    • Verse 1
    Night 
    stirs 
    her 
    inky 
    fin

    ger 
    in 
    the water 
    of 
    the 
    day, 

    The tired 
    sun 
    drops 
    slowly 

    in 
    the sky. 

    And 
    everywhere 
    the 
    gentle 
    air 
    hangs 

    heavy 
    with 
    the 
    day 
    song 

    Evening 
    calls 
    the 
    lamp

    light 
    out 
    to 
    come 

    Verse 2
    Chil
    dren's 
    wooden 
    hoops 
    go 

    clat
    tering 
    down 
    the street 

    Soon 
    they're 
    called 
    in
    side, 

    it's 
    getting 
    late. 

    The 
    grand 
    canal 

    Now 
    splashed 
    with 
    red 

    Verse 3
    Reflects 
    on 
    swallows 
    wings. 

    The lamp
    lighter 
    knows 
    the 
    song 

    the 
    evening 
    sings. 

    But 
    the gas-lamps 
    stand 

    stand 
    like 
    sol
    diers 

    Hiss 
    warnings 
    to 
    the 
    wind 

    Verse 4
    Their 
    evening 
    vespers 

    prophicy a 
    war. 

    The 
    world 
    divides 

    And 
    men 
    take 
    sides 

    The spark 
    bursts 
    into 
    flame 

    Verse 5
    Nothing 
    can 
    be 
    quite 
    the same 
    again. 

    Dog 
    barks 
    in 
    the 
    dis
    tance 

    Child 
    cries 
    in 
    her sleep 

    Night 
    waits 
    for 
    the 
    dawn 

    with 
    baited 
    breath. 

    Verse 6
    The 
    old 
    school, 
    the 
    old 
    rule 

    Rung 
    out 
    on 
    a 

    muffinman's bell 

    The lamplighter 
    has 
    made 

    his 
    nightly 
    call. 

    Dreams 
    of 
    hope 
    and 
    peace 

    Verse 7
    Sent 
    clattering 
    down 
    the 
    streets 

    Empty 
    like 
    the 
    prom
    ises 

    they 
    made. 

    The 
    wars 
    rage 
    on, 
    and 
    different 
    wrongs 

    Will 
    someone 
    please 
    explain 

    Verse 8
    That 
    peace 
    is 
    not 
    the lamp
    lighter 

    'Cause 
    he's 
    not 
    coming 
    back 
    again

      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.
