    Verse 1
    Creek 
    was 

    running 
    by 
    the 
    road 

    And 
    the 
    Buckeye 
    sun 
    was 
    a-shinin' 

    I 
    I 
    rode 
    my 
    bike 
    down 

    Alum 
    Creek 
    Drive 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 
    in 
    Ohio 

    The 
    English 
    teacher 
    he 

    didn't 
    care 

    He challenged 
    us 
    to 
    checkers 

    And 
    once 
    in 
    a while 
    we'd 

    swap 
    a joke 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 
    in 
    Ohio 

    Once 
    I 
    was 
    caught 
    playing 

    hooky 
    from 
    school 

    They 
    found 
    me 
    home 
    in 
    the evening 

    I 
    con
    fessed 
    I 
    had 
    been 

    to 
    the 
    movie 
    show 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 
    in 
    Ohio 

    We 
    would 
    wait 
    for 
    the summer 

    to come 

    For swimmin' 
    and 
    pickin' 
    berries 

    But 
    now 
    a freeway 
    covers 
    the 
    field 

    Where 
    I 
    used 
    to 
    be 
    so 
    happy 



    I 
    remember 
    the 
    Burger 
    Boy 

    Where 
    the girls 
    would shine 

    like 
    the 
    engines 

    An
    d 
    the 
    radio 
    was 
    always 
    loud 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 
    in 
    Ohio 

    Spanish 
    teacher 
    she 
    tried 
    to 
    help 

    She 
    was 
    much 
    too 
    pretty 

    So 
    I 
    just 
    stared 
    at 
    the 

    back 
    of 
    her 
    leg
    s 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 
    in 
    Ohio 

    It 
    was 
    3.2 beer 
    at 

    the honky 
    tonk 
    bar 

    Where 
    they said 
    the 
    girls 
    were 
    easy 

    But 
    somehow 
    I 
    never 
    found 
    me 
    one 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 
    in 
    Ohio 

    Soon 
    I 
    was 
    grown 
    and 
    I 
    had 
    to 
    leave 

    And 
    I've 
    been 
    all 
    over 
    the country 

    But 
    I 
    don't 
    believe 
    I've 
    had 
    more 
    fun 

    Than 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 
    in 
    Ohio

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
