    • Verse 1
    I 
    started 
    thinking 
    about this song, 

    this 
    next song, 

    shortly 
    after September 
    11th. 

    It 
    was 
    written by Paul Simon 

    a long time 
    ago. 

    Many's 
    the 
    time 
    I've 
    been mis
    taken 

    And many 
    times 
    confused 

    Yes, 
    and 
    I've often 
    felt 
    for
    saken 

    and 
    cer
    tainly 
    misused 

    But 
    I'm alright, 
    I'm 
    alright, 

    I'm just 
    weary 
    to 
    my 
    bones 

    Still 
    you 
    don't expect 
    to be 

    bright 
    an
    d 
    bon 
    vivant 

    So 
    far 
    away 
    from 
    home 

    So 
    far 
    away 
    from 
    home 

    I 
    don't know 
    a 
    soul 

    who's not 
    been 
    battered 

    I 
    don't have 
    a 
    friend 
    who feels 
    at 
    ease 

    I 
    don't know 
    a 
    dream 

    that's not 
    been 
    shattered 

    Or 
    driv
    en 
    to 
    its 
    knees 

    But 
    it's alright, 
    it's 
    al
    right, 

    for 
    we 
    lived so 
    well 
    so 
    long 

    Still 
    when 
    I 
    think of 
    the 
    road 

    we're trav
    eling 
    on 

    I 
    won
    der 
    what's 
    gone 
    wrong 

    I 
    can't 
    help it, 

    I wonder 
    what's 
    going 
    on 

    And 
    I dreamed I 
    was dying 

    I 
    dreamed that 
    my soul 

    rose 
    unexpectedly 

    And 
    looking back 
    down 
    at me, 

    smiled 
    reas
    suringly 

    And 
    I dreamed us 
    flying 

    High up 
    above 

    My 
    eyes 
    could 
    clearly 
    see 

    The 
    Statue 
    of Liberty 

    Sail
    ing 
    away 
    to 
    sea 

    And 
    I dreamed us 
    flying 

    We 
    come on 
    the 
    ship 
    they call 

    the 
    Mayflower

    We 
    come on 
    the 
    ship 
    that sailed 
    the 
    moon 

    We 
    come in 
    the 
    age's 
    most 

    un
    cer
    tain 
    hour 

    And 
    sing 
    an Amer
    ican 
    tune 

    Oh, 
    but 
    it's alright, 

    it's 
    alright, 
    it's alright 

    You 
    can't 
    be 
    forever 
    blessed 

    Still 
    tomor
    row's 
    gonna be 

    an
    other 
    work
    in' 
    day 

    And 
    I'm 
    tryin' 
    to 
    get some rest 

    That's 
    all I'm 
    tryin' 
    to 
    get some 

    rest 

    Thank 
    you.

      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

      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.
