Bm
A
D

Listen,

all you New Yorkers,

there's a rumor going round

That some of you good people

want to leave this town

But you'd better consult with me

before you go

Yeah? Cause I've been to

all those places
Bm

and I know Chicago?
D

Well, Chicago's all right

It's got Marshall Field and Soldiers Field
Bm

And it's on a nice lake
D

But it hasn't got the Hansons in the park
G

It hasn't got the skyline after dark
D

That's why New York's my home

Let me never leave it
Bm
G

New York's my home, sweet home
A

San Francisco?
D

San Francisco is a lovely place

It's got lots of hills and lots of thrills
Bm

And it's near an ocean of some size
D

But it hasn't got the Bowery or the Bronx
G

It hasn't got the Harlem,

honky -tonks
D

That's why New York's my home

It's my favorite city,
Bm
G

New York's my home, sweet home

St. Louis?
D

Lots of people like St. Louis

It's got lots of shoes

and the St. Louis blues
Bm

And one of our larger rivers runs by
D

But it hasn't got the opera in the Met
G

It hasn't got a famous string quartet
D

That's why New York's my home

Not a place to visit,
Bm

New York's my home,
G

sweet home
Bm

Hollywood?
D

Hollywood's got movie stars

and movie czars

And cocktail bars and shiny cars
Bm

And a wonderful climate, they say
D

But it hasn't got the handy subway trains
Dm
G

You sel dom find a taxi when it rains
D

That's why New York's my home

Ain't your California,
Bm
D

New York's my home, sweet home
G

So save your time and trouble
Dm

Save your railroad fare

  • 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.
