    • Verse 1
    Up 
    the 
    same 

    old 
    river 
    that 
    run
    s 
    from 
    a 
    mountain 

    A 
    ship 
    full 
    of 
    men 
    came 
    somewhere 

    black 
    and 
    somewhere 
    brown 

    An
    d 
    in 
    their 
    hearts, 

    hopes 
    and 
    fears 
    they 
    were 
    counting 

    When 
    they 
    anchored 
    to 
    this 

    antique 
    land 

    There 
    a 
    brown 
    man 
    met 

    a 
    lady 
    in 
    a lily 
    white 

    Their 
    hands 
    were 
    rough 
    but 
    their 

    hearts 
    were 
    right 

    I 
    was 
    born 
    east 
    of 

    Osmokey 

    By 
    that 
    same 
    old 
    river 
    that 
    brought 

    my 
    granddaddy's 
    smile 

    But 
    if 
    I 
    don't 
    go 
    soon 
    the 

    air's 
    gonna 
    choke 
    me 

    There's 
    too 
    much 
    concrete 
    cars 
    and 
    wimper 

    bars 
    going 
    up 
    all 
    the 
    while 

    I 
    love 
    people 
    but 
    I 
    won't 
    soon 

    How 
    can 
    you 
    love 
    when 
    there's 

    no 
    room? 

    Carry 
    me 
    away, 
    wind, 
    carry 
    me 

    Carry 
    me 
    away, 
    wind, 
    carry 
    me 

    The 
    river 
    is 
    tangled 
    and 
    torn 

    The 
    people 
    are 
    looking 
    for 
    love 

    I 
    wanna 
    leave 
    this 
    rhythm 
    blowing, 

    I 
    wanna 
    leave 
    this 
    rhythm 
    blowing 

    Fill 
    it 
    with 
    space, 
    fill 
    it 
    with 
    trees, 
    fill 
    it 
    with 
    our 
    breeze, 

    yeah 


    We're 
    moving 
    up, 
    we're 
    moving 
    up
    , 
    we're 
    moving 
    up
    , 

    we're 
    moving 
    up. 


    No, 
    a 
    man 
    said 
    he 
    would 
    build 

    a 
    floating 
    city 

    Wouldn't 
    that 
    be 
    pretty, 

    feet 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    clouds? 

    But 
    tell 
    me, 
    my 
    friend, 
    how 
    to 
    live? 

    What 
    we 
    gonna 
    do 
    for 
    now? 

    I 
    love 
    people, 
    but 
    I 
    won't 
    soon 

    How 
    can 
    you 
    love 
    when 
    there's 
    no 
    room?

      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

      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.
