    Colum
    bus 
    fell 
    down 
    on 
    his knees 

    So 
    weak 
    from 
    sailing 
    on 
    the 
    seas 

    He 
    thought 
    he was in 
    the 
    East Indies 

    But 
    he was 
    lost 
    in 
    America 

    Lost 
    in 
    America 


    On 
    May 
    the 
    10th, 
    1869 

    They 
    com
    pleted 
    the 

    Transcontinent
    al 
    Line 

    A 
    shiny 
    wine 
    in 
    iron 
    spine 

    Hear 
    the 
    whistle 
    blow
    in' 

    At 
    that 
    million 
    dollar 
    bash, 

    the 
    bottles 
    popped 

    and 
    the 
    cham
    pagne 
    splashed 

    Un
    til 
    they 
    heard 
    about 
    the 
    crash, 

    the 
    sudden 
    disappear
    ance 

    Oo
    h, 
    there's 
    no 
    pie 
    in 
    the 
    sky, 

    it's 
    down 
    here 
    where 
    you'll 
    find 
    it 

    Cut 
    it 
    into 
    slices, 

    wrap 
    it 
    up 
    and 
    find 
    it 

    John 
    Henry 
    laid 
    his 
    hammer 
    down 

    And 
    headed 
    back 
    to 
    his 
    hometown 

    Someone 
    turned 
    the 

    signpost 
    round 

    Someone 
    took 
    the 
    road 
    signs 
    down 

    He 
    didn't 
    want 
    to 
    make 
    a 
    scene 

    He 
    died 
    in 
    the 
    wreck 
    of 
    the 
    C 
    -19 

    Scar
    let's 
    attacked 
    by 
    the 
    dream 

    Another 
    one 
    lost 
    in 
    Amer
    ica 

    There's 
    no 
    pie 
    in 
    the 
    sky, 

    it's 
    down 
    here 
    where 
    you'll 
    find 
    it 

    Cut 
    it 
    into 
    slices, 

    wrap 
    it 
    up 
    and 
    bind 
    it 

    And 
    hope 
    no 
    one 
    can 
    find 
    it 

    Lost, 
    lost, 
    lost, 
    lost 

    Lost

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
