    was 
    born 
    a poor 
    man's 
    son, 
    and 
    followin' 
    tradition 

    When 
    I came 
    of 
    age 
    hit 
    the road, 

    and 
    fol
    lowed 
    blind 
    ambi
    tion 

    I served 
    my 
    time 
    and payed 
    my 
    dues, 

    now 
    I'm sittin' 
    pretty 

    Sleeping 
    in 
    a feather 
    bed 

    high 
    above 
    this city. 

    It's 
    four 
    in 
    the 
    morning, 

    and 
    I'm sittin' 
    here 
    still 
    thinking 

    Our love's 
    on the 
    borderline, 

    I know 
    this ship 
    is 
    sinking 

    I still 
    remember 
    when 
    we 
    talked 
    about 
    the Southern 

    Cross 
    a long 
    time 
    ago 

    Look 
    through my 
    window 
    and 
    I watch 

    the cold 
    rain 
    fallin' 

    Somewhere 
    in the 
    distance 

    I can 
    hear 
    a siren 
    callin' 

    Is 
    this 
    a wilderness 
    or 
    just 
    another 
    sta
    tion 
    on 
    the 

    Rock 
    Island 
    Line? 



    When 
    I first 
    came 
    to this 
    town 

    with sweet 
    anticipation 

    My 
    days 
    were filled 
    with 
    music, 

    and 
    my 
    nights 
    with conversation 

    didn't 
    worry, 

    didn't 
    care 
    which 
    way 
    the wind 
    was blowin' 

    Yes 
    there 
    was 
    magic 
    in the 
    air, 

    and 
    music 
    kept 
    on 
    flow
    in'. 

    was 
    a superman 
    ridin' 
    on 
    river 

    She 
    always 
    wanted 
    so 
    much 

    more 
    than 
    could 
    give her 

    I still 
    remember 
    everytime 
    we said 
    goodbye 

    when 
    was 
    back 
    on 
    the road 

    was 
    a rhythm 
    man, 

    now 
    I'm a 
    local 
    hero 

    I still 
    remember 
    when 
    my 

    luck 
    was down 
    to zero 

    Right 
    now 
    I sit 
    and wonder 
    why 
    nobody 
    ever 
    comes 
    to 
    knock 
    on 
    my door. 






    Now 
    life 
    is 
    bitter, 
    life 
    is sweet, 

    life 
    is 
    what 
    you make 
    it 

    Your 
    love 
    makes 
    my 
    life com
    plete, 

    and 
    I just 
    can't 
    for
    sake 
    it 

    The 
    time 
    has 
    come 
    to travel 
    on, 

    yes 
    now 
    the days 
    I'm 
    countin' 

    We're 
    goin' 
    back 
    to 
    where we 
    come 
    from, 

    gonna 
    live on 
    some old 
    mountain. 

    It's 
    four 
    in the 
    morning, 

    and I'm 
    sittin' 
    here 
    still 
    thinking 

    Our 
    love's 
    on the 
    borderline, 

    I know 
    the ship 
    is 
    sinking 

    I still 
    remember 
    when 
    we 
    talked 
    about 

    the South
    ern 
    Cross 
    a long 
    time

    was 
    a rhythm

    now 
    I'm a 
    local 
    hero 

    still 
    remember 
    when 
    my 

    luck 
    was down 
    to zero

    • 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.
