    take 
    her 
    own 
    flights 
    of fancy 

    Each 
    time 
    she 
    found 
    herself 
    alone 

    She'd 
    get 
    on 
    her 
    dream 
    song 

    and 
    she'd 
    sail 
    away 

    With 
    her 
    baby 
    to 
    find 
    that

    there's 

    no 
    heaven 
    for 
    me? 

    The 
    only 
    difference 
    in 
    my 
    life 

    and 
    hell 
    are 
    the flames 

    So 
    she 
    sang, 
    Sweet 
    Baby 
    James 

    Verse 7

    The 
    only 
    difference 
    in 
    my 
    life 

    and 
    hell 
    are 
    the 
    flames 

    So 
    she 
    sang, 

    Sweet 
    Baby

    • 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.
