    Verse 1
    There 
    are 
    people 
    who 

    would 
    rather 
    live 
    in 
    splendor 

    And 
    brag 
    about 
    their 
    silver 
    and 
    their 
    gold 

    And 
    people 
    who 
    would trade

    people 
    who

    try 
    to 
    point 
    souls

    abode

    And 
    live 
    in 
    mansions 
    in 
    bright 
    ar
    ray 

    I'd 
    rather 
    do 
    neighborly 
    deed 

    For 
    some 
    traveler 
    or 
    a friend 
    in

    would 
    rather 
    have 
    a cabin

    the 
    pilgrimage 
    of 
    man 
    is 
    passing 
    by 

    To 
    help 
    to

    soul 
    to 
    Je
    sus 

    To 
    that 
    city 
    on 
    high 

    Every
    day 
    want 
    to help 
    to 
    scatter 
    roses 

    Every 
    night 
    want 
    my 
    lamp 

    to shine 
    abroad 

    With 
    a welcome 
    from 
    my 
    little 
    bay 
    window 

    By 
    the 
    side 
    of 
    the 
    road

    • 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.
