    Verse 1
    The flies 
    have 
    quit 
    their 
    buzzing 

    Even 
    Bear 
    has 
    stopped 
    his 
    barking 

    They 
    all 
    sense 
    something 
    brewing 

    Up 
    the James 
    and 
    headed 

    this 
    way 

    Verse 2

    Bobby

    his 
    morn
    ing 
    coffee 

    Says 
    'Have 
    you 
    finished 

    with 
    the funnies? 

    Looks 
    like 
    a storm's 
    coming 
    honey 

    Guess 
    we'll 
    have 
    to stay 

    in 
    bed 
    today' 

    Verse 3
    I've 
    heard 
    that 
    into 
    every 
    life 

    A little 
    of 
    it 
    must 
    fall 

    If 
    there's 
    any 
    truth 
    to 
    the say
    ing, 

    Lord, 
    let 
    it 
    be 
    a 
    southern 
    rain 

    Verse 4

    Marie 
    was 
    born 
    in 
    Macon, 
    Georgia 

    She 
    met 
    a 
    west 
    coast 
    lawyer 

    He 
    plucked 
    that 
    sweet 
    magnolia 

    And 
    car
    ried 
    her 
    to 
    the hill
    s 
    of West 
    L.A. 

    Verse 5

    She 
    says 
    'I 
    never 
    thought 

    I'd 
    tire 
    of a 
    dollar 

    But 
    this 
    life 
    has 
    grown 
    so 
    hollow 

    Every 
    night 
    there's 
    lipstick 
    on 
    his collar 

    And 
    every 
    morning 
    I 
    wash 
    it 
    away' 

    Verse 6
    She 
    heard 
    that 
    into 
    every 
    life 

    A little 
    of 
    it 
    must 
    fall 

    So 
    she 
    spends 
    her 
    evenings 
    pray
    ing 

    For 
    a little 
    of that 
    southern 
    rain 

    Verse 7

    Cars 
    alive 
    on 
    city 
    streets 

    Of sparkling 
    black 
    water 

    Like 
    waves 
    beneath 
    my 
    window 

    Never 
    break 
    just 
    roll away 

    To
    night, 
    this 
    rain 
    will 
    be 
    my 
    lul
    laby 

    These cars, 
    my 
    dreams 

    To carry 
    me 
    home 
    to 
    stay 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 8
    The 
    wipers 
    beat 
    a 
    rhythm 

    Truck 
    spray 
    obscures 
    my 
    vision 

    But 
    I'm 
    closing 
    in 
    on 
    my 
    destination 

    Two 
    more 
    hours 
    and 
    I'll be 

    at 
    your door 

    Verse 9

    And 
    it 
    will never 
    cease 
    to 
    amaze 
    me 

    How a 
    little 
    rain 
    can 
    drive 
    folks 
    crazy 

    When 
    I'd 
    trade 
    all 
    my 
    blue 
    skies 
    gladly 

    For 
    your 
    blue 
    eyes, 
    crooked 
    smile 

    And 
    a steady 
    downpour 

    Verse 10
    I've 
    heard 
    that 
    into 
    every 
    life 

    A 
    little 
    of it 
    must 
    fall, 

    But 
    you'll 
    never 
    catch 

    me 
    com
    plaining 

    About 
    too 
    much 
    of 
    that 
    southern 
    rain

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
