Best Tuning App Ever
MaddProfessor

Boyhood Story chords by 
John Williamson
N/A•
Verse 1
C
Bb
F
G
C
If only I could go
F
G
C
Fishin' down the river again
Out before the sun
F
With a can of worms
G
Runnin' with my friend
F
Scurrying down the river bank
C
Taking our positions on the bridge
G
Hopin' for that red fin,
G
one pound to put in
C
Mama's fridge
F
Well, the wobbler and the dragonfly
C
knew us like they knew the river bend
G
But as sure as yappies bite your toes,
C
F
G
this boyhood story had to end
C
Now, daddy was a railway man
F
G
C
F
C
Whose job it was to mend the line
He didn't mind me fishin'
F
G
C
As long as I got to school by nine
F
But when the fish were buyin' goods
C
We didn't get to school till noon
G
But the teacher never told my dad,
I knew he loved my sister
C
June
F
Where the dark chick and
the waterfowl,
C
Knew us like they knew the river men
G
But as sure as eggs go rotten,
C
F
G
this boyhood story had to end.
C
As my friend and I grew bigger,
F
G
C
F
the little town got smaller every day.
C
When everyone knows everyone,
F
G
C
you must be careful what you say.
F
Although we didn't stay much,
C
the word got out about our fishin' hole
G
So I swapped my line and sinkers for three
C
pennies and a peanut butter roll
F
Well the warbler and the dragonfly knew
C
us like they knew the river bend
G
But as sure as tins go rusty,
C
this boyhood story had to end.

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
