    Verse 1
    I 
    guess 
    he'd 
    rather 
    be 
    in 
    Colo
    rado 

    He'd 
    rather 
    spend 
    his 
    time 
    out 

    where 
    the 
    sky 
    looks 
    like 
    a 
    pearl 
    after 
    a 
    rain 

    Once 
    a
    gain 
    I 
    see 
    him 
    walkin 

    Once 
    a
    gain 
    I 
    hear 
    him 
    talking 

    to 
    the 
    stars 
    he 
    makes 

    And 
    asking 
    them 
    for 
    bus 
    fare 

    Verse 2
    I 
    guess 
    he'd 
    rather 
    be 
    in 
    Colo
    rado 

    He'd 
    rather 
    play 
    his 
    banjo 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    when 
    the 
    moon 
    is 
    scarcely 
    gone 

    In 
    the 
    dawn 
    the 
    subways 
    comin 

    In 
    the 
    dawn 
    I 
    hear 
    him 
    hummin' 

    Some 
    old 
    song 
    he 
    wrote 

    of 
    love 
    in 
    Boulder 
    Canyon 

    Solo 1
    I 
    guess 
    he'd 
    rather 
    be 
    in 
    Colo
    rado 



    Verse 3
    I 
    guess 
    he'd 
    rather 
    be 
    in 
    Colo
    rado 

    I 
    guess 
    he'd 
    rather 
    work 

    out 
    where 
    the 
    only 
    thing 
    you 
    earn 

    is 
    what 
    you 
    spend 

    In 
    the 
    end 
    up 
    in 
    his 
    office 

    In 
    the 
    end 
    a 
    quiet 
    cough 

    is 
    all 
    he 
    has 
    to 
    show 

    He 
    lives 
    in 
    New 
    York 
    City

    • 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.”
