    Verse 1

    I'm 
    just 
    driftwood 
    on 
    the 

    river 
    floating 
    down 
    the tide 

    I don't 
    care 
    where 
    this 

    old 
    river 
    carries 
    me 

    I keep 
    drifting 
    just 
    be
    cause 

    my 
    heart 
    is 
    broken 
    inside 

    And 
    I'm tired 
    of 
    wishing 
    for 

    what 
    cannot 
    be 

    (I may 
    meet 
    some 
    little 

    driftwood 
    lost 
    as same 
    as 

    Share 
    a handshake 
    and 

    a tender 
    tear 
    or 
    two) 

    But 
    it's 
    always 
    good luck 
    how 

    we got 
    to 
    say 
    goodbye 

    I must 
    wander 
    on 
    to keep 

    my 
    rendezvous 

    Verse 2
    Though 
    I drift 
    through 
    town 

    and 
    city 
    I can 
    never 
    stay 

    For 
    I find 
    no 
    place 
    to call 
    my 

    home 
    sweet 
    home 

    I don't 
    ask 
    for 
    help 
    or 
    pitty 
    I just 
    go my 
    way 

    All 
    I'm 
    praying 
    for 
    is 
    peace 
    to 

    dream 
    alone 


    (I'm just 
    driftwood 
    on 
    the 

    river 
    and 
    I'm 
    drifting 
    on 

    Till 
    this 
    weary 
    river 
    meets 

    the deep 
    blue 
    sea) 

    Where 
    the deep 
    blue 
    sea may 
    help 

    me to 
    for
    get 
    someone 

    Yes 
    the care
    less 
    one 
    who 
    has 
    forgotten 
    me 

    In 
    my 
    heart 
    I don't 
    feel 
    bitter 

    over 
    what 
    has 
    been 

    I feel 
    sorry 
    for 
    the 
    one 
    I must 
    for
    get 

    And 
    instead 
    of 
    being 
    someone 

    with 
    the world 
    to 
    win 

    I'm 
    just 
    driftwood 
    on 
    the 
    river 
    of 
    regret

    • 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.
