We traveled this land

back in nineteen sixty- two

We played the places that were

home to me and you

We drove to Memphis, we rocked a set

We walked the streets at night

and smoked a cigarette

You did your best to make

I never thought about the

color of your skin

I never worried 'bout the hotel I was in

You were the man who earned

the glory and the fame

But cowards felt that they

could call you any name

You were the star, standing in the light

That won you nothing on

a city street at night

You sang for freedom, but lived life free

You were a star when you

When I look back on it,

I feel a burning rage

You sang "You Send Me,"

I sang "I Wonder Why"

I still wonder,

you were way too young to die

  • 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.”
