    Verse 1
    Doctor, 

    doctor 
    tell me 
    the time 
    of day 

    Another 
    bottle's 
    empty, 

    another 
    penny 
    spent 

    He 
    turned 
    around 
    and he 

    slowly 
    walked 
    away 

    They 
    shot 
    him in the 
    back 

    and 
    down 
    he 
    went 

    Verse 2

    Shine 
    your light 

    Movin' 
    on 

    You 
    burned 
    so 
    bright 

    Roll on, 
    John 

    Verse 3

    From the 
    Liverpool 
    docks 
    to the 
    red-light 

    Hamburg 
    Hamburg 
    street

    Down 
    in the 
    quarry 
    with the 

    Quarry 
    men 

    Playing 
    to the 
    big 
    crowds, 

    playing 
    to the 
    cheap 
    seat

    Another 
    day 
    in the life 
    on your 
    way 

    to your 
    journey's 
    end 

    Verse 4

    Shine 
    your light 

    Movin' 
    on 

    You 
    burned 
    so bright 

    Roll 
    on, John 


    Verse 5
    Sailin' 
    through the 
    trade 
    winds 

    bound 
    for 
    the south 

    Rags 
    on your 
    back 
    just like 

    any 
    other 
    slave 

    They 
    tied 
    your hands 
    and they 

    clamped 
    your 
    mouth 

    Wasn't 
    no way 
    out 
    of that 

    deep 
    dark 
    cave 

    Verse 6

    Shine 
    your light 

    Movin' 
    on 

    You burned 
    so bright 

    Roll 
    on, John 

    Verse 7

    heard 
    the news 
    today, 
    oh 
    boy 

    They 
    hauled 
    your 
    ship 
    up 

    on 
    the 
    shore 

    Now the 
    city 
    gone 
    dark, 

    there is 
    no more 
    joy 

    They 
    tore the 
    heart 
    right 
    out 

    and 
    cut him 
    to 
    the core 

    Verse 8

    Shine 
    your light 

    Movin' 
    on 

    You 
    burned 
    so bright 

    Roll 
    on, 
    John 


    Verse 9
    Put on 
    your bags 
    and 

    get 'em 
    packed 

    Leave right 
    now, 

    you 
    won't 
    be far 
    from wrong 

    The 
    sooner 
    you go 
    the quicker 

    you'll 
    be back 

    You've been 
    cooped 
    up 
    on 

    an 
    island 
    far 
    too 
    long 

    Verse 10
    Shine 
    your light 

    Movin' 
    on 

    You burned 
    so 
    bright 

    Roll on, 
    John 

    Verse 11

    Slow 
    down 
    you're 
    moving 

    way 
    too 
    fast 

    Come 
    together 
    right 
    now 
    over 
    me 

    Your 
    bones 
    are 
    weary, 

    you're 
    about 
    to 
    breathe 
    your last 

    Lord, 
    you know 
    how 
    hard 
    that 
    it 
    can 
    be 

    Verse 12

    Shine 
    your 
    light 

    Movin' 
    on 

    You 
    burned 
    so 
    bright 

    Roll on, 
    John 


    Verse 13
    Roll 
    on, John, 

    roll 
    through the 
    rain and 
    snow 

    Take the 
    right-hand road 
    road 
    and 

    go 
    where the 
    buffalo 
    roam 

    They'll 
    trap you 
    in an 
    ambush 

    before 
    you 
    know 

    Too late 
    now 
    to 
    sail 
    back 
    home 

    Verse 14
    Shine 
    your light 

    Movin' 
    on 

    You 
    burned 
    so bright 

    Roll on, 
    John 


    Verse 15
    Tyger, 
    tyger 
    burning 
    bright 

    I pray 
    the 
    Lord 
    my soul 
    to 
    keep

    In 
    the 
    forests 
    of 
    the night 

    Cover 
    'em over 
    and 
    let him 
    sleep 

    Verse 16
    Shine 
    your 
    light 

    Movin' 
    on 

    You 
    burned 
    so 
    bright

    • 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.
