    Verse 1
    Old 
    man 
    river, 
    that 
    old 
    man 
    river, 

    He 
    don't 
    say 
    nothin', 

    but 
    he must 
    know 
    somethin' 

    That 
    old 
    man 
    river, 

    he 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling 
    along. 

    Verse 2

    He 
    don't 
    plant 
    tater's, 

    And 
    we 
    all 
    know 
    he 
    don't 
    pick 
    cotton. 

    But 
    them 
    that 
    plant 
    'em, 

    are 
    soon 
    forgotten, 
    that 

    Old 
    man 
    river, 
    he 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling 
    along, 

    oh 
    yes 
    he does. 

    Verse 3
    You 
    and 
    me, 

    we 
    sweat 
    and 
    toil, 

    Our 
    bodies 
    all 
    achin' 
    and 
    racked 
    with 
    pain, 

    now 
    listen! 

    Lift 
    that 
    bar, 
    you'd 
    better, 

    tote 
    that 
    bail, 

    And 
    if 
    ya' 
    get 
    little 
    drunk, 

    You'll 
    land 
    in 
    jail. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    I'm 
    so 
    weary, 
    and 
    sick 
    of 
    tryin', 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    liv
    in', 

    but 
    afraid 
    of 
    dyin'. 

    That, 
    that 
    god- 
    darn' old 
    river, 

    he 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling 
    along. 

    Keep 
    on 
    rollin' along. 

    Interlude 2



    Keep 
    on 
    Verse 5
    rollin' 
    along. 

    Old 
    man 
    river 
    don't 
    you 

    stop 
    your 
    way. 

    Keep 
    on 
    runnin' 
    from 
    the 
    north, 

    the 
    south, 
    the 
    east or west, 

    You 
    gotta roll 
    it

    • 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.
