    dreamt 

    was 
    soldier 

    And

    the 
    streets 

    of 
    Birkenau 

    And 
    re
    call 
    in 
    spring 

    The 
    perfume 
    that 
    the 
    air 
    would 
    bring 

    To 
    the 
    indolent 
    town

    val 
    was 
    ringing 

    loudly 
    now 

    And 
    just 
    to 
    lay 
    with 
    you 

    There's 
    nothing

    al
    ways 
    comes 
    down 
    to 

    Alright,

    to 
    turn 
    this

    dreamt 

    was 
    an 
    ar
    chitect 

    And 
    built 
    this 
    balustrade 

    To 
    keep 
    you 
    home, 
    to 
    keep

    the 
    cor
    ners 

    Even 
    though 

    my 
    work 
    is 
    unparalleled 

    They 
    never 
    seemed 
    to 
    meet 

    This 
    structure 
    fell 
    about 
    our 
    feet 

    And 
    we 
    were 
    free 
    to 
    go 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    try 
    one, 
    and 
    try 
    two 

    Guess 
    it 
    al
    ways 
    comes 
    down

    am 
    Spaniard 

    will 
    be 
    buried

    Oh,

    like 
    the

    are 
    vagabonds 

    We 
    travel 
    without 
    seat 
    belts 
    on 

    To 
    live 
    this 
    close 
    to 
    death

    • 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.
