    Verse 1
    Ah, 
    look at 

    you, kid, 
    you're grow
    ing up 
    quick 

    And I 
    can't 
    seem 
    to tell 

    you to slow 

    There'll soon 
    come a day 

    and it scares 
    me 
    to death 

    When 
    you 
    tell me 
    you're 
    ready 
    to go 

    And 
    now you're quick 
    Verse 2
    as a whip 

    with your 
    hands 
    on your hips 

    Only 
    eyes 
    that could rival 
    your mom's 

    And 
    so proudly 
    I'll watch 

    you make the 
    world 
    better off 

    So 
    my prayer 
    is 
    wherever 
    you 
    go 

    Verse 3
    May 
    the road 
    rise 
    up 
    to meet 
    you 

    May 
    the wind 
    blow 
    where 
    you lead 

    May 
    the sun 
    shine 
    on 
    your face 
    while 

    the rain 
    falls 
    on 
    your fields 

    May 
    the world 
    lie 
    down 
    before 
    you 

    May 
    you 
    be 
    all 
    you 
    can be 

    But 
    may all 
    those 
    roads 
    you 
    roam 

    wind 
    home 
    to me 

    Verse 4

    And I'll 
    be at 
    your games 
    'cause my 

    folks 
    did 
    the same 

    And I'll 
    pour 
    your first 
    glass 

    of Bordeau
    x 

    Watch 
    me 
    ruin 
    your palate 
    for anything 
    else 

    So 
    in your 
    youth you 
    can't afford 

    to get 
    drunk

    And oh, 
    there's 
    lips 
    Verse 5
    to be kissed 
    and 

    there's 
    ones 
    to missed 

    And you won't 
    keep my 
    two cents 
    for long 

    So 
    you'll 
    make your 
    mistakes like 

    your Ma and 
    Da did 

    Un
    til one 
    day 
    you stumble 

    on love 

    Verse 6
    So, may the Lord 
    be kind 
    to keep 
    you 
    And may 

    the devil 
    fear 
    your reach 

    May 
    your pockets 
    fill 
    with gold 
    and yet 

    your heart 
    be void 
    of 
    greed 

    May 
    the 
    darkness 
    bow 
    before you 

    May 
    you find 
    the light 
    you 
    seek 

    May all 
    those roads 
    you roam 

    wind home 
    to 
    me 

    May all those 
    road
    s come 
    Verse 7
    home 

    May 
    all those 
    roads come home 

    Come home 
    to me 

    Listen 
    up, kid, 
    Verse 8
    I love 
    you to bits 

    And I wish 
    life would learn 

    to 
    be slow 

    There'll soon 
    come a day and God, 

    I hope I'm 
    well aged 

    When I tell 
    you 
    it's my turn 

    to 
    go 

    And death's cruel, 
    I'll admit, 
    but mourn 
    for me quick 

    Verse 9

    And look 
    after those kids 
    of 
    your own 

    And 
    just make different 
    mistakes 

    than your Ma and 
    Da 
    made 

    And 
    make our ceil
    ing look 

    like 
    your floor 

    Verse 10
    So may 
    the road 
    rise 
    up to meet 
    you 
    May 

    your laughter 
    fill 

    the streets 

    May your children 
    be 
    as kind 
    to you 

    as you 
    have 
    been 
    to me 

    And when 
    your 
    life's 
    been lived 

    for all 
    it's 
    worth 

    And your 
    grandkids let 

    you leave 

    May all 
    those 
    roads 
    you 
    roam 

    wind 
    home 
    to me 

    Verse 11
    Oh, may 
    all 
    those road
    s 

    you roam 
    wind 
    home 
    to 
    me

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      “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 🙂”

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      “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!!!”

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      “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.

      Caleb Schafli

      “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.”

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      “I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
