  • Intro 1



    There was 
    a time, 
    Verse 1

    a simpler 
    time 

    When 
    a man could 
    be sure 

    of where 
    he stood 

    I used to 
    work 
    at the yard, 

    working 
    honest 
    and 
    hard 

    The 
    hours 
    were long 
    but 

    the pay 
    was 
    oh so good 

    Verse 2
    I had 
    a family 
    and friends, 

    oh so many 
    friends 

    We'd 
    drive to 
    the lake 
    on holidays 

    Back 
    then it 
    wasn't 
    so dear 

    for 
    a sandwich 
    or beer 

    At 
    night I 
    still dream 
    can see 

    their 
    faces 

    Verse 3

    Certain 
    things 
    that 
    you depend 
    upon 

    There 
    are places 
    that 
    you 
    know 

    And the 
    faces 
    of 
    amer
    ica 

    Oh, 
    where do 
    they 
    go, 

    Interlude 1
    where did 
    they 
    go 


    Verse 4
    I was 
    born 
    on a farm, 

    a mid- western 
    farm 

    rode 
    on the tractor 
    with 
    my 
    dad 

    And though we 
    never 
    had much 
    it was 

    always 
    enough 

    Verse 5
    And we made 
    the best 
    with what 
    we 
    had 

    But 
    then came 
    four years 
    of drought 

    and the 
    bottom 
    dropped 
    out 

    My 
    father 
    was broken 
    like 
    the 
    rest 

    And I can 
    still see 
    his hands 

    signing 
    over 
    his lands 

    And the 
    bankers 
    grow fat 
    on 
    the flesh 

    of the dis
    possessed 

    Verse 6
    Certain 
    things 
    that 
    you depend 

    upon 

    There are 
    places 
    I can 
    go 

    sift 
    the 
    ashes 
    of 
    amer
    ica 

    For 
    some
    place 
    I used 
    to know 

    Someplace 
    used 
    to 
    know 

    Interlude 2
    Someplace 
    I used 
    to 
    know 




    Verse 7
    There was 
    a time, 
    simpler 
    time 

    When 
    a man could 
    be sure 

    of where 
    he stood 

    used to 
    work 
    at the yard, 

    working 
    honest 
    and hard 

    The hours 
    were long 
    but 
    the pay 

    was 
    oh so 
    good 

    Verse 8
    Certain 
    things 
    that 
    you depend 
    upon 

    I used to 
    think 
    were guar
    anteed 

    Like the 
    right 
    of 
    every 
    man 
    to work 

    and 
    feed 
    his family 

    And the 
    faces 
    of 
    amer
    ica 
    seem so 

    distant 
    and 
    es
    tranged 

    Have their 
    eyes 
    become 

    too 
    blind 
    to see 

    How much 
    their 
    hearts 
    have changed 

    How 
    much their 
    hearts 
    have changed 

    How 
    much 
    their 
    hearts 
    have changed

    • 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.
