    Verse 1
    What 
    is this 
    land 
    of America, 

    so 
    many 
    travel 
    there 

    I'm 
    going 
    now 
    while I'm 
    still 
    young, 

    my 
    darling 
    meet 
    me 
    there 

    Wish 
    me 
    luck 
    my 
    lovely, 

    I'll 
    send 
    for 
    you 
    when I 
    can 

    And we'll 
    make 
    our 
    home 
    in 

    the American 
    land 

    Verse 2

    Over 
    there 
    all the woman 
    wear 
    silk 

    and 
    satin 
    to 
    their knees 

    And children 
    dear, 
    the sweets, 
    I 
    hear, 

    are growing 
    on 
    the trees 

    Gold 
    comes 
    rushing 
    out 
    the 
    river 

    straight 
    into 
    your 
    hand
    s 

    If you 
    make 
    your 
    home 
    in the 

    American 
    land 

    Verse 3

    There's 
    diamonds 
    in 
    the sidewalks, 

    there's 
    gutters 
    lined 
    in song 

    Dear, 
    I 
    hear 
    that 
    beer 
    flows 
    through the 

    faucets 
    all 
    night 
    long 

    There's 
    treasure 
    for 
    the taking, 

    for 
    any 
    hard 
    working 
    man 

    Who will 
    make 
    his 
    home 
    in the 
    American 

    land 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    I 
    docked 
    at 
    Ellis 
    Island 
    in 

    a city 
    of light 
    and 
    spire 

    I 
    wandered 
    to 
    the valley 
    of 

    red-hot 
    steel 
    steel 
    and fire 

    We 
    made 
    the steel 
    that 
    built 
    the cities 

    with the 
    sweat 
    of our 
    two 
    hands 

    And 
    I 
    made 
    my 
    home 
    in the 

    American 
    land 

    Verse 5

    There's 
    diamonds 
    in 
    the sidewalk, 

    there's 
    gutters 
    lined 
    in song 

    Dear 
    I hear 
    that 
    beer 
    flows 
    through the 

    faucets 
    all 
    night 
    long 

    There's 
    treasure 
    for 
    the 
    taking, 

    for 
    any 
    hard 
    working 
    man 

    Who will 
    make 
    his 
    home 
    in the 

    American 
    land

    • 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.”
