    Verse 1
    Grandpa 
    came 
    over 
    on 
    the boat 

    His 
    voice 
    was 
    thick 
    with 
    the 

    old 
    world 
    and smoke 

    And 
    ran 
    in 
    Chica
    go, 

    'til he 
    met 
    my 
    grand
    ma

    So 
    mamma 
    and

    Lived 
    in 
    a duplex 
    next to 
    my 

    great 
    grandma 
    Baldoni 

    And 
    be
    lieved 
    in 
    the hopes 

    that can 
    grow 
    in a 
    country 

    Even 
    after 
    my 
    grandma 
    and 
    grandpa 

    went 
    their 
    separate 
    ways 

    Verse 3
    He said 
    "Love 
    who 
    you 
    are, 

    love 
    what 
    it's 
    meant 

    Live 
    out your 
    love 
    like 
    a new 

    immig
    rant" 

    Verse 4

    My 
    dad 
    drove 
    a mile 
    truck 

    be
    fore 
    he was 
    14 

    Came 
    back 
    from 
    Korea 
    in 
    1953 

    Met 
    up 
    with my 
    mother, 

    intro
    duced 
    by 
    his 
    sis
    ter 

    They 
    put 
    a 
    dime 
    in 
    the juke 
    box, 

    took a 
    turn 
    on 
    the dance 
    floor 

    Verse 5

    He said 
    "Love 
    who 
    you 
    are, 

    love 
    what 
    it's 
    meant 

    Live 
    out your 
    love 
    like

    immigrant" 

    So 
    Verse 6
    I 
    came 
    along 
    after 
    one 

    and 
    before

    Grew 
    up 
    on

    for 
    something 

    in 
    more 
    than one 
    coun
    try 

    Fell in 
    love 
    once 
    or twice, 
    broke 
    my 
    heart, 

    but 
    I'd 
    try 
    it 
    again 

    Verse 7

    So 
    this 
    is 
    the new 
    world, 

    not 
    the 
    old 
    world 

    Let me 
    lie 
    close 
    beside 
    you 
    and 

    whisper 
    have 
    you 
    heard 

    The sound 
    of 
    the singing 

    from some 
    bright 
    new 
    country 

    And 
    catch 
    it's 
    been 
    call
    ing 

    us 
    home 
    to 
    it lately 

    Verse 8

    So 
    "love 
    who 
    you 
    are, 

    love 
    what 
    it's 

    meant, 

    Live 
    out your 
    love 
    like 
    a new 
    immig
    rant"

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
