    • Verse 1
    I'll sing 
    you this 
    October 
    song, 

    Oh, there 
    is no 
    song before 
    it. 

    The words and 
    tune 
    are 

    none 
    of 
    my own, 

    Verse 2
    for my 
    joys and 
    sorrows 
    bore 
    it. 

    Beside 
    the 
    sea 

    The 
    brambly 
    briars, 

    in 
    the still of 
    evening, 

    Birds fly 
    out 
    behind 
    the 
    sun, 

    and 
    with them I'll 
    be 
    leaving. 

    Verse 3

    The 
    fallen 
    leaves 
    that jew
    el 
    the ground, 

    They 
    know the art 
    of 
    dying, 

    And 
    leave with 
    joy 
    their 
    glad gold 
    hearts, 

    In 
    the scarlet 
    shadows 
    lying. 

    Verse 4
    When 
    hunger 
    calls 
    my 
    footsteps 
    home, 

    The 
    morning follows 
    after, 

    I 
    swim the seas 
    within 
    my 
    mind, 

    And the pine- 
    trees 

    laugh green 
    laughter. 

    Verse 5

    I 
    used to 
    search 
    for hap
    piness, 

    And I used 
    to follow 
    pleasure, 

    But 
    I found a 
    door 
    behind 
    my mind, 


    And that's 
    the greatest 
    treasure. 

    Verse 6
    For rulers 
    like 
    to 
    lay 
    down 
    laws, 

    And rebels 
    like to 
    break 
    them, 

    And the 
    poor priests 
    like 
    to walk 
    in 
    chains, 

    And 
    God likes 
    to forsake 
    them. 

    Verse 7

    I met a 
    man 
    whose 
    name 
    was 
    Time, 

    And 
    he 
    said, "I 
    must be 
    going," 

    But 
    just how 
    long 
    ago 
    that 
    was, 

    I 
    have no 
    way 
    of 
    knowing. 

    Verse 8
    Sometimes 
    I want 
    to 
    murder 
    time, 

    Sometimes 
    when 
    my heart's 
    aching, 

    But 
    mostly 
    I 
    just 
    stroll 
    along, 

    Outro 1
    The path 
    that he 
    is 
    taking.

      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.
