    • Verse 1
    I'll never 
    swim 
    Kern 
    River 
    again 

    It was 
    there 
    that I met 
    her 

    It was 
    there 
    that I 
    lost 
    my 
    best 
    friend 

    And now I 
    live in 
    the mountains 

    I 
    drifted 
    up 
    here 
    with 
    the 
    wind 

    And I may 
    drown 
    in still 
    water 

    But I'll 
    never 
    swim 
    Kern 
    River 
    again 

    Verse 2

    I grew 
    up 
    in 
    an oil 
    town 

    But my 
    gusher 
    never 
    came 
    in 

    And 
    the river 
    was 
    a boundary 

    Where my 
    darlin' 
    and 
    I 
    use 
    to swim 

    One night 
    in 
    the 
    moonlight 

    The swift
    ness 
    swept 
    her 
    live 
    away 

    And now I 
    live on 
    Lake 
    Shasta 
    and 

    Lake 
    Shasta 
    is 
    where 
    I 
    will 
    stay 

    There's 
    the 
    South 
    San 
    Joaquin 

    Where 
    the 
    seeds 
    of the 
    dust 

    bowl 
    are found 

    And there's a 
    place 
    called 

    Mount 
    Whitney 

    From 
    where the 
    mighty 
    Kern 

    River 
    comes 
    down 

    Well, it's 
    not 
    deep 
    nor wide 

    But 
    it's a mean 
    piece 

    of water 
    my 
    friend 

    And I may 
    cross 
    on 
    the highway 

    But I'll 
    nev
    er 
    swim 
    Kern 
    River 
    again 

    I'll 
    never swim 
    Kern 
    River 
    again 

    Verse 3
    It was 
    there 
    I 
    first 
    met her 

    It was 
    there 
    that 
    I lost 
    my 
    best 
    friend 

    And now 
    I 
    live 
    in 
    the mountains 

    I 
    drifted 
    up 
    here 
    with 
    the 
    wind 

    And I may 
    drown 
    in still 
    water 

    But I'll 
    never 
    swim 
    Kern 
    River 

    Interlude 1
    again 



    Verse 4
    I'll 
    never 
    swim 
    Kern 
    River 
    again 

    It was 
    there 
    I 
    first 
    met 
    her 

    It was 
    there 
    that 
    I lost 
    my 
    best 
    friend 

    And now 
    I 
    live 
    in 
    the mountains 

    I 
    drifted 
    up 
    here 
    with 
    the 
    wind 

    And I may 
    cross 
    on 
    the highway 

    But I'll 
    never 
    swim 
    Kern 
    River 
    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.”
