Verse 1
G
I and my family live on the banks of the
Hudson
River, and we've got a project there that's
a little bit unlike anything
I've ever heard.
We're getting the river
clean by sailing a sailboat
up and down.
Now you wouldn't think, what
can a sailboat do?
It can't actually clean up the river
itself.
But what we do is we bring people
together at the edge of the river.
And you know, you bring
people together for any purpose whatsoever,
C
G
you're in politics.
You can bring them together
to drink beer or to watch a football game
but you're affecting the body politic.
And the river has gotten cleaner.
We're swimming in the
D
Hudson again.
G
Anyway this is just one of the many
songs sung by the
D

Clearwater gang up and down the river.

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.”
