    I'll never swim Kern River again

    It was there that I met her

    Verse 2


    I grew up in an oil town
    C
    G

    But my gusher never came in

    And the river was a boundary
    D

    Where my darlin' and I use to swim
    G

    One night in the moonlight
    C
    G

    The swiftness swept her live away

    And now I live on Lake Shasta and
    D
    G

    Lake Shasta is where I will stay

    There's the South San Joaquin
    C

    Where the seeds of the dust
    G

    bowl are found

    And there's a place called

    Mount Whitney

    From where the mighty Kern
    D

    River comes down
    G

    Well, it's not deep nor wide
    C

    But it's a mean piece
    G

    of water my friend

    And I may cross on the highway
    D
    G

    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.
