    Ah, for 
    just 
    one 
    time 
    would 

    take 
    the 
    Northwest 
    Passage 

    To

    the 
    hand 
    of 
    Franklin 
    reaching 

    for 
    the 
    Beaufort 
    Sea 

    Tracing 
    one 
    warm 
    line 
    through

    which 
    so 
    many

    Seeking 
    gold 
    and 
    glory, 

    leaving 
    weathered,

    bones 

    And 
    long- 
    forgotten 
    lonely 

    cairn 
    of stone

    Verse 3

    In 
    the footsteps

    where 
    his Sea 
    of Flowers 
    began 

    Watching 
    cities 
    rise 
    before 
    me, 

    then 
    behind 
    me 
    sink 
    again 

    This 
    tardiest 
    explorer, 

    driving 
    hard 
    across 
    the plain 

    Verse 5
    Ah, 
    for

    the night, 
    behind

    think 
    upon 
    Mackenzie, 

    David

    and 
    the 
    rest 

    Who 
    cracked 
    the 
    mountain 
    ramparts 

    and 
    did 
    show 
    a path 
    for 
    me

    the 
    roaring 
    Fraser 
    to

    • 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.
