    grow 
    out 
    of it 
    in 
    time?

    I broke 
    broncos 
    with 
    the cow
    boys 

    I 
    sang

    I did the 
    snake 
    dance 
    with 
    the Hop
    i

    provision
    s 

    To 
    get

    Verse 7
    Well 
    I hate 
    your 
    crowded 
    cit
    ies 

    With the sad 
    and 
    hopeless 
    mobs

    try 
    to trap 
    God

    by a 
    drifter 

    Or 
    I froze

    death 
    in 
    the snow 

    Maybe 
    mauled 
    by 
    a wild
    cat 

    Or I'm 
    livin? 
    down

    But my 
    end, 

    it doesn't 
    really 
    matter

    All that

    how 
    you live 

    your 
    life

    give 
    your dreams 

    away 
    as 
    you 
    get older

    but 
    I never 
    gave 
    up 

    mine

    find 
    my 
    body, 

    boys 

    Or un

    • 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.”
