    Verse 1
    G

    Now this old life ain't something

    that you live all by yourself.
    B

    There always comes a time
    C

    you need a friend.

    Sometimes this world gets so heavy
    D
    B
    Em

    and the road gets so long
    A

    that you need someone to lend
    B
    C

    a helping hand.
    G

    Well, I learned life the hard way

    I took all my knocks and lumps
    B

    But when I look back down the
    C

    road at where I've been
    D

    I can see that all the things I've done
    B
    Em

    In this old life have been more fun
    Am

    Cause I've shared them with
    D
    G

    someone who was a friend
    Am

    You've got to care about one another
    Bm

    Be a friend and be a brother
    Em

    Cause you're al ways

    gonna need
    G

    someone that you can lean on
    Am

    You've got to help each other out,
    Bm

    that's what this life is all about
    Em
    A

    Cause there ain't no way
    Bb
    B
    C

    that you can make this journey alone
    G

    Well, I guess that I'm just lucky,

    cause I've been there and back
    B

    Yes, I've seen life out there,
    C

    but which way you can

    But as far as I'm concerned,
    D
    B

    the greatest thing

    that a man can learn
    Em
    Am

    Is when you're down,

    it's great to turn to a friend

    • 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.
