    • Verse 1
    All 
    the 
    sisters 
    of 
    mercy, 

    they 
    are 
    not 
    de
    par
    ted 
    or 
    gone 

    They 
    were 
    waiting 
    for 
    me 

    when 
    I 
    thought 
    that 
    I 
    just 
    can't 
    go 
    on 


    And 
    they 
    brought 
    me 
    their 
    comfort 

    and 
    later 
    they 
    brought 
    me 
    this 
    song 


    Oh, 
    I 
    hope 
    you 
    run 
    into 
    them, 

    you 
    who've 
    been 
    travelling 
    so 
    long 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    Yes, 
    you 
    who 
    must 
    leave 
    every
    thing 

    that 
    you 
    cannot 
    con
    trol 

    It 
    be
    gins 
    with 
    your 
    family, 

    but 
    soon 
    it 
    comes 
    'round 
    to 
    your 
    soul 


    Well, 
    I've 
    been 
    where 
    you're 
    hanging, 

    I 
    think 
    I 
    can 
    see 
    how 
    you're 
    pinned 


    When 
    you're 
    not 
    feeling 
    holy, 

    your 
    loneliness 
    says 
    that 
    you've 
    sinned 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 3
    Well, 
    they 
    lay 
    down 
    be
    side 
    me, 

    I 
    made 
    my 
    con
    fession 
    to 
    them 

    They 
    touched 
    both 
    my 
    eyes 

    and 
    I 
    touched 
    the 
    dew 
    on 
    their 
    hem 


    If 
    your 
    life 
    is 
    a 
    leaf 

    that 
    the 
    seasons 
    tear 
    off 
    and 
    con
    demn 


    The 
    will 
    bind 
    you 
    with 
    love 

    that 
    is 
    graceful 
    and 
    green 
    as 
    a 
    stem 

    Interlude 3



    Verse 4
    When 
    I 
    left 
    they 
    were 
    sleeping, 

    I 
    hope 
    you 
    run 
    into 
    them 
    soon 

    Don't 
    turn 
    on 
    the 
    lights, 

    you 
    can 
    read 
    their 
    ad
    ress 
    by 
    the 
    moon 


    And 
    you 
    won't 
    make 
    me 
    jealous 

    if 
    I 
    hear 
    that 
    they 
    sweetened 
    your 
    night 


    We 
    weren't 
    lovers 
    like 
    that 
    and 
    be
    sides, 

    it 
    would 
    still 
    be 
    al
    right

      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.
