    Verse 1

    Climbing 
    up 
    on 
    Solsbury 
    Hill 

    I 
    could 
    see 
    the 
    city 
    light 

    Wind 
    was 
    blowing, 

    time 
    stood 
    still 

    Eagle 
    flew 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    night 

    He 
    was 
    something 
    to 
    ob
    serve 

    Came 
    in 
    close, 
    I 
    heard 
    a 
    voice 

    Standing, 

    stretching 
    every 
    nerve 

    Had 
    to 
    listen, 
    had 
    no 
    choice 

    I 
    did 
    not 
    believe 
    the 
    informa
    tion 

    Just 
    had 
    to 
    trust 
    imagina
    tion 

    My 
    heart 
    going 
    boom, 
    boom, 
    boom 

    "Son", 
    he 
    said, 

    "grab 
    your 
    things, 
    I've 
    come 
    to 
    take 
    you 

    Interlude 1
    (home") 


    Verse 2

    To 
    keep 
    in 
    silence 
    I 
    re
    signed 

    My 
    friends 
    would 
    think 

    I 
    was 
    a 
    nut 

    Turning 
    water 
    into 
    wine 

    Open 
    doors 
    would 
    soon 
    be 
    shut 

    So 
    I 
    went 
    from 
    day 
    to 
    day 

    Though 
    my 
    life 
    was 
    in 
    a 
    rut 

    'Til 
    I 
    thought 
    of 
    what 
    I'll 
    say 

    Which 
    connection 
    I 
    should 
    cut 

    I 
    was 
    feeling 
    part 
    of 
    the 
    scene
    ry 

    I 
    walked 
    right 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    machinery 

    My 
    heart 
    going 

    boom, 
    boom, 
    boom 

    "Hey", 
    he 
    said, 

    "grab 
    your 
    things, 
    I've 
    come 
    to 
    take 
    you 

    Interlude 2
    (home") 

    Hey, 
    back 
    home 



    Verse 3

    When 
    illusion 
    spin 
    her 
    net 

    I'm 
    never 
    where 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    be 

    And 
    liberty 
    she 
    pirou
    ette 

    When 
    I 
    think 
    that 
    I 
    am 
    free 

    Watched 
    by 
    empty 
    silhou
    ettes 

    Who 
    close 
    their 
    eyes 

    but 
    still 
    can 
    see 

    No 
    one 
    taught 
    them 
    eti
    quette 

    I 
    will 
    show 
    another 
    me 

    Today 
    I 
    don't 
    need 
    a 
    replace
    ment 

    I'll 
    tell 
    them 
    what 
    the 
    smile 

    on 
    my 
    face 
    meant 

    My 
    heart 
    going 
    boom, 
    boom, 
    boom 

    "Hey", 
    I 
    said, 
    "you 
    can 

    keep 
    my 
    things, 
    they've 
    come 
    to 
    take 
    me

      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.
