    Verse 1
    There 
    is 
    house 
    down 
    in 
    New 
    Orleans 

    They 
    call 
    the 
    Rising 
    Sun 

    And 
    it's 
    been 
    the 
    ruin 

    of 
    many 
    poor 
    boy 

    And 
    me, 
    oh 
    God, 
    I'm 
    one 

    Verse 2
    Go 
    tell 
    my 
    youngest 
    brother 
    for 
    me 

    Not 
    to 
    do 
    the 
    things 
    I've 
    done 

    But 
    to 
    shun 
    that 
    house 

    down 
    in 
    New 
    Orleans 

    They 
    call 
    the 
    Rising 
    Sun 

    Solo 1




    Verse 3
    Oh, 
    well, 
    the 
    only 
    thing 
    that 
    rounder 
    needs 

    Is 
    suitcase 
    or 
    trunk 

    And 
    the 
    only 
    time 
    he's 
    satisfied 

    Is 
    when 
    he's 
    on 
    drunk 

    Verse 4
    So 
    fill 
    up 
    your 
    glasses 
    to 
    the 
    brim 

    Let 
    the 
    drinks 
    flow 
    merrily 
    'round 

    And 
    we'll 
    drink 
    to 
    the 
    health 

    of 
    rounder 
    poor 
    boy 

    Who 
    goes 
    from 
    town 
    to 
    town 

    Solo 2




    Verse 5
    Now, 
    boys, 
    don't 
    believe 

    what 
    bad 
    girl 
    tells 
    you 

    Though 
    her 
    eyes 
    be 
    blue 
    or 
    brown 

    Unless 
    she's 
    on 
    some 
    scaffold 
    high 

    Sayin', 
    "Boys, 
    can't 
    come 
    down" 

    Solo 3




    Verse 6
    They'll 
    take 
    me 
    back 
    down 
    to 
    New 
    Orleans 

    To 
    face 
    the 
    crimes 
    I've 
    done 

    And 
    they'll 
    tie 
    me 
    to 
    ball 
    and 
    chain 

    Un
    til 
    my 
    race 
    is 
    run

    • 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.
