    I 
    am 


    a 

    pilgrim 
    and 
    a 
    stranger 

    Traveling 
    through 
    this 
    weari
    some 
    land 

    And 
    I've 
    got 
    a 
    home 
    in 
    that 
    yonder 
    city, 

    good 
    Lord 

    And 
    it's 
    not 
    (good Lordy 
    it's 

    not) not 
    made 
    by 
    hand 

    Verse 2
    I 
    got 
    a 
    mother, 
    a sister 
    and 
    a 
    brother 

    Who 
    have 
    gone 
    to 
    that 
    sweet 
    home 

    And 
    I 
    am 
    de
    termined 
    to 
    go 
    and 
    see 
    them, 

    good 
    Lord 

    Over 
    on 
    (good Lordy over 
    on) that 
    distant 

    Interlude 1
    shore 




    As 
    I 
    go 
    down 
    Verse 3
    to 
    that 
    river 
    Jordan 

    Just 
    to 
    bathe 
    my 
    weary 
    soul 

    If 
    I 
    could 
    touch 
    but 
    just 
    the 

    hem 
    of 
    His 
    garment, 
    good 
    Lord 

    I 
    be
    lieve 
    (good Lordy I 
    believe) that 
    it 

    would 
    make 
    me 
    whole 

    Now when I'm 
    dead, laying 
    in my coffin 

    All of my 
    friends 
    all gather 
    round 

    Verse 4
    They 

    can say that 
    he's just 
    laying 
    there sleeping, 

    good 
    Lord 

    Sweet peace (Lordy sweet peace) his soul is found

    • 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.”
