    Verse 1
    Well, I 
    met him 
    in Minnesota 

    He 
    was 
    dark 
    and 
    overcast 

    With 
    long, 

    grey 
    hair 
    and eyes 
    that stared 

    Through 
    me 
    like 
    I was 
    glass 

    I asked 
    "Where 
    are you 
    going 
    to?" 

    He 
    said, "I'm 
    the wind 

    I'm just 
    blowing 
    through." 

    He 
    lit 
    up a cigarette 
    and 
    began 
    to talk 

    Verse 2

    "See the 
    doctors 
    told 
    me 

    that my 
    body 
    won't 
    hold 
    me 

    My 
    lungs 
    are turning 
    black 

    Been 
    lucky 
    strike's 
    fool 
    since 

    was at school 

    And there 
    ain't 
    no turning 
    back 

    They can't 
    tell 
    me how 
    long 
    I've got 

    Maybe 
    months 
    but 
    may
    be 
    not 

    I'm 
    taking 
    this 
    bike 
    and 

    riding 
    to New 
    York 

    Verse 3

    'Cause 
    wanna 
    see 
    my 
    grand-daugh

    ter one 
    one last 
    time 

    Wan
    na hold 
    her close 
    and 
    feel 

    her tiny 
    heartbeat 
    next 
    to 
    mine 

    Wanna 
    see my 
    son 
    and 

    the man 
    he's 
    become 

    Tell 
    him I'm 
    sorry 
    for the 

    things 
    I've done 

    And 
    I'd 
    do 
    it if 
    I had 
    to walk 

    I'm 
    taking

    Through the 
    forests 
    of 
    Wiscon

    sin 
    that 
    I knew 
    as 
    a boy 

    Past

    line 
    of 
    Chica

    Round the 
    lakes 
    of 
    Illinois 

    I lay my 
    head 
    in a motel 
    bed 
    where 
    my 

    back 
    is sore 
    and 
    my eye
    s turn 
    red 

    Listen 
    to 
    the truck
    s roll 
    past 
    my door 

    Through 
    the 
    fields 
    of 
    Ohio 
    as the 

    sunshine 
    paints 
    them 
    gold 

    I run 
    just like 
    river 
    runs, 

    rapid, 
    quick 
    and 
    cold 

    And 
    fly 
    through 
    Pennsylvani

    and 
    the 
    Jersey 
    turnpike 
    toll

    And 
    I won't stop 
    'til 

    get 
    to New 
    York

    time 

    Wanna

    his 
    eyes 
    spark
    ling 

    and 
    stare 
    back 
    into 
    mine 

    Now my 
    time 
    is shorter 

    I wanna 
    see my 
    daughter 

    Tell her 
    all 
    the 
    things 

    that I should have taught 
    her 

    And 
    I'd 
    do 
    it if 
    I had 
    to 
    walk 

    Oh, I'm 
    taking 
    this

    time 

    Lay 
    flowers 
    down

    the woman 
    who gave 

    me 
    the 
    best 
    years 
    of my 
    life

    • 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.
