    Verse 1
    "Good Morning, 

    Mister 
    Sunshine!" 

    "Good morning, 
    Man!" 
    I'm 
    just a stranger, 

    travelin' 
    'cross y'r 
    land; 

    Do y' need 
    good 
    workhand 

    On your 
    big Grand 
    Coulee 
    dam? 

    Verse 2
    I'd 
    like 
    to settle 
    down 
    but I'm forced 

    to ramble 
    all o' my 
    time, 

    I'd like 
    to settle 
    down 
    with this 

    wife 
    and 
    kids 
    of 
    mine; 

    But a place 
    to 
    settle down 
    my family 

    Is a 
    pretty 
    hard 
    place 
    to 
    find! 

    Verse 3
    like 
    to work. I 
    work 
    every 
    time 
    can! 

    I got 
    callous 
    in the 
    palms 
    of 
    both 

    o' 
    my 
    hands! 

    This ramblin' 
    around from 
    town to town 

    Goes 
    hard 
    on a 
    fam
    ily 
    man! 

    Verse 4
    I said I 
    like 
    to 
    work, 

    I don't 
    like to beg 
    and 
    steal! 

    The harder 
    I'm a workin' 
    the 

    better 
    it 
    makes 
    me 
    feel! 

    But my 
    wife 
    and kid get 
    juberous 

    Everytime 
    they 
    mis
    s a meal! 

    Verse 5
    I'm a 
    hardrock man, 

    I was 
    born in a 
    hardrock place! 

    Back 
    in my home 
    place I was 

    a man 
    of 
    high degree! 

    Nobody 
    with 
    triphammer 

    Can 
    knock 
    as big a hole 
    as me. 

    Verse 6
    This Columbia 
    River 

    Rolls 
    right 
    down 
    this 
    line; 

    Columbia's 
    waters 
    taste 
    like 

    sparklin' 
    wine; 

    Dustbowl waters 
    taste 
    like 

    picklin' 
    brine. 

    Verse 7
    The money 
    that I 
    draw 
    from 

    workin' 
    at your 
    Coullee dam; 

    My 
    wife 
    will 
    meet me 
    at the 
    kitchen door stretchin' 

    out 
    her 
    hand; 

    She'll make 
    a little down 
    payment 

    On our 
    forty 
    acre 
    tract 
    of 
    land. 

    Verse 8
    We'll 
    work 
    along 
    this river, I'll 

    sing from 
    sun 
    to sun; 

    I'll 
    walk along 
    this grass 
    and listen 

    to the 
    fact
    ory 
    hum; 

    Look what 
    I've done gone 
    and 
    done. 

    Verse 9
    Take 
    some 
    sow from off 
    this mountain, 

    mix 
    it 
    with some 
    wind and 
    rain! 

    Take some 
    metal 
    from yer 
    mountain, 

    melt 
    it 
    up 
    again; 

    Stir it 
    up with powers 
    from 
    Coullee's dam, 

    An
    d you've 
    got 
    big 

    sabre jet 
    plane. 

    Verse 10
    Take some 
    water 
    from 
    this valley, 

    mix 
    it 
    up 
    with 
    snow; 

    Take my 
    ram
    blin' 
    family 

    rollin' 
    down 
    this 
    road; 

    Mix 
    it up with 
    sunshine 

    And, man, you 
    ought 
    to see 
    the green 

    things 
    grow!

    • 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.
