    • Verse 1
    One 
    of these days 
    I'm gonna 

    lay 
    this 
    hammer 
    down 

    And I won't 
    have 
    to drag 

    this 
    weight 
    around 

    When 
    there ain't 
    no hunger 

    And 
    there 
    ain't no 
    pain 

    Then I won't 
    have 
    to swing 
    this thing 

    One of 
    these days 
    I'm gonna 

    lay this 
    hammer 
    down 

    Verse 2
    One of 
    these nights 
    I'm gonna sing 

    a different 
    tune 

    All night 
    long 
    be
    neath 

    the silvery 
    moon 

    When 
    the 
    war 
    is 
    over 

    And 
    the 
    union's 
    strong 

    Won't sing 
    no 
    more 
    angry 
    songs 

    One 
    of these nights 
    I'm gonna 

    sing 
    a different 
    tun
    e 

    Verse 3
    Someday 
    when 
    my 
    struggle's 
    through 

    I 
    won't 
    have 
    to 
    strive 

    Until 
    then 
    all 
    I 
    can 
    do 

    Is 
    let 
    my 
    hammer 
    fly 

    Verse 4
    One 
    of these days 
    I'm gonna 

    lay this 
    hammer 
    down 

    Leave 
    my burden 
    restin' 

    on 
    the ground 

    When the 
    air 
    don't choke 

    ya and 
    the 
    ocean's 
    clean 

    And 
    kids 
    don't 
    die 
    for gas
    oline 

    One of 
    these days 
    I'm gonna 
    lay 

    this 
    hammer 
    down 

    Verse 5

    John 
    Henry 
    was 
    a mighty 
    man 

    Worked 
    his 
    whole 
    life 
    long 

    When 
    he 
    made 
    that 
    hammer 
    ring 

    He 
    al
    ways 
    sang 
    this 
    song

    One of 
    these 
    days

    When 
    there ain't 
    no hunger 

    And 
    there ain't no 
    pain 

    Then 
    I 
    won't 
    have 
    to swing 
    this 
    thing 

    One 
    of these days 
    I'm gonna 

    lay

      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.
