    Music 

    Here 
    we 
    are working 
    on 
    the 

    Mississip
    pi 

    Here 
    we 
    all 
    work while 

    the rich 
    boss 
    plays, 

    Pulling 
    them 
    bows 
    from 
    the 

    dawn 
    till 
    sunset. 

    And 
    get
    ting 
    no rest 
    till 
    the 

    judgment 
    day. 

    Don't 
    look up 
    and 
    don't 
    look 
    down. 

    Don't 
    dare make 
    the 
    rich boss 
    frown. 

    Bend 
    your 
    knees 
    an

    d bow 
    your 
    heads 

    And pull 
    them 
    ropes un

    til 
    you're 
    dead 

    Let 
    me 
    go away 
    from 
    the 

    Mississippi, 

    Let 
    me 
    go away 
    from 
    the 

    rich man's 
    boss. 

    Show 
    me 
    that stream 
    called 
    the 

    River 
    of 

    Joy
    den 

    Now 
    that's 
    the old 
    stream 
    that 
    I'd 
    long 

    to 
    cross 

    Well, 

    Old 

    Man 

    River
    , 
    that 

    Old 

    Man 

    River, 

    He don't 
    say 
    noth
    ing, 

    he must 
    know 
    something, 

    But 
    old 

    Man 

    River, 
    he 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling 
    along, 

    rolling, 
    rolling, 
    rolling. 

    He 
    don't 
    plant 
    tater
    s, 

    and he 
    don't 
    plant 
    cot
    ton, 

    And them 
    that 
    plant 
    some 

    are 
    soon 
    forgot
    ten. 

    But 
    old 
    man 

    Rip
    per, 
    he 
    just 
    keeps 
    a -rolling 
    along, 

    a 
    a 
    a 

    Yes, 
    you 
    and 
    me, 

    we 
    sweat 
    and 
    strain 

    But 
    it's 
    all 
    a game 

    and 
    right 
    with 
    pain 

    Here 
    you 
    tow 
    that 
    barge, 

    leave 
    that 
    big 
    hill 

    You 
    get 
    a 
    little 
    drunk 
    an

    d 
    you'll 
    land 
    in 
    jail 

    All 
    I 
    do get 
    dreary 
    and 
    I'm so 
    sick 
    of try
    ing I'm 

    tired 
    of 
    liv
    ing and 
    feared 
    of 
    dy
    ing 

    But 

    Old 

    Man 

    River 

    Just 

    Keeps 

    Rolling, 

    Rolling, 

    Rolling, 

    Rolling, 
    rolling, 
    rolling.

      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.
