    Verse 1
    There's 
    house 
    on 
    hill 

    By 
    worn 
    down 
    weathered 
    old 
    mill 

    In 
    the 
    valley 
    be
    low 
    where 

    the 
    river 
    winds 

    There's 
    no such 
    thing 
    as 
    bad 
    times 

    And 
    a soft 
    southern 
    flame 

    Oh 
    Cotton 
    Jenny's 
    her 
    name 

    She 
    wakes 
    me 
    up 
    when 

    the sun 
    goes 
    down 

    And 
    the wheels 
    of 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    Wheels 
    of 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    Love 
    go 
    'round, 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    joyful 
    sound 

    ain't 
    got 
    penny 
    for 

    Cotton 
    Jenny 
    to 
    spend 

    But 
    then 
    the wheels 
    go 

    'round 

    Verse 2

    When 
    the 
    new 
    day 
    begins 

    go down 
    to 
    the 
    cotton 
    gin 

    And 
    make 
    my 
    time 
    worth 
    while 
    to 
    them 

    Then 
    climb 
    back 
    up 
    again 

    And 
    she 
    waits 
    by 
    the door 

    Oh 
    Cotton 
    Jenny 
    I'm 
    sore 

    And 
    she 
    rubs 
    my 
    feet 
    while 

    the sun 
    goes 
    down 

    And 
    the wheels 
    of 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    Verse 3
    Wheels 
    of 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    Love 
    go 
    'round, 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    A joyful 
    sound 

    ain't 
    got 
    penny 
    for Cotton 

    Jenny 
    to 
    spend 

    But 
    then 
    the 
    wheels 
    go 

    'round 

    Verse 4

    In 
    the 
    hot, 
    sickly 
    south 

    When 
    they say 
    we'll 
    shut 
    my 
    mouth 

    can 
    never 
    be 
    free 
    from 
    the 
    cotton 
    grind 

    But 
    know 
    got 
    what's 
    mine 

    With 
    soft 
    southern 
    flame 

    Oh 
    Cotton 
    Jenny's 
    her 
    name 

    She 
    wakes 
    me 
    up 
    when 

    the sun 
    goes 
    down 

    And 
    the wheels 
    of 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    Verse 5
    Wheels 
    of 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    Love 
    go 
    'round, 
    love 
    go 
    'round 

    A joyful 
    sound 

    ain't 
    got 
    penny 
    for Cotton 

    Jenny 
    to 
    spend 

    But 
    then 
    the 
    wheels 
    go 

    'round 

    Wheels 
    go 
    'round 

    'Round 
    and 
    'round, 
    hmm

    • 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.
