    Verse 1
    Sometimes 
    I wish 
    I was 
    born 
    in 

    another 
    time 

    long 
    long 
    time 
    ago 

    Things 
    were much 
    harder 
    then 

    But I 
    like 
    the clothes 
    they wore 

    And the 
    way 
    they did 
    their 
    hair 

    At 
    least 
    they took 
    some 
    care 

    Then 
    they all 
    went 
    off 
    to war 

    Verse 2
    You can 
    never 
    have 
    it 
    all 


    Sometimes 
    I wish 
    I was 

    born 
    in 
    another 
    time 

    Say 
    in 
    1924 

    People 
    didn't 
    have 
    much 
    money 
    then 

    In fact 
    most 
    folks 
    were 
    poor 

    But 
    what 
    about 
    those 
    cars 

    And the 
    sound 
    of 
    those 
    guitars 

    And 
    the voice 
    of 
    Old 
    King 

    Cole 

    Interlude 1
    Soothed 
    me 
    to 
    my soul 



    Verse 3
    Sometimes 
    I wish 
    I was 
    born 
    in 
    another 
    time 

    In 
    1754 

    I'd go drinking 
    with 
    old 
    Robbie 
    Burns 

    Whose 
    words 
    are 
    made 
    of gold 

    Oh 
    Christ 
    we 
    need 
    him 
    now 

    Said 
    a talking 
    Ayrshire 
    cow 

    But now 
    he's drifted 
    up 
    to 
    heaven 

    He was 
    only 
    37 

    Just a young 
    man 
    really 

    Verse 4
    Cut 
    down 
    in his 
    prime 


    Sometimes 
    I wish 
    I was 
    born 
    in another 
    time 

    long 
    long 
    time 
    ago 

    Things 
    were much 
    harder 
    then 

    But 
    like 
    the clothes 
    they 
    wore 

    And the 
    way 
    they did 
    their 
    hair 

    At 
    least 
    they showed 

    some 
    flair 

    Then they 
    all went 
    off 
    to 

    war 

    Verse 5
    You can 
    never 
    have 
    it all 

    You can 
    never 
    have 
    it 
    all 

    You can 
    have 
    some things 

    some 
    of the time 

    You can 
    have 
    most 
    things 

    nearly 
    all 
    the time 

    But you 
    can't 
    have 
    it 

    All 
    of 
    the time

    • 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.
