    Verse 1
    Pickin' 
    up 
    the 
    pie
    ces 

    of 
    my 
    sweet 
    shattered 
    dream 

    I 
    wonder 

    how 
    the 
    old 
    folks 
    are 
    to
    night 

    Her 
    name 
    was 
    Ann 
    and 
    I'll 
    be 
    damned 

    if 
    I 
    recall 
    her 
    face 

    She 
    left 
    me 
    not 
    knowin' 
    what 
    to 
    do 

    Chorus 1
    Carefree 
    highway, 

    let 
    me 
    slip 
    away 
    on 
    you 

    Carefree 
    highway, 
    you 
    seen 
    better 
    days 

    The 
    mornin' 
    after 
    blues 

    from 
    my 
    head 
    down 
    to 
    my 
    shoes 

    Carefree 
    highway, 

    let 
    me 
    slip 
    away 

    Solo 1
    Slip 
    away 
    on 

    (you) 


    Verse 2
    Turnin' 
    back 
    the 
    pa
    ges 

    to 
    the 
    times 
    I 
    love 
    best 

    I 
    wonder 
    if 
    she'll 
    ever 
    do 
    the 
    same 

    Now 
    the 
    thing 
    that 
    I 
    call 
    livin' 

    is 
    just 
    bein' 
    sa
    tis
    fied 

    With 
    knowin' 
    I 
    got 
    no 
    one 
    left 
    to 
    blame 

    Chorus 2
    Carefree 
    highway, 

    I 
    got 
    to 
    see 
    you 
    my 
    old 
    flame 

    Carefree 
    highway, 
    you 
    seen 
    better 
    days 

    The 
    mornin' 
    after 
    blues 

    from 
    my 
    head 
    down 
    to 
    my 
    shoes 

    Carefree 
    highway, 

    let 
    me 
    slip 
    away 

    Solo 2
    Slip 
    away 
    on 

    (you) 


    Verse 3
    Searchin' 
    through 
    the 
    frag
    ments 

    of 
    my 
    dream-
    shattered 
    sleep 

    I 
    wonder 

    if 
    the 
    years 
    have 
    closed 
    her 
    mind 

    I 
    guess 
    it 
    must 
    be 
    wan
    derlust 

    or 
    tryin' 
    to 
    get 
    free 

    From 
    the 
    good 
    old 
    faithful 
    feelin' 

    Chorus 3
    we 
    once 
    knew 

    Carefree 
    highway, 

    let 
    me 
    slip 
    away 
    on 
    you 

    Carefree 
    highway, 
    you 
    seen 
    better 
    days 

    The 
    mornin' 
    after 
    blues 

    from 
    my 
    head 
    down 
    to 
    my 
    shoes 

    Carefree 
    highway, 

    let 
    me 
    slip 
    away 

    Slip 
    away 
    on 
    you 

    Let 
    me 
    slip 
    away 
    on 

    Chorus 4
    (you) 
    Carefree 
    highway, 

    I 
    got 
    to 
    see 
    you 
    my 
    old 
    flame 

    Carefree 
    highway,

      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.
