    the 
    life 
    that

    one 
    more 
    time, 

    don't 
    want

    family 
    business 

    Don't 
    want 
    to 
    inherit 
    it 
    upon 

    the day 
    that 
    you

    beth, 

    you know 
    elisabeth

    She has 
    better 
    head 
    for 

    those 
    things 
    than 

    She 
    lives 
    practically 
    around 
    the corner 

    That's 
    really 
    the kind 
    of 
    child

    could 
    be 
    proud 
    of 

    But 
    papa, 
    I know 
    that 
    this 

    visit's 
    mistake 

    There's 
    nothing 
    here 
    we 
    have 
    in common, 

    except 
    our 
    name 

    And 
    families 
    that 
    live 
    out 
    in 
    the sub
    urbs 

    Often 
    make 
    each 
    other 
    cry 

    And 
    don't 
    think 
    that 
    I'll 

    come 
    home 
    much 
    any
    more 

    No- 
    no, 
    I don't 
    think 
    I'll 

    come 
    home 
    much 
    again

    • 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.
