    Now 
    the 
    world 
    holds 
    seven 
    wonders 

    that 
    the 
    travellers 
    always 
    tell 

    Some 
    gar
    dens 
    and 
    some 
    towers, 

    I 
    guess 
    you 
    know 
    them 
    well 

    But 
    now 
    the 
    greatest 
    won
    der 
    is 
    in 

    Un
    cle 

    Sam's 
    fair 
    land 

    It's 
    the 
    big 

    Columbia 

    River 
    and 
    the 
    big 

    Grand 

    Coulee 

    Dam 

    She 
    heads 
    up 
    the 

    Canadian 

    Rockies 
    where 
    the 
    rippling 
    waters 
    glide 

    Comes 
    a 
    -roarin' 
    down 
    the 
    canyon, 

    Oh, 
    to 
    meet 
    that 
    salty 
    tide 

    Of 
    the 
    big 

    Pacific 

    Ocean, 

    Where 
    the 
    sun 
    sinks 
    in 
    the 
    west, 

    In 
    the 
    big 
    grand 

    Coulee 
    country, 

    In 
    the 
    land 
    I 
    love 
    the 
    best. 

    In 
    the 
    misty 
    crystal 
    glitter 

    Of 
    the 
    wild 
    and 
    windward 
    spray, 

    Man
    na 
    fought 
    the 
    pounding 
    waters, 

    And 
    met 
    a 
    watery 
    grave. 

    Why, 
    tore 
    their 
    boats 
    to 
    splinters, 

    but 
    she 
    gave 
    men 
    dreams 
    to 
    dream 

    Of 
    the 
    day 
    the 

    Coulee 

    Dam 
    would 
    cross 
    that 
    wild 

    and 
    wasted 
    stream 

    Now 

    Uncle 

    Sam 
    took 
    up 
    the 
    challenge 
    in 

    the 
    year 
    of 
    thirty 
    -three 

    For 
    the 
    farmer 
    and 
    the 
    factory 

    and 
    all 
    of 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    He 
    said, 
    roll 
    along 

    Columbia, 
    you 
    can 
    roll 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    sea 

    But 

    River, 
    while 
    you're 
    rambling, 

    you 
    can 
    do 
    some 
    work 
    for 
    me 

    In 
    the 
    misty 
    crystal 
    glitter 
    of 
    the 

    wild 
    and 
    windward 
    spray 

    Men 
    have 
    fought 
    the 
    pounding 
    waters 

    and 
    met 
    a 
    watery 
    grave 

    Why, 
    she 
    tore 
    their 
    boats 
    to 
    splinters, 

    but 
    she 
    gave 
    men 
    dreams 
    to 
    dream 

    Of 
    the 
    day 
    the 

    Coulee 

    Dam 
    would 
    cross 
    that 
    wild 

    and 
    wasted 
    stream 

    Now 
    from 

    Washington 
    and 

    Oregon 
    you 
    can 
    hear 
    the 
    factories 
    hum 

    Making 
    chrome 
    and 
    making 

    manganese 
    and 
    white 
    aluminum 

    Now 

    Rose 
    the 

    Flying 

    Fortress 
    fought 
    a 
    fight 
    for 

    Uncle 

    Sam 

    Along 
    the 

    Holland 

    Quay, 

    Columbia, 
    by 
    the 
    big 
    grand 

    Coulee 

    Dam 

    In 
    the 
    misty 
    crystal 
    litter 
    of 
    the 

    wild 
    and 
    windward 
    spray 

    Manna 
    fought 
    the 
    pounding 
    waters 

    and 
    made 
    a 
    watery 
    grave 

    Why 
    she 
    tore 
    their 
    boats 
    to 
    splinters, 

    but 
    she 
    gave 
    men 
    dreams 
    to 
    dream 

    Of 
    the 
    day 
    the 

    Coulee 

    Dam 
    was 
    crushed 
    and 
    the 
    wild 

    and 
    wasted 
    stream 

    Now 
    the 
    world

    know 
    to 
    well 

    But

      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 🙂

      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.
