Alexander the

He had the world

at his command

Somewhere deep down

s that he still didn't know

Or if there was some place he could go

They said that it ain't far off land
A

With a man called

Diogenes
G

Who possessed the kind of knowledge
A

That would put his mind at ease
Em

So

Alexander he settled up
A

A wing lookin' for that holy grail
Em

He rode and rode for miles and miles
A

Till at last he found the trail
G

Steppin' up, he said, I'm here
A

Please tell me what it is I crave
G

And the voice came back,

loud and clear

From the darkness of the cave

Is just the opinion of one man's mind
D
Em

There are no easy answers
G
A

That I know that'll satisfy you
D

You just gotta take your chances
Em
G

And do what you want to do
Em

But you should know that in this world
A

You get what you deserve
Em

So when your back's against the wall
A

You better not lose your nerve
G

So now you're standing

in front of the streetlight
A

You got some of the proof
G

And the pavement artists pat your feet
A

Lips are buried, can't you move?
D

I said, hey,
Em
G

you're standing in my lane

  • 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.
