    Verse 1
    River starts 

    with a 
    drop 
    of rain 
    some
    where 
    in this 
    world 

    Light 
    years 
    shape 
    this 
    arc 
    of sky 
    and sand, 

    precious 
    pearl 
    and 

    You will 
    light 
    a stranger
    's life 

    by 
    letting 
    yours 
    unfurled 

    Verse 2
    On 
    and on 
    it goes, 

    sparks 
    upon 
    the wind 

    Like the 
    July 
    of 4th 
    the 
    crown 

    of stars 
    and a 
    good time 
    grin 

    On 
    and 
    on 
    it flies 
    on 
    new bird's 
    wing 

    In a 
    beating 
    heart, 

    the 
    moon 
    light rolls 
    and 
    the gift 
    of 
    spring 

    Verse 3
    You can 
    say 
    that 
    you'll never 

    matter 
    lose 
    or 
    win 

    World 
    won't 
    care, 

    and 
    it's hard 
    to bare 
    such 
    a lonely 
    wind 

    You can 
    change 
    strangers 

    life 
    by 
    letting 
    yours 
    begin 

    Verse 4
    On 
    an
    d on 
    it 
    goes, 

    chances 
    everywhere 

    Like the 
    train 
    you missed 
    and 
    the rain 

    that fell 
    on 
    the 
    summer 
    air 

    On 
    an
    d on 
    it 
    flies 
    like 

    the 
    time 
    we've 
    lost 

    It's 
    either 
    running 
    out 
    or 
    covering 
    all 
    our dreams 
    in 
    rust 

    Interlude 1



    Every 
    night 
    the TV 
    shows 
    one 
    Verse 5

    more 
    bad 
    day's 
    news 

    world 
    away 
    from what 

    know 
    and 
    what I 
    do 

    But I could 
    save 
    a stranger's 

    life 
    if I 
    had 
    clue 

    Verse 6
    And 
    on 
    and 
    on 
    it 
    goes, 

    attention 
    must 
    be 
    paid 

    Be
    fore 
    it seems 
    we're 
    once 

    all 
    short 
    and a 
    second 
    late 

    On 
    and on 
    it flies 
    across 
    the 

    stratosphere 

    At the speed 
    of love, 

    if 
    you 
    stop 
    and 
    feel 
    it you 
    will 
    hear 

    On 
    Verse 7
    an
    d on 
    it 
    goes, 

    sparks 
    upon 
    the 
    wind 

    Like 
    the 
    July 
    of 
    4th the 
    crown 

    of stars 
    and 
    a good 
    time 
    grin 

    On 
    an
    d on 
    it 
    flies 
    on 

    new 
    bird's 
    wing 

    In 
    beating 
    heart, 

    the moon 
    light rolls 
    and the 
    gift 
    of 
    spring

    • 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.
