    and 
    they 
    cut 
    and they 
    riveted 

    and 
    the welding 
    torches 
    were 
    bright 

    Making 
    a strap 
    on 
    river's 
    back, 

    went 
    on 
    pourin' 
    from 
    day 
    till 
    night

    late 

    Now 
    the 
    Verse 6
    wind 
    was 
    tugging 
    at 
    the 
    maple 

    trees 
    but 
    a steel 
    man 
    knows 
    no 
    fear 

    If 
    some
    body 
    wanted 
    to

    hard 
    as 
    it 
    could 

    And 
    that 
    steel 
    bridge

    a leaf 
    in

    stick 
    of 
    wood

    Verse 9

    and 
    the rivets 

    broke

    water 
    heard 
    the 
    cry 

    And 
    that 
    steel 
    bridge 
    shook 
    off

    hound
    dog shakes 
    off 
    flies

    And 
    as 
    the

    on 
    the tower 
    said 
    a quarter-

    • 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.
