Verse 1
F
C
G

Long ago I had a dream
E

A man came up to me
Am

He gave me paper and a pen
D

And a cast- iron guarantee
G

He said "Write six words,

make the next line rhyme
E

Learn four basic chords
Am

When you've got the third line,

well, in next to no time
D

You'll be wanting more"
Verse 2
G

Well, I didn't wanna know

about a quid pro quo
E

Or why he was picking on me
Am

Guess he didn't know

that I was tired of school
D

And bored of poetry
G

So I played along, stifled a yawn
E

Perhaps he was wrong in the head
Am

And when I woke, I found a note
D

And this is what it said:
Verse 3
G

You can write your own words
E

You can sing your own song
Am

And it doesn't really matter

if you're out of tune
D

Or if no one sings along
G

You can write your own words
E

And you can make your own rules
Am

And it doesn't really matter

how cool you are
D

Or what grades you got at school

When you sing your own song
G
F
C
Verse 4

Am

So I took the advice, suffice it to say
D

That the rest is mystery

And if anyone out there's
Am

nervous or scared
D

I suggest you listen to me
Verse 5
G

You can write your own words
E

You can sing your own song
Am

And it doesn't really matter

if you're out of tune
D

Or if no one sings along
G

Cos if you do what you like
E

And you like what to do
Am

Then someone somewhere

knows you're there
D

And the world may come to you
G

My four- year- old just makes them up

Sometimes with explanatory mime

No one's told her that it's difficult yet

That isn't in her head

So we sing her song all evening long

  • 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.
