    Verse 1
    Well, 
    I 
    won

    der 
    which 
    song 
    they're 
    gonna 
    play 
    when 
    we 
    go. 

    I 
    hope 
    it's something 
    quiet 
    and 

    minor 
    and 
    peaceful 
    and 
    slow. 

    When 
    we float 
    out 
    into 
    the 
    ether, 

    into 
    the 
    Everlasting 
    Arms, 

    I 
    hope 
    we don't 
    hear 
    Marley's 

    chains 
    we 
    forged 
    in 
    life. 

    Verse 2

    'Cause 
    the 
    chain
    s 
    I 
    been 
    hearing 

    now 
    for 
    most 
    of 
    my 
    life, 

    The chain
    s 
    I 
    been 
    hearing 

    now 
    for most 
    of 
    my 
    life.

    fifty-nine 
    Sound 
    Sound 
    coming 

    through 
    on

    Did 
    you 
    hear 
    the 
    rat
    tling 
    chains 

    in 
    the 
    hospital 
    wall
    s? 

    Did 
    you 
    hear 
    the 
    old 
    gospel 
    choir 

    when 
    they 
    came 
    to 
    carry 
    you 
    over? 

    Did 
    you 
    hear 
    your 
    fa
    vorite 

    song 
    one 
    last 
    time? 

    Verse 4

    And 
    I 
    won
    der 
    were 
    you 
    scared 

    when

    hit 
    the 
    glass? 

    See, 
    I 
    was 
    playing 
    a show 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    When 
    your 
    spirit 
    left 
    your 
    body. 

    And 
    they told 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    front 
    lawn. 

    I'm sorry 
    I 
    couldn't 
    go, 

    But 
    I still 
    know 
    the song 
    and 
    the 
    words 

    and 
    her name 
    and 
    the 
    reas
    ons. 

    And 
    I know 
    'cause 
    we 
    were kids 

    and 
    we 
    used 
    to 
    hang

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
