    Here I 
    stand by this 
    chilly 
    water 

    waitin’ for my 
    final 
    call 

    Standing 
    by 
    the river 

    looking beyond 

    Gazin’ toward 
    the 
    land 
    of fadeless 

    beauty o’er the 
    surges 
    rise 
    and fall 

    Standing by 
    the river 

    looking beyond 

    Verse 2
    Standing by 
    the river 
    waiting 

    for 
    the boatman 

    Listen 
    to 
    the music on 

    the other 
    shore 

    I can hear 
    the angels 
    singing out 

    a welcome 

    With my friends 
    and loved ones 

    Verse 3
    who 
    have gone before 


    Music from 
    the land of 
    endless 
    glory 

    fallin upon 
    my 
    listening 
    ear 

    Standing by 
    the river 

    looking bey
    ond 

    Faces of 
    friends 
    I often 
    vision 
    forms 

    of loved ones 
    oft 
    appear 

    Standing by 
    the river 
    looking 
    beyond

    the river 
    waiting for

    who 
    have gone before 


    Shadows 
    of night are 
    swiftly 
    falling 
    lo I 

    hear the 
    boatman’s oar 

    Standing by 
    the river 
    looking beyond 

    Many 
    are the 
    voices 
    sweetly 
    calling

    hear no 
    more

    the other 
    shore 

    I can hear 
    the

      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.
