    Verse 1
    I was 
    born and 
    raised 
    on 
    steel 
    river 

    see it all like 
    it 
    was yesterday 

    The 
    ships 
    and 
    bridges 
    they 

    were 
    all delivered 

    From Sydney 
    harbor 

    to the 
    Sisco bay 

    Verse 2
    And 
    I met 
    my love 

    down on steel 
    river 

    We served 
    our 
    dreams 
    and 
    spent 

    our 
    childhood 
    days 

    In 
    rainy street
    s we'd kiss 

    away 
    the 
    shivers 

    And hide 
    from 
    fear inside 

    the latest 
    craze 

    Verse 3
    Dancing 
    to 
    Motown 

    Making love 
    with 
    Carole King 

    record 
    playing 

    And 
    oh how I 
    loved you 

    Say goodbye 
    steel 
    river 

    Verse 4
    Ten thousand 
    bombers hit the 

    steel 
    river 

    And 
    many 
    died 

    to keep 
    her running 
    free 

    And 
    she 
    survived 
    but now she's 

    gone forever 

    Her 
    burning 
    heart 
    is 
    just 
    memory 

    And I ran 
    away 
    from life 
    Verse 5
    on 
    steel river 

    Luck 
    or 
    not 
    I gladly 
    took 
    the 
    break 

    The 
    odds 
    were low 
    the 

    chances 
    nearly 
    zero 

    A chance 
    it was 
    had 
    to 
    take 

    Say 
    goodbye 
    steel 
    river 

    Verse 6
    They say 
    that salmon 

    swim in 
    steel 
    river 

    They 
    say 
    it's 




    good 
    to 
    see 
    them back 
    again 

    know 
    it hurts 
    to 
    see 
    what 

    really 
    happened 

    I know one 
    sal
    mon ain't 

    no 
    good 
    to 
    them 

    They 
    were born and 
    raised 
    Verse 7

    to serve their 
    steel mother 

    It was they 
    taught and all 

    they ever 
    knew 

    And 
    they 
    believed 
    that she 

    would keep 
    their chil
    dren 

    Even 
    though not a 
    single 

    word was 
    true 

    Say goodbye 
    steel 

    Outro 1
    river

    • 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.
