    Little

    Bus

    where 

    it's 
    go
    ing 
    to" 

    And the 
    driver 
    says, 

    "You don't 
    know where 
    this 
    bus 
    is going 
    to?" 

    Old 
    man says, 
    "No, 

    I don't, 
    do 
    you?" 

    Driver 
    says, 
    "You don't 
    know where 

    this bus 
    is 
    going 
    to?" 

    Old 
    man 
    says, 

    "I 
    just 
    want 
    it 
    to get

    somewhere, 
    somewhere, 

    some
    where"

    bus 
    is rolling 
    along, 

    outside 
    it's 
    look
    ing kinda 
    strange 

    The Earth 
    is shak
    ing, 

    the clouds 
    are breaking 

    Everything 
    is 
    blue 
    where 

    it 
    was 
    gray 

    A thou
    sand 
    rivers 
    flood 

    over 
    fields 
    of snow 

    The 
    driver 
    looks 
    back 
    in 
    the 

    mirror 
    for 
    the old 
    man 

    "Where did 
    he 
    go, 
    where 
    did 
    he go? 

    Oh, 
    there 
    he

    son, 

    but 
    I'm happy 
    to go" 

    Hey, 
    "I'm

    it's 
    gonna 
    take 
    me some
    where" 

    Hey, 
    he 
    said, 
    "I'm staying 
    on 
    the ride, 

    it's 
    gonna 
    take 
    me somewhere 

    Somewhere, 
    somewhere, 

    some

    was born 
    Verse 3
    with no 
    name, 

    knowing 
    noth
    ing, 
    still 
    I don't 

    Somebody 
    said, 
    'You need 
    a name, 

    I'm 
    gonna give 
    you 
    a name' 

    And 
    said, 
    'No, 
    you 
    won't,' I said, 

    'No, 
    you 
    won't'" 

    Oh, 


    "You 
    can let 
    me off 
    here, 

    son, 
    thank 
    you 
    for

    ride" 

    And 
    the 
    driver 
    said, 
    "This is 
    the middle 
    of 
    nowhere, 

    sir," 

    He 
    pulls 
    off 
    to 
    the side 

    And the 
    old 
    man 
    says, 
    "It might 
    look 
    that way 
    to you, 

    maybe 
    it is"

    • 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.
