    I 
    wan
    na 
    go 
    home... 

    I 
    wanna 
    go 
    home... 

    Oh, 
    how 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    go 
    home... 

    Last 
    night, 
    I 
    went 
    to 
    sleep 
    in 

    Detroit 

    City 

    And 
    dreamed 
    about 
    the 
    life 
    I 
    left 
    at 
    home 

    I 
    dreamed 
    about 
    my 
    mother, 

    dear 
    old 
    papa, 
    sister 
    and 
    brother 

    I 
    dreamed 
    about 
    that 
    girl 
    who's 

    been 
    waiting 
    for 
    so 
    long 

    I 
    wanna 
    go 
    home, 
    I 
    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    Oh, 
    how 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    go 
    home 

    Home 
    folks 
    think 
    I'm 
    big 
    in 

    Detroit 

    City 

    From 
    the 
    let
    ters 
    that 
    I 
    write, 

    they 
    think 
    I'm 
    fine 

    But 
    by 
    day 
    I 
    make 
    the 
    calls, 

    by 
    night 
    I 
    make 
    the 
    bars 

    If 
    they 
    could 
    only 
    read 
    between 
    the 
    lines 

    As 
    you know, 

    I 
    took 
    a freight 
    train 
    north 
    to 

    Detroit 

    City 

    An
    d 
    after 
    all 
    these 
    years, 

    I 
    find 
    that I'm 
    just 
    wasting 
    my 
    time 

    So 
    I 
    think 
    I'll take 
    my 
    foolish 
    pride 

    And 
    put 
    it on 
    a freight 
    train 

    south 
    and 
    right 

    And 
    go 
    on 
    back 
    to 
    the loved 

    ones 
    I 
    left 
    so 
    far 
    behind 

    I 
    wanna 
    go 
    home, 
    I 
    wanna 
    go 
    home 

    Oh, 
    how 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    go 
    home 

    Oh, 
    how 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    go 
    home 

    Oh, 
    how 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    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

      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.
