    Verse 1
    The 
    Mississippi 
    Delta 

    Was 
    shining 
    like 
    national 
    guitar 

    am 
    following 
    the 
    river 
    down 
    the 
    highway 

    Through 
    the 
    cradle 
    of 
    the 
    Civil 
    War 

    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    Grace
    Chorus 1
    land, 
    Graceland 

    Memphis, 
    Tennes
    see 

    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    Grace
    land 


    Poor 
    boys 
    and 
    pilgrims 
    with 
    families 

    And 
    we 
    are 
    going 
    to 
    Grace
    land 


    My 
    traveling 
    companion 
    is 
    nine 
    years 
    old 

    He 
    is 
    the 
    child 
    of 
    my 
    first 
    marriage 


    But 
    I've 
    rea
    son 
    to 
    believe 

    We 
    both 
    will 
    be 
    re
    ceived 
    In 
    Grace
    land 



    Verse 2
    She 
    comes 
    back 
    to 
    tell 
    me 
    she's 
    gone 

    As 
    if 
    didn't 
    know 
    that 

    As 
    if 
    didn't 
    know 
    my 
    own 
    bed 

    As 
    if 
    I'd 
    never 
    noticed 

    The 
    way 
    she 
    brushed 
    her 
    hair 

    from 
    her 
    forehead 

    And 
    she 
    said, 
    "losing 
    love 

    Is 
    like 
    window 
    in 
    your 
    heart 

    Everybody 
    sees 
    you're 
    blown 
    apart 

    Everybody 
    sees 
    the 
    wind 
    blow" 

    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    Grace
    Chorus 2
    land 

    Memphis, 
    Tennes
    see 

    I'm 
    going 
    to

    land 


    Poor 
    boys 
    and 
    pilgrims 
    with 
    families 

    And 
    we 
    are 
    going 
    to 
    Grace
    land 


    And 
    my 
    traveling 
    companions 

    Are 
    ghosts 
    and 
    empty 
    sock
    ets 

    I'm 
    looking 
    at 
    ghosts 
    and 
    empties 


    But 
    I've 
    rea
    son 
    to 
    believe 

    We 
    all 
    will

    in 
    New 
    York 
    City 

    Who 
    calls 
    herself 
    the 
    human 
    trampoline 

    And 
    sometimes 
    when 
    I'm 
    falling, 
    flying 

    Or 
    tumbling 
    in 
    turmoil 

    say 
    "Whoa, 
    so 
    this 
    is 
    what 
    she 
    means" 

    She

    And 
    see

    in 
    your 
    heart 

    Well, 
    everybody 
    sees 
    you're 
    blown 
    apart 

    Everybody 
    feels 
    the 
    wind 
    blow"

    • 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.
