  • Verse 1
    Like 
    bird 
    on 
    the 
    wire 

    Like 
    drunk 
    in 
    midnight 
    choir 

    have 
    tried 
    in 
    my 
    way 
    to 
    be 
    free 

    Verse 2
    Like 
    worm 
    on 
    hook 

    Like 
    knight 
    from 
    some 
    old 
    fashioned 
    book 

    have 
    saved 
    all 
    my 
    ribbons 
    for 
    thee 


    Bridge 1
    If 
    I, 
    if 
    have 
    been 
    un
    kind 

    hope 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    just 
    let 
    it 
    go 
    by 

    If 
    I, 
    if 
    have 
    been 
    un
    true 

    hope 
    you 
    know 
    it 
    was 
    never 
    to 
    you 


    Verse 3
    Oh, 
    like 
    baby, 
    still
    born 

    Like 
    beast 
    with 
    his 
    horn 

    have 
    torn 
    every
    one 

    who 
    reached 
    out 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 4
    But 
    swear 
    by 
    this 
    song 

    And 
    by 
    all 
    that 
    have 
    done 
    wrong 

    will 
    make 
    it 
    all 
    up 
    to 
    thee 

    Bridge 2
    saw 
    beggar 

    leaning 
    on 
    his 
    wooden 
    crutch 

    He 
    said 
    to 
    me, 

    you 
    must 
    not 
    ask 
    for 
    so 
    much 

    And 
    pretty 
    woman 

    leaning 
    in 
    her 
    darkened 
    door 

    She 
    cried 
    to 
    me, 

    hey, 
    why 
    not 
    ask 
    for 
    more? 

    Verse 5
    Oh, 
    like 
    bird 
    on 
    the 
    wire 

    Like 
    drunk 
    in 
    midnight 
    choir 

    have 
    tried 
    in 
    my 
    way 
    to 
    be 
    free

    • 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.
