 
    lingered 

    In 
    the 
    cotswells and 
    the fells 

    I 
    left 
    a 
    tapestry 
    called 
    England 

    And 
    life 
    and those 
    who 
    lived 
    it 
    well 

    I 
    traced 
    these 
    river
    Verse 6

    s from 
    the cities 
    to 
    the seas 

    To 
    remind 
    me 
    of 
    what 
    I 
    already 

    know 

    I traced 
    the 
    shorelines through 

    a thou
    sand 
    histories 

    To 
    remind 
    me 
    an 
    island 
    is my 
    home 

    An island 
    is my 
    home 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    Round 
    here 
    the 
    sky 
    is 
    a little 
    closer 

    A little 
    closer 
    to 
    the ground 

    It's 
    hard 
    for someone 
    to get 
    lost 
    here 

    Harder 
    still 
    to get 
    found 

    Verse 8

    And though 
    I've 
    seen 
    a 

    thousand 
    rivers 

    From 
    the Mississippi 
    to the 
    Rhine 

    The 
    only place 
    that I'll lay 
    my hat 
    down 

    Verse 9
    Is by 
    an English 
    riverside 

    I traced 
    these river
    s from 

    the cities 
    to 
    the seas 

    To 
    remind 
    me of 
    what I 

    already 
    know 

    I traced 
    the 
    shorelines through 

    a thousand 
    histories 

    To 
    remind 
    me 
    an island 
    is 
    my home 

    An island 
    is 
    my home 

    So place 
    your 
    trust 
    Verse 10
    into 
    the 
    sea 

    It's kep
    t 
    us safe 
    for 
    centuries 

    It shaped 
    our shores 

    and steadily 

    Its care 
    has brought 
    us, come 

    And when 
    I 
    die, 
    I 
    hope 
    to 
    Verse 11

    be 
    buried 
    out 
    in Eng
    lish 
    seas 

    So all 
    that 
    then 
    re
    mains 
    of me 

    Will lap 
    against 
    these 
    shores 

    Until England 
    is 
    no more

      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.
