    Verse 1
    I 
    went 
    back 
    to 
    Ohio 

    But 
    my 
    city 
    was 
    gone 

    There 
    was 
    no 
    train 
    station 

    There 
    was 
    no 
    downtown 

    South 
    Howard 
    had 
    disappeared 

    All 
    my 
    favorite 
    places 

    My 
    city 
    had 
    been 
    pulled 
    down 

    Re
    duced 
    to 
    parking 
    spaces 

    A, 
    o, 
    way 
    to 
    go 
    Ohio 


    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    Well 
    I 
    went 
    back 
    to 
    Ohio 

    But 
    my 
    family 
    was 
    gone 

    I 
    stood 
    on 
    the 
    back 
    porch 

    There 
    was 
    nobody 
    home 

    I 
    was 
    stunned 
    and 
    amazed 

    My 
    childhood 
    memories 

    Slowly 
    swirled 
    past 

    Like 
    the 
    wind 
    through 
    the 
    trees 

    A, 
    o, 
    way 
    to 
    go 
    Ohio 


    Solo 1




    Verse 3
    I 
    went 
    back 
    to 
    Ohio 

    But 
    my 
    pretty 
    countryside 

    Had 
    been 
    paved 
    down 
    the 
    middle 

    By 
    a 
    government 
    that 
    had 
    no 
    pride 

    The 
    farms 
    of 
    Ohio 

    Had 
    been 
    re
    placed 
    by 
    shopping 
    malls 

    And 
    Muzak 
    filled 
    the 
    air 

    From 
    Seneca 
    to 
    Cuyahoga 
    falls 

    Said, 
    A, 
    o, 
    way 
    to 
    go 
    Ohio

    • 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.”
