    I didn't even
    Verse 1
    C

    know the man
    F

    I didn't know the man himself
    Gsus4
    G

    Even though his music filled my life
    C

    As it has so many others
    Gsus4
    I knew that he had died
    Verse 2
    C

    that week
    F

    After fighting death a year or more
    Gsus4

    But I had had a rule before

    C

    That funerals were a waste of flowers
    Verse 3
    Am

    But something said I had to go
    Em

    To be a witness to his gift of love

    A man who never once
    F

    gave up on life
    Gsus4

    Until death took him

    in his tracks

    The people stood

    In New York City it had rained
    Verse 5
    C


    that day

    The streets were silver and
    Gsus4

    the sky was gray

    But in the church the music

    soared and sang
    G
    C

    And seemed to fill the air with shining sun

    The man was a hero

    C

    the streets again

    The people wandered through
    Gsus4

    the falling rain

    They waved their hands and
    G
    Gsus4

    dried their tears
    G
    Gsus4

    And turned to go

    about their lives again

    Gsus4
    But none of us will

    be the same

    If we hear the things his music says

    That loving is the gift of life

    And making music was his way of love

    The man was a hero

    He played the music of our souls

    • 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.
