  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    From the 
    railhead 
    to the 
    boatyard 

    From the 
    factory 
    to the 
    farm 

    From the 
    mine 
    to the 
    mill 
    yard 

    I've 
    weathered 
    the storm 

    Verse 2

    From the 
    bar 
    room 
    to the 
    bedpost 

    I've 
    wasted 
    my days, 

    all 
    I have 
    is my 
    drink 

    And the 
    time 
    left 
    to think 

    While 
    time 
    slips 
    away 

    Verse 3
    Just 
    look 
    at my 
    face 

    When you 
    tell 
    me good
    bye 

    You'll 
    see 
    what I'm 
    after 

    By 
    the look 
    in 
    my 
    eye 

    Verse 4
    Just 
    walk 
    away 
    and 
    leave 
    me 
    alone 

    It's 
    a long 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    Verse 5
    Now in 
    case 
    you 
    should ask 
    me 

    What 
    it is 
    that I've 
    done 

    I'd say 
    I'm 
    soldier 

    Who once 
    had 
    a son 

    Verse 6

    But my 
    son 
    doesn't 
    know 
    me 

    That's 
    his 
    right 
    to choose 

    Oh say, 
    can 
    you see? 

    My best 
    friend 
    is 
    me 

    I'm a 
    friend 
    could 
    use 

    Verse 7
    Just 
    look 
    at my 
    face 

    When you 
    tell 
    me good
    bye 

    You'll see 
    what I'm 
    after 

    By 
    the look 
    in 
    my 
    eye 

    Verse 8
    Just 
    walk 
    away 
    and 
    leave 
    me 
    alone 

    It's 
    a long 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    Verse 9
    Now the 
    pages 
    have faded 

    The story 
    grows 
    cold 

    And 
    the plot 
    falls 
    to 
    ashes 

    Like 
    the ruins 
    of 
    old 

    Verse 10
    Those 
    rats 
    in 
    my 
    rafters 

    They're 
    after 
    my 
    shoes 

    And anything 
    else 
    they can 

    find 
    on 
    the shelf 

    I've said 
    they 
    could 
    use 

    Verse 11
    And 
    just 
    look 
    at my 
    face 

    When you 
    tell 
    me good
    bye 

    You'll 
    see 
    what I'm 
    after 

    By 
    the look 
    in 
    my 
    eye 

    Verse 12
    Just 
    walk 
    away 
    and 
    leave 
    me 
    alone 

    It's 
    a long 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    It's 
    a long 
    way 
    back 
    home

    • 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.
