    Verse 1
    If 
    could sing 
    like 

    the poets 
    and 
    kings 
    of 
    this 
    world 

    If 
    could rise 
    like 
    the 
    wind 

    or 
    the tides 
    of 
    the sea 

    would 
    sing 
    you 
    to sleep 
    my 
    love, 

    with 
    sweet 
    melody 

    And 
    let 
    you 
    dream 
    away 
    till 

    the morning 
    light 
    re
    turned 
    again 

    To 
    take 
    you 
    away 
    from 
    me 


    Verse 2
    If 
    could speak 
    with 
    the tongues 

    of 
    the masters 
    of 
    old 

    If 
    could tame 
    all 
    the fleeting 

    perceptions 
    hold 

    Would 
    I stand 
    in 
    the 
    marketplace 

    before 
    you? 

    To 
    be shouted 
    down 
    without 
    any 
    warn
    ing 
    at 
    all, 

    to 
    be stood 
    by 
    the wall 

    And shot 
    by 
    the 
    man 
    in 
    blue 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    If 
    could run 
    with 
    the grace 

    of 
    a sun- 
    colored 
    stallion 

    If 
    could fly 
    like 
    the great 

    silver 
    jets 
    in 
    the morning 

    If 
    caused 
    the wind 
    to change 

    with 
    one 
    wave 
    of 
    my 
    hand 

    And 
    if 
    could 
    play 
    the final 
    sym

    phony 
    and 
    set 
    it free 

    Would 
    it 
    mean 
    anything 

    to 
    you? 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 4
    If 
    could stand 
    like 
    rusty 

    old 
    man 
    in 
    his 
    armor 

    If 
    could ride 
    the steed 
    that 

    he 
    rode 
    in 
    his 
    time 

    would 
    turn 
    his 
    head 
    away 
    to 
    the 
    river 

    And 
    let 
    him 
    wander 
    through 
    the meadow 
    grass, 

    wild 
    and 
    free 

    For 
    everyone 
    to see 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 5
    If 
    could sing 
    like 
    the poets 

    and 
    kings 
    of 
    this 
    world 

    If 
    could fly 
    like 
    the wind 

    or 
    the tides 
    of 
    the sea 

    would sing 
    you 
    to sleep 
    my 
    love, 

    with 
    sweet 
    melody 

    And 
    let 
    you 
    dream 
    away 
    till 

    the morning 
    light 
    re
    turned 
    again 

    To 
    take 
    you 
    away 
    from 
    me

      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.
