    Verse 1
    If I can 
    help somebody 

    as 
    they pass 
    along 

    If I can 
    cheer 
    somebody 

    with a 
    word 
    or a 
    song 

    If I can 
    show 
    somebody 
    that 

    they're traveling 
    wrong 

    Then my 
    living 
    will not 
    be 
    in vain 

    Verse 2
    If I can 
    do 
    my duty 

    as a Christian 
    ought 

    If I should 
    sing 
    salvation 

    to the world 
    he 
    wrought 

    If I can 
    spread 
    the message 

    as the 
    Mas
    ter 
    taught 

    Then my 
    living 
    will 
    not be 
    in vain 


    Verse 3

    Well, it really 
    doesn't 
    matter 
    most of 

    the deeds 
    I've done 

    It really 
    doesn't 
    matter 

    the prizes 
    I may 
    have won 

    I'd 
    like for somebody 
    to say 

    I tried to 
    love 
    someone 

    When 
    I 
    have to meet 
    my 
    day 

    Verse 4
    In the 
    crawl 
    for justice, 

    I helped 
    somebody 
    run 

    In 
    the 
    walk 
    for 
    the hungry, 

    I fed 
    someone 

    And in 
    the 
    march 
    for peace, 

    tell them 
    I 
    played 
    the drum 

    When 
    I have 
    to meet 
    my 
    day 

    Verse 5
    In 
    the crawl 
    for justice, 

    I helped 
    somebody 
    run 

    In 
    the walk 
    for the hungry, 

    I fed 
    someone 

    And in 
    the 
    march 
    for peace, 

    tell them 
    I 
    played 
    the drum 

    When 
    I 
    have to 
    meet 
    my day

      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

      "

      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.
