    Verse 1
    My 
    ancestors 
    were 
    kings 
    of 
    old 

    They 
    rule 
    the 
    world 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    its 
    gold 

    But 
    look 
    at 
    me 

    Oh 
    -oh 
    -oh 
    -oh 
    -oh 

    Just 
    look 
    at 
    me 

    Look 
    at 
    me 

    My 
    ancestors 
    would 
    fight 
    the 
    sun 

    Before 
    they 
    bowed 
    down 
    to 
    anyone 

    But 
    you ought 
    to look 
    at 
    me, 

    oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    Just look 
    at 
    me, 
    yeah, 
    oh, 
    yeah 

    Oh, 
    look 
    at 
    me, 

    I'm 
    a 
    stranger 
    in 
    this 
    land 

    Look 
    at 
    me, 
    stand 
    tall, 

    help 
    me, 
    help 
    me 
    be 

    just 
    a 
    man. 

    My 
    ancestors, 
    they 
    were 
    mighty 
    men. 

    And 
    my 
    son, 
    he 
    will 
    be 
    one 
    of 
    them. 

    Then 
    they'll 
    look 
    at 
    him. 

    They 
    will 
    look 
    at 
    him 
    and 
    they'll 
    say 
    he's 
    a 
    man, 

    he's 
    a 
    man, 
    my 
    son 
    will 
    be a 
    man 

    Oh, 
    oh, 
    my 
    ancestors 
    they 

    passed 
    it 
    on 
    to 
    me 

    Now 
    watch 
    me, 
    watch 
    me 
    work, 

    and 
    pass 
    it 
    on 
    to 
    him 

    I'll 
    pass 
    it 
    on 
    to 
    my 
    son, 

    my 
    son 
    will 
    be 
    a 
    man

      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.
