    Well I live in the canyon
    F#m

    Where the old coyotes howl
    G

    And they come down from the mountains
    A

    when the dogs begin to growl
    Bm

    And they meet up in the darkness
    G

    where they fight until the death

    When the morning sun is rising I

    Swing the hammer to the nail

    And I once cleared these

    woods

    He used to tell me all the stories of

    But the bridge,

    she washed away your sin
    G

    The church house- it got burned

    F#m

    My beard, it has grown long
    G

    And I search the face of six-strings
    A

    for for an old familiar song
    Bm

    But the chords, they all sound foreign
    G

    like the places that I've been
    D

    So I close my eyes to sleep

    Tomorrow I will try again

    • 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.”
