    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    Oh 
    Lord, 
    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    Verse 1
    Last 
    night 
    went 
    to 
    sleep 
    in 
    Detroit 
    City 

    And 
    dreamed 
    about 

    those 
    cotton 
    fields 
    and 
    home 

    dreamed 
    about 
    my 
    mother 

    dear 
    old 
    papa, 
    sister 
    and 
    brother 

    dreamed 
    about 
    that 
    girl 

    who's 
    been 
    waiting 
    for 
    so 
    long 

    Chorus 2
    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    Oh 
    Lord, 
    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    Verse 2
    Home 
    folks 
    think 
    I'm 
    big 
    in 
    Detroit 
    City 

    From 
    the 
    letters 
    that 
    write 

    they 
    think 
    I'm 
    fine 

    But 
    by 
    day 
    make 
    the 
    cars 

    by 
    night 
    make 
    the 
    bars 

    If 
    only 
    they 
    could 
    read 
    between 
    the 
    lines 

    Verse 3
    'Cause 
    you 
    know 

    rode 
    freight train 
    north 
    to 
    Detroit 
    City 

    And 
    after 
    all 
    these 
    years 
    find 

    I've 
    just 
    been 
    wasting 
    my 
    time 

    So 
    just 
    think 
    I'll 
    take 
    ol' 
    Charley 
    Pride 

    put 
    him 
    on 
    Southbound 
    freight 
    and 
    ride 

    And 
    go 
    on 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    loved 
    ones 

    The 
    ones 
    that 
    left 
    waiting 
    so 
    far 
    behind 

    Chorus 3
    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    Oh 
    Lord, 
    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    wanna 
    go 
    home, 
    wanna 
    go 
    home

    • 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.
