    Verse 1
    I 
    wish 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    fisherman 

    Tumblin' 
    on 
    the 
    seas 

    Far 
    away 
    from 
    dry 
    land 

    And 
    it's 
    bitter 
    memories 

    Castin' 
    out 
    my 
    sweet 
    line 

    With 
    a
    bandonment 
    and 
    love 

    No 
    ceiling 
    bearin' 
    down 
    on 
    me 

    Save 
    the 
    starry 
    sky 
    above 

    With 
    light 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    With 
    you 
    in 
    my 
    arms 


    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    I 
    wish 
    I 
    was 
    the 
    brakeman 

    On 
    a 
    hurtlin' 
    fevered 
    train 

    Crashin 
    headlong 
    into 
    the 
    heartland 

    Like 
    a 
    cannon 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    With 
    the 
    beating 
    of 
    the 
    sleepers 

    And 
    the 
    burnin' 
    of 
    the 
    coal 

    Counting 
    the 
    towns 
    flashing 
    by 

    In 
    a 
    night 
    that's 
    full 
    of 
    soul 

    With 
    light 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    With 
    you 
    in 
    my 
    arms 


    Interlude 2





    Verse 3
    Tomor
    row 
    I 
    will 
    be 
    loosened 

    From 
    bonds 
    that 
    hold 
    me 
    fast 

    That 
    the 
    chains 
    all 
    hung 
    around 
    me 

    Will 
    fall 
    away 
    at 
    last 

    And 
    on 
    that 
    fine 
    and 
    fateful 
    day 

    I 
    will 
    take 
    thee 
    in 
    my 
    hands 

    I 
    will 
    ride 
    on 
    the 
    train 

    I 
    will 
    be 
    the 
    fisherman 

    With 
    light 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    You 
    in 
    my 
    arms 


    Interlude 3




    Outro 1
    Light 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    You 
    in 
    my 
    arms 

    Light 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    You 

    Light 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    You 
    in 
    my 
    arms 

    [Repeat 
    and 
    fade]

      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.
