  • Verse 1
    You keep 

    looking 
    out 
    my 
    win
    dow 

    At 
    the driftwood 
    floating 
    by 

    Like 
    a flock 
    of bird
    s in 
    falltime 

    You're just 
    itching 
    to 
    fly 

    I know 
    I can
    not 
    hold 
    you 

    Cause you 
    live 
    life 
    to 
    the hilt 

    So go 
    on 
    get 
    out 
    of here 
    girl 

    don't want 
    your 
    guilt. 

    Verse 2
    Go 
    on 
    and 
    roll 
    down 
    your 
    river 
    Babe 

    I'll 
    bet 
    you'll 
    make 
    that muddy 

    wa
    ter 
    churn 

    You've 
    earned 
    every 
    scar 

    That you brought 
    with 

    you Baby 

    But there's 
    one 
    lesson 
    that 

    you'll 
    never 
    learn. 

    What 
    goes 
    down 
    that 
    river 

    don't 
    re
    turn. 

    Verse 3

    remember 
    when 
    you 
    washed 

    up 
    on 
    my 
    doorstep 

    You 
    had 
    dirty 
    face, 

    damp 
    dress 
    and a dream 

    But now 
    you're just 
    a fish 

    out 
    of 
    the 
    water, 
    Baby 

    It's 
    time 
    to 
    throw 
    you back 

    into 
    the stream. 

    Verse 4
    So 
    go 
    on 
    and 
    roll 
    down 
    your 
    river 
    Babe 

    I'll 
    bet 
    you'll 
    make 
    that 
    muddy 

    water 
    churn 

    You've earned 
    every 
    scar 

    That you 
    brought 
    with 
    you Baby 

    But 
    there's 
    one 
    lesson 
    that 

    you'll 
    never 
    learn. 

    What 
    goes 
    down 
    that 
    river 

    don't 
    re
    turn. 

    Verse 5

    Now 
    don't 
    you bleed 
    on 
    me 

    about 
    all 
    our 
    good 
    times 

    Don't 
    tell 
    me 
    that 
    you'll 

    never 
    be 
    the same 

    Don't 
    tell 
    me 
    anything 

    but goodbye 
    Baby 

    More 
    than that 
    would 
    be 

    just 
    another 
    game. 

    Verse 6
    So 
    go 
    on 
    and 
    roll 
    down 
    your 
    river 
    Babe 

    I'll 
    bet 
    you'll 
    make 
    that 
    muddy 

    water 
    churn 

    You've 
    earned 
    every 
    scar 

    That 
    you brought 
    with 
    you Baby 

    But 
    there's 
    one 
    lesson 
    that 

    you'll 
    never 
    learn. 

    What 
    goes 
    down 
    that 
    river 

    don't 
    re
    turn. 

    Verse 7

    You leave 
    me 
    with 
    a month 
    of 
    your 

    sweet 
    madness 

    You leave 
    me 
    with 
    your 
    music 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    You 
    leave 
    me 
    with 
    the mystery 

    of 
    the 
    river 
    rolling 

    You 
    leave 
    me 
    with 
    a desert 
    for 
    my 
    bed. 

    Verse 8
    So 
    go 
    on 
    and 
    roll 
    down 
    your 
    river 
    Babe 

    I'll 
    bet 
    you'll make 
    that 

    muddy 
    wa
    ter 
    churn 

    You've 
    earned 
    every 
    scar 

    That 
    you brought 
    with 
    you Baby 

    But 
    there's 
    one 
    lesson 
    that 

    you'll 
    nev
    er 
    learn. 

    What 
    goes 
    down 
    that 
    river 
    don't 
    re
    turn.

    • 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.
