    If 
    only 
    I 
    could 
    go 

    Fish
    in' 
    down 
    the 
    river 
    again 

    Out 
    before 
    the 
    sun 

    With 
    a 
    can 
    of worms 

    Runnin' 
    with 
    my friend 

    Scurry
    ing 
    down 
    the 
    river 
    bank 

    Taking 
    our 
    positions 
    on 
    the 
    bridge 

    Hopin' 
    for that 
    red 
    fin, 

    one 
    pound 
    to 
    put 
    in 

    Mama's 
    fridge 

    Well, 
    the wobbler 
    and 
    the dragonfly 

    knew 
    us like 
    they 
    knew 
    the 
    river 
    bend 

    But 
    as 
    sure 
    as yappies 
    bite 
    your 
    toes, 

    this 
    boyhood 
    story 
    had 
    to 
    end 

    Now, 
    daddy 
    was 
    a railway 
    man 

    Whose 
    job 
    it 
    was 
    to 
    mend 
    the 
    line 

    He 
    didn't 
    mind 
    me 
    fishin' 

    As 
    long 
    as I 
    got 
    to school 
    by 
    nine 

    But 
    when 
    the fish 
    were 
    buyin' 
    goods 

    We 
    didn't 
    get to 
    school 
    till 
    noon 

    But 
    the 
    teacher 
    never 
    told 
    my 
    dad, 

    I 
    knew he 
    loved 
    my 
    sister 

    Jun
    e 

    Where 
    the 
    dark 
    chick 
    and 

    the 
    waterfowl, 

    Knew us 
    like 
    they 
    knew 
    the 
    river 
    men 

    But 
    as 
    sure 
    as eggs 
    go 
    rotten, 

    this 
    boyhood 
    story 
    had 
    to 
    end. 

    As 
    my friend 
    and 
    I 
    grew 
    bigger, 

    the little 
    town 
    got 
    smaller 
    every 
    day. 

    When 
    everyone 
    knows 
    everyone, 

    you 
    must 
    be care
    ful 
    what 
    you say. 

    Although 
    we 
    didn't 
    stay 
    much, 

    the word 
    got 
    out 
    about 
    our 
    fishin' 
    hole 

    So 
    I 
    swapped 
    my 
    line 
    and sinkers 
    for 
    three 

    pennies 
    and 
    a 
    peanut 
    butter 
    roll 

    Well 
    the 
    warbler 
    and 
    the dragonfly 
    knew 

    us like 
    they 
    knew 
    the 
    river 
    bend 

    But 
    as 
    sure 
    as tins 
    go rusty, 

    this 
    boyhood 
    story 
    had 
    to 
    end.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
