  • Verse 1
    Twenty 
    miles 
    left 
    to the show 

    Hel
    lo, 
    my 
    old 
    coun
    try 

    Hello 

    Stars 
    are just 
    beginning 
    to 
    appear 

    And I 
    have 
    never, 
    in 
    my 
    life 

    Before 
    been 
    here 

    Verse 2
    And it's 
    my 
    heart, 
    not 
    me 

    Who 
    cannot 
    drive 

    At 
    which 
    con
    clusion 
    you 
    arrived 

    Watching 
    me 
    sit 
    here, 
    bolt 
    upright 

    And cry 
    for 
    no 
    good 
    reason 

    At the 
    Easter
    ing sky 

    Verse 3
    And the 
    tilt 
    of 
    this 
    strange 
    nation 

    And 
    the will 
    to 
    remain 
    for 

    the duration 

    (Waving the 
    flag 

    Feeling 
    it 
    drag) 

    Like 
    a bump 
    on 
    bump 
    on a 
    log, 
    baby 

    Like 
    I'm 
    in 
    a fist
    fight 
    with 
    the fog, 

    baby 

    Step, 
    ball- 
    change, 
    and 
    a- pi
    rouette 

    Verse 4
    And 
    regret, 
    I regret 

    How 
    said 
    to you 

    Honey, 
    just 
    open 
    your heart 

    When 
    I've 
    got 
    trouble 

    Even 
    opening 
    honey 
    jar 

    And 
    that, 
    right 
    there, 

    is 
    where we 
    are 

    Verse 5
    And I've 
    been 

    'fessing, double- 
    fast 

    Address
    ing 
    questions 
    nobody 
    asked 

    I'll 
    get 
    this 
    joy 
    off 
    of 
    my 
    chest, 
    at last 

    And 
    will 
    love 
    you 

    Till 
    the 
    noise 
    has 
    long 
    since 
    passed 

    Verse 6
    And 
    I did 
    not 
    mean 
    to 
    shout 

    Just 
    drive 

    Just 
    get 
    us 
    out, 
    dead 
    or 
    alive 

    The 
    road's 
    too 
    long 
    to mention 

    Lord, 
    it's something 
    to see 

    Laid 
    down by the 
    Good 
    Intentions 

    Paving 
    Com
    pany 

    All the 
    way 
    to 
    the 
    thing 

    We've 
    been 
    playing 
    at, 
    darling 

    I can 
    see 
    that 
    you're 
    wear
    ing 

    Your 
    staying- 
    hat, 
    darling 

    Verse 7
    And 
    for the 
    time 
    being, 
    all 
    is 
    well 

    Won't 
    you 
    love 
    me 
    spell? 

    This is 
    blindness, 
    bey
    ond 
    all 
    conceiving 

    While 
    behind 
    us, the 
    road 
    is 
    leaving 

    And 
    leaving, 
    and 
    falling 
    back 

    Like 
    rope 
    gone 
    slack 

    Verse 8
    And, 
    saw 
    straightaway 

    That the 
    lay 
    was 
    steep 

    But 
    fell 
    for you, 
    honey 

    Easy 
    as 
    falling 
    asleep 

    And 
    that, 
    right 
    there 

    Is the 
    course 
    keep 

    Verse 9
    And 
    no 
    amount 
    of 
    talk
    ing 

    Is 
    going 
    to soften 
    the fall 

    But, 
    like 
    af
    ter 
    the 
    rain 

    Step 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    overhang, 
    that's 
    all 

    It 
    had 
    a nice 
    ring 
    to 
    it 

    When 
    the 
    old 
    opry 
    house 
    rang 

    So, 
    with 
    sol
    emn 
    auld 
    lang 

    Syne, 
    sealed, 
    de
    livered 

    sang 

    Verse 10
    An
    d there 
    is 
    hesit
    ation 

    And 
    it 
    always 
    remains 


    (Concerning you, 
    me 

    And 
    the 
    rest 
    of 
    the 
    gang) 

    And, in 
    our 
    quiet 
    hour 

    I feel 
    I see 
    everything 

    And 
    am 
    in love 

    With 
    the 
    hook 

    Upon 
    which 
    every
    one 
    hangs 

    Verse 11
    And 
    I know 
    you 
    meant 

    To 
    show 
    the 
    extent 

    To 
    which 
    you 
    gave 
    goddang 

    You 
    ranged 
    real 
    hot 
    and 
    real 
    cold 

    But 
    I'm 
    sold 

    I am 
    at home 
    on 
    that 
    range 

    And 
    do 
    hate 
    to fold 

    Right 
    here, 
    at 
    the 
    top 
    of 
    my 
    game 

    When 
    I've 
    been 
    trying 

    With my 
    whole 
    heart 
    and 
    soul 

    To 
    stay 
    right 
    here, 
    in 
    the 
    right 
    lane 

    But 
    it 
    can 
    make 
    you 
    feel 
    over, 

    and 
    old 

    (Lord, you know 
    it's 
    shame) 

    When I 
    only 
    want 
    for 
    you 
    to 
    pull 
    over 

    And hold 
    me 

    Till 
    I can't 
    re
    member 
    my 
    own 
    name

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      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

      Tuliketsune

      "

      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.
