    I 
    played 
    around 
    in 

    Chinatown, 
    passin' 
    the 
    time 
    away 

    When 
    blackjack 
    red 
    hit 
    me 
    on 
    the head, 

    when 
    I 
    woke 
    up 
    next 
    day 

    I 
    was 
    many 
    miles 
    away 

    I 
    was 
    shanghaied 
    on 
    an ocean 
    freighter, 

    I was 
    shanghaied 
    and 
    I 
    ain't 
    no 
    sailor 

    I was 

    Shanghai 
    on 
    an 
    ocean 
    freighter, 

    I 
    want 
    to get 
    back 
    to 
    shore, 
    back 
    to the 

    Gulf 

    Coast 
    shore. 

    They 
    threw 
    me 
    off 
    in 
    old 

    Hong 

    Kong 
    and 
    put 
    me 
    on 
    my 
    own, 
    not a 
    penny 
    in 
    my 
    pocket, 

    ten 
    thousand 
    miles 
    from 
    home. 

    And 
    that's 
    a 
    mighty 
    long 
    way 
    from 
    home.

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
