    Here 
    we 

    all work 
    along the 

    Mississippi 

    Here 
    we 
    all work 
    while the 

    white folk 
    play 

    Pullin' 
    them boats from 

    the 
    dawn till 
    sunset 

    Get
    tin' 
    no rest 
    till 
    the 

    judgment 
    day 

    Don't 
    look up 
    and don't 

    look down 

    You don't 
    ask me, 

    the boss 
    man frowned 

    Bend 
    your knees 
    and 
    bow 
    your head 

    And 
    pull 
    that 
    rope 
    un
    til 
    you're 
    dead 

    Let 
    me go 
    away from 
    the 

    Mississippi 

    Let 
    me go 
    away from 

    the white 
    man 
    boss 

    Show 
    me 
    that stream 
    called 
    the 

    River 

    Jordan 

    That's 
    the old 
    stream 

    that 
    I 
    long 
    to 
    cross 

    Old 

    Man 

    River, 
    that 

    Old 

    Man 

    River 

    He 
    must 
    know 
    something, 

    but 
    he don't 
    say 
    nothing 

    He 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling, 

    he keep
    s 
    on rolling 
    along 

    He 
    don't 
    plant 
    taters, 

    and 
    he 
    don't 
    plant 
    cot
    ton 

    An
    d them 
    what 
    plantin' 

    are 
    soon 
    for
    gotten 

    But 
    old 

    Man 

    River 
    just 
    keep
    s rollin' 
    along 

    You 
    an
    d 
    me, 
    we 
    sweat 
    and 
    strain 

    Body 
    all 
    achin' 
    and 
    racked 
    with 
    pain 

    Tote 
    that barge, 
    lift 
    that bale 

    You 
    get 
    a little 
    drunk 
    and 

    you land 
    in 
    jail 

    I 
    get 
    sweary 
    and 
    I'm 
    sick 
    of trying 

    I'm 
    tired of 
    livin', 

    but I'm scared 
    of 
    dyin' 

    And 
    old 
    man 

    River, 
    he just 
    keeps 
    rollin' 

    Allah

      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.
