    • Verse 1
    I 
    was 
    there 
    that 

    night 
    in Bethlehem 

    And when 
    Neil 
    and the 
    boys 
    came 
    to 

    the moon 
    in that 
    tin 
    can

    At 
    Gettysburg, 
    Omaha 
    Beach, 
    in 
    Vietnam 

    I 
    heard 
    every 
    soldier's 
    cry 

    and 
    every 
    mama's 
    prayer 

    I 
    was there 

    Verse 2
    I 
    was there 
    when you 
    took 

    your first 
    breath 

    And when you 
    let 
    that 
    stolen 

    luck
    y 
    strike 

    And locked 
    a 
    choke 
    to death 

    When 
    you were 
    waist 
    deep 

    in 
    Carter's 
    Creek 

    And 
    Preacher 
    John 
    dunked you 

    down 
    in the 
    water 

    And 
    raised 
    you 
    up for 
    air 

    I was 
    there 

    Verse 3
    I'm 
    always 
    around, 

    I was 
    then 
    and 
    I am 
    now 

    And 
    I'll 
    be here 
    when 
    to

    mor
    row 
    comes 

    When a 
    road 
    comes 
    to 
    an end 

    I'm 
    where 
    you start 
    again 

    I'm 
    never 
    farther 
    than 
    a word 
    away 

    You've 
    always 
    got 
    a friend 

    When your 
    Verse 4
    grandma 
    passed, 

    I was 
    in 
    that 
    house 

    And 
    when your 
    grandpa 
    ran 

    down 
    the 
    streets 
    of gold 

    To show 
    her around 

    Interlude 1
    I was 
    there 



    Verse 5
    I'm 
    always 
    around, 

    I was 
    then 
    and 
    I am 
    now 

    And 
    I'll 
    be 
    here 
    when 

    tomor
    row 
    comes 

    When 
    a 
    road 
    comes 
    to 
    an end 

    I'm 
    where 
    you start 
    again 

    I'm 
    never 
    farther 
    than 
    a 
    word 
    away 

    You've 
    always 
    got 
    a friend 

    Verse 6
    I was 
    there 
    last 
    night 
    on 
    Highway 
    Nine 

    When you 
    answered 
    the 
    phone 
    and 

    ran 
    right 
    through 
    that 
    stop 
    sign 

    I was 
    in the 
    cab 
    of that 
    bigger 
    rig 

    and that 
    trucker's ear 

    Made 
    him 
    swerve 
    to 
    the right 

    and 
    miss 
    you by 
    a 
    hair 

    I was 
    there 

    Verse 7
    If you're 
    feeling 
    alone, 
    look 
    up 

    I'm the 
    one 
    who 
    answers 

    pray
    ers 

    And 
    I'm 
    al
    ways 
    there

    • 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.”
