    ["Old 
    River
    "] 

    Old 
    Man 
    River, 
    that 
    Old 
    Man 
    River, 

    He 
    must 
    know 
    something, 

    but 
    don't 
    say 
    nothing, 

    He 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling, 

    he 
    keeps 
    on 
    rolling 
    along. 


    He 
    don't 
    plant 
    taters, 

    he don't 
    plant 
    cot
    ton, 

    And 
    them 
    that 
    plants 
    them 

    is 
    soon 
    forgot
    ten, 

    But 
    Old 
    Man 
    River, 

    he 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling 
    along. 


    You 
    and 
    me, 
    we 
    sweat 
    and 
    strain 

    Body 
    all 
    achin' 
    and 
    racked 
    with 
    pain 

    Tote 
    that 
    barge, 
    you 
    lift 
    that 
    bail 

    You 
    get 
    a 
    little drunk 
    an
    d 

    you 
    land 
    in 
    jail 

    I 
    get 
    weary 
    and 
    sick 
    of 
    tryin' 

    Tired 
    of 
    livin' 
    and 
    feared 
    of 
    dy

    But

    Don't

    and 
    they don't 
    plant 
    cotton 

    Them 
    dead 
    plants 
    and

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
