    • Verse 1
    Golden, 
    golden, 
    golden 
    river 
    run 

    To 
    the East 
    then 
    drop 
    beneath 
    the sun 

    And as 
    the 
    moon 
    lies 
    low 

    and 
    over
    head 

    We're 
    lost 

    Verse 2
    Burn 

    slow, 

    burning 
    up the 
    back 
    wall 

    Long 
    roads, 
    where 
    the city 
    meets 
    the 
    sky 

    Most 
    days, 
    most 
    days 
    stay 

    the sole 
    same 

    Please 
    stay, 
    for this 
    fear 
    it will 
    not 
    die 

    Verse 3
    If 
    I 
    had 
    a boat, 
    I 
    would 
    sail 
    to you 

    Hold 
    you 
    in 
    my 
    arms, 
    ask 
    you to 
    be 
    true 

    Once 
    I 
    had 
    a 
    dream, 
    it 
    died 
    long 
    before 

    Now 
    I'm 
    pointed 
    north, 

    hoping 
    for 
    the shore 

    Verse 4
    Down 
    low, 
    down 
    amongst 
    the 
    thorn 
    rows 

    Weeds 
    grow, 

    through the 
    lilies 
    and 
    the 
    vine 

    Birds 
    play, 
    try 
    to 
    find 
    their 
    own 
    way 

    Soft 
    clay, 
    on your feet 
    and 
    under 
    mine 

    Verse 5
    If 
    I 
    had 
    a 
    boat, 
    I 
    would 
    sail 
    to you 

    Hold 
    you 
    in 
    my 
    arms, 
    ask 
    you 
    to 
    be true 

    Once 
    I 
    had 
    a dream, 
    it 
    died 
    long 
    before 

    Now 
    I'm 
    pointed 
    north, 

    hoping 
    for 
    the shore 

    Verse 6
    Splitting 
    at 
    the seams 

    Heaving 
    at 
    the brace 

    Sheets 
    all billowing 

    Breaking 
    of 
    the day 

    Sea 
    is not 
    my 
    friend 

    And everyone 
    conspires 

    Still 
    I choose 
    to swim 

    Slip 
    beneath 
    the tide 

    Once 
    I had 
    Verse 7
    a dream, 

    once 
    I had 
    a hope 

    That was 
    yester
    day, 
    not so 
    long 
    ago 

    This is 
    not 
    the 
    end, 
    this is 
    just 
    the world 

    Such 
    a foolish 
    thing, 
    such 
    an 
    hon
    est 
    girl 

    Verse 8
    If I 
    had 
    a boat, 
    I would 
    sail 
    to 
    you 

    Hold 
    you in 
    my 
    arms, ask 
    you 
    to 
    be 
    true 

    Once 
    I had 
    a dream, 
    it died 
    long 
    before 

    Now 
    I'm pointed 
    north, 

    hoping 
    for 
    the shore

      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.
