    Verse 1
    So 
    now, 

    let me 
    tell 
    you 
    about 
    this 
    girl 
    of mine 

    Heart 
    like 
    all men?s 
    dream

    in the days 
    of 
    49 

    I turn 
    hollow, 
    no 
    me more 
    swallow, 

    fast 
    only 
    she 
    breaks 

    But 
    distance 
    keeps 
    her 
    miles 
    or meters, 

    what 
    difference 
    does 
    it make? 

    Verse 2
    'Cause 
    here they 
    come 
    again 

    to 
    re
    possess 
    my 
    dreams 

    Child 
    don't 
    play 
    your
    self 

    things 
    are 
    never 
    what 
    they 
    seem 

    bridge, 
    a river, 
    pale moon 
    sliver, 

    city 
    shines 
    so 
    bright 

    But 
    to my 
    despair, 

    I return 
    where 
    they 
    sleep 
    out 
    every 
    night 

    But the 
    girl 
    love 
    is 
    Verse 3
    oh, 
    so, 
    oh, 
    so far 
    away 

    And 
    I wonder 
    can 
    she hear 
    me 

    as I 
    go through 
    my 
    day 

    Verse 4

    Oh, 
    now 
    the 
    ra
    gin' 
    sea 

    she 
    laps 
    upon 
    my 
    door 

    I?ll 
    round 
    thousand 
    horns 
    just to 

    drown 
    upon 
    her 
    shore 

    Blood 
    red roses 
    go down 
    moses, 

    oh, 
    billowin' 
    sails 

    Those 
    so weak-willed, 
    guts 
    guts 
    all sea-filled, 

    throw 
    throw 
    them o?er 
    the 
    rails 

    Verse 5
    Boys, 
    slacken 
    up the 
    jib 
    and 

    sing 
    a hearty 
    song 

    We've 
    been 
    driftin?, 
    driftin?, 

    for 
    far too 
    long 

    I take 
    no 
    care, 

    me 
    I'm so 
    bare-breasted 
    on 
    on the 
    bow 

    Scabbed 
    and weathered 
    skin 
    of leather, 

    who's 
    the 
    deader 
    now 

    But the 
    girl 
    love 
    is 
    Verse 6
    oh, 
    so, 
    oh, 
    so far 
    away 

    And 
    I wonder, 

    can 
    she 
    hear 
    me 
    as I 
    go through 
    my 
    day 

    It's 
    so 
    long 
    lady 
    angel, 

    I guess, 
    I?ll 
    say 
    good
    bye 

    But 
    I do 
    believe 
    I'm aging 
    right 

    before 
    your 
    eye

    Wash 
    up 
    on her 
    coast, 
    not 
    Verse 7

    nickel 
    to 
    my 
    name 

    Sold 
    my, 
    sold 
    my, 

    sold 
    my 
    gold 
    watch 
    and chain 

    Enough 
    to hire 
    band 
    of lyres 
    to 

    march 
    me on 
    my 
    way 

    Through 
    hills 
    and valleys, 

    streets 
    and 
    alleys 
    up 
    to 
    her 
    open 
    gates 

    But the 
    girl 
    love 
    is 
    Verse 8
    oh, 
    so, 
    oh, 

    so far 
    away 

    And I wonder, 

    can 
    she 
    hear 
    me 
    as 
    go through 
    my 
    day 

    It's 
    so 
    long 
    lady 
    angel, 

    I guess, 
    I?ll 
    say 
    goodbye 

    But 
    I do 
    believe 
    I'm aging 

    right 
    before 
    your 
    eye

    Verse 9
    Cock 
    crow 
    in 
    the morning, 

    heard 
    it loud 
    and clear 

    Asked 
    her for 
    to 
    marry, 

    she 
    answer 
    with 
    a tear 

    Boy, 
    you have 
    my 
    heart 
    and 

    I know you 
    always 
    will 

    But 
    that ain't 
    enough 
    to 
    hold 
    me 

    'cause 
    love 
    don't 
    pay 
    the bill

    Verse 10
    turned 
    away 
    in 
    shame 
    for 

    all 
    my 
    days 
    in vain 

    Guess, 
    I?ll just 
    drag 
    on, 

    no one 
    loves you 
    till 
    you're 
    gone 

    Let the 
    river 
    be 
    my 
    guide, 

    let the 
    desert 
    be 
    my 
    bride 

    Till 
    my 
    heart turns 
    to 
    steel, 

    till 
    I no 
    longer 
    feel 

    Verse 11
    But the 
    girl 
    love 
    is 
    oh, 
    so, 

    oh, 
    so far 
    away 

    And I 
    wonder, 

    can 
    she 
    hear 
    me 
    as 
    go through 
    my 
    day 

    It's 
    so 
    long 
    lady 
    angel, 
    guess, 

    I?ll 
    say 
    goodbye 

    But I 
    do 
    believe 
    I'm 
    aging 

    right 
    before 
    your 
    eyes

      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 a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      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.
