    • Verse 1
    I 
    was 
    born 
    in 
    Saginaw, 
    Michigan 

    And 
    I 
    grew 
    up 
    in 
    a house 
    on 
    Saginaw 
    Bay 

    My 
    daddy 
    was 
    a poor 
    hard 

    working 
    Saginaw 
    fisherman 

    Too 
    many 
    times 
    he 
    came 

    home 
    with 
    too 
    little 
    pay 

    Verse 2

    I 
    loved 
    a girl 
    in 
    Saginaw, 
    Michigan 

    She 
    was 
    the daughter 
    of 
    a 
    wealthy, 

    wealthy 
    man 

    But 
    he 
    called 
    me, 

    "That 
    son 
    of 
    a Saginaw 
    fisherman" 

    And 
    not 
    good 
    enough 
    to 
    ever 
    claim 

    his 
    daughter's 
    hand 

    Verse 3

    That's 
    why 
    I'm 
    up 
    here 
    in 
    Alaska 

    look
    ing around 
    for gold 

    Like 
    a crazy 
    fool 
    I'm 
    a digging 

    in 
    the frozen 
    ground, 
    so 
    cold 

    But 
    with 
    each 
    new day 
    I 
    pray 

    I'll 
    strike 
    it 
    rich 
    and 
    then 

    I'll 
    go 
    back 
    home 
    and 
    claim 

    my 
    love 
    in 
    Saginaw, 
    Michigan 

    Verse 4

    I 
    wrote 
    my 
    love 
    in 
    Saginaw, 
    Michigan 

    I said, 
    "Honey, 
    I'm 
    a coming 
    home, 

    please 
    wait 
    for 
    me 

    And 
    you 
    can 
    tell 
    your 
    dad 
    that 
    I'm 

    coming 
    back 
    a 
    rich
    er 
    man 

    I've 
    hit 
    the 
    biggest 
    strike 
    in 

    Klondike 
    his
    tory" 

    Verse 5

    Her 
    dad 
    met 
    the 
    bus 
    in

    big 

    party 
    with

    ground 

    That 
    greedy 
    fool 
    is 
    a looking 
    for 

    the gold 
    I 
    never

    But 
    it

    • 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.”
