    I'm 
    positive 
    Roy

    I know

    when 
    we

    to contend 

    I 
    know 
    you'll 
    try 
    to open 
    your 
    head 

    And 
    then 
    they'll start 
    looking 

    around 
    your 
    mind 

    And 
    you 
    won't 
    be 
    feeling 
    so 

    numb 
    (young) this 
    time 

    Verse 3
    And 
    one 
    grey 
    wintertime 

    The ropes 
    fall 
    around 
    you 

    A mountain 
    of detail 
    that 
    I

    talked 
    about 

    Minor

    nothing 
    no 
    way

    grey 
    winter

    It 
    keeps 
    you from 
    walking

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
