  • Verse 1
    Heroes 
    and 
    heroines 
    are 
    scarcer 

    than 
    they've 
    ever 
    been 

    So 
    much more 
    to 
    lose 
    than win 

    The 
    distance 
    never greater

    Way back 
    when you made 
    history 

    By 
    flying 
    planes 
    across 
    the 
    sea 

    Embarking 
    on 
    your 
    odyssey 

    You 
    put 
    away 
    the danger 

    Verse 2
    Heaven 
    bless 
    the one 
    who 
    flies 

    pioneer 
    on fron
    tier 
    skies 

    The 
    world 
    was dark 
    and 
    your only 
    mark 

    Was 
    the 
    light 
    of the 
    northern 
    star 

    I imagine 
    what 
    was 
    in 
    your 
    eye

    The seeds 
    of rust 
    and days 
    gone by 

    Your 
    wings 
    hang 
    in 
    gal
    lery 
    sky 

    wonder 
    how 
    you're 
    fly
    ing 

    Verse 3

    Way out 
    on the 
    western 
    plains 

    The snow 
    drifts 
    high 
    and 

    the dust 
    wind burns 

    The 
    Chinooks 
    blow 
    their 
    winds 

    across 
    the mountains 

    life 
    that's 
    never 
    safe 
    and dry 

    Rodeos 
    and riding 
    high 

    Ladies 
    and their 
    men 
    get by 

    On 
    six-guns 
    an
    and white 
    lightning 

    Verse 4
    Heaven 
    bless 
    them 
    on 
    the road 

    Those 
    drifters 
    and their 
    dreams 
    of gold 

    The 
    world 
    was wide 
    and 

    cowboy's 
    soul 

    Could 
    span the 
    whole 
    horizon 

    I imagine 
    what 
    was 
    in your 
    eyes 

    The 
    dust 
    and the dirt 
    under 
    outlaw 
    skies 

    piece 
    of land 
    and 

    stub
    born 
    mind 

    Were the 
    only 
    things 
    worth 
    having 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    Now they 
    say 
    the 
    moon 
    is 
    dust 
    and 
    ash 

    California's 
    made 
    of cash 

    We're waiting 
    for those 
    hill
    to crash 

    Into the 
    sparkling 
    water

    Rain 
    and snow 
    and 
    sun 
    and wind 

    You 
    roamed 
    the 
    earth 

    and you 
    spread 
    your 
    wings 

    And long 
    ago, 
    my 
    heroes' dreams 

    Be
    longed 
    to 
    all God's 
    creatures 

    Verse 6
    Heaven 
    bless 
    the ones 
    who sleep 

    The 
    ones 
    who laugh 
    and 
    the 
    ones 
    who weep 

    Heaven 
    bless 
    the ones 
    who keep 

    Their 
    bearings 
    strong 
    and certain 

    And Lord 
    help 
    the fool 
    who 
    said 

    You'd 
    better 
    quit while 

    you're 
    ahead 

    A dreamer 
    born 
    is a 
    hero 
    bred 

    On 
    earth 
    and 
    up 
    in 
    heaven 

    Lord 
    help 
    the fool 
    who said 

    You'd 
    better 
    quit while 
    you're 
    ahead 

    dreamer 
    born 
    is 
    hero 
    bred 

    On 
    earth 
    and 
    up 
    in 
    heaven

    • 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.
