  • Verse 1
    C

    I wish things were simple
    F
    C

    like they used to be

    When cowboys rode horses,
    D
    G

    and were heroes to me
    C

    My Mother was a lady,
    F
    C

    and my Dad was a man

    And I wish things were
    G
    C

    simple again
    Verse 2
    C

    I wish things were simple,
    F
    C

    like when I was a kid

    A man just got paid for
    D
    G

    the work that he did
    C

    And a song could be played
    G
    F
    C

    for a nickel back then
    G
    C

    And I wish things were simple again
    Verse 3
    Am
    E

    But even the blue skies roar with thunder
    Am

    Men fly above like birds

    Nothin' is simple,
    D

    not even a love song
    G

    The story gets lost in the words
    Verse 4
    C

    But there's no way to rewind,
    F
    C

    it's gone with the wind
    G
    C

    And I wish things were simple again
    Verse 5
    C

    Even the blue skies roar with

    thunder

    Men fly above like birds
    F
    C


    Nothin' is simple,

    not even a love song
    D
    G

    The story gets lost in the words
    Verse 6
    C

    There's no way to rewind,
    F
    C

    it's gone with the wind

    And I wish things were simple again
    G
    C

    Oh, I wish things were simple again

    • 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.
