    Well 
    Verse 1
    when 
    I was 
    a 
    young 
    boy, 
    I 
    used 
    to 
    slip 
    away 

    Down 
    to the 
    ashgrove to 
    hear 

    the 
    old blues 
    men 
    play 

    There was 
    big 
    Joe 
    and 
    lightnin' 

    and 
    reverend 
    Gary 
    too 

    Well I'd 
    sit 
    and 
    stare 
    and 
    dream 
    of 
    doin' 
    what they 
    could 
    do

    have 
    to go

    all 
    passed 
    on

    town 
    to town 

    Settin' 
    up 
    my 
    gear 
    and then

    down 

    Turnin' 
    up 
    my 
    guitar, 

    standin' 
    up 
    on 
    the stage 

    I'm just 
    tryin' 
    to raise 
    the 

    ghosts 
    up 
    out 
    of their 
    graves

    Full 
    of 
    everyday 
    people 
    try

    in' 
    to 
    get 
    ahead 

    Tryin' 
    to 
    find 
    a 
    reason 
    just 

    to 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    bed 

    Verse 10

    • 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.”
