    Verse 1
    In 
    the Spring 
    of 
    Forty- 
    sev
    en, 

    So 
    the 
    story, 
    it 
    is 
    told, 

    Old 
    John 
    Sutter 
    went 
    to 
    the 

    mill 
    site 

    Found 
    piece 
    of 
    shining 
    gold. 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    he 
    took 
    it 
    to 
    the city 

    Where 
    the 
    word, 
    like 
    wildfire, 
    spread. 

    And old 
    John 
    Sutter 
    soon 
    came 

    to 
    wish 
    he'd 

    Left 
    that 
    stone 
    in 
    the river 
    bed. 

    Verse 3

    For 
    they 
    came 
    like 
    herds 
    of 
    locusts 

    Every 
    woman, 
    child 
    and 
    man 

    In 
    their 
    lumbering 
    Conesto
    gas 

    They 
    left 
    their 
    track

    upon 
    the 
    land. 

    Verse 4
    [Chorus] 
    Some 
    would 

    fail 
    and 
    some 

    would 
    prosper 

    Some 
    would 
    die 

    and some 
    would 
    kill 

    Some 
    would 
    thank 
    the 
    Lord 

    for 
    their 
    de
    liverance 

    And some 
    would 
    curse 

    John 
    Sutter's 
    Mill. 

    Verse 5

    Well, 
    they 
    came 
    from 
    New 
    York 
    City, 

    And 
    they 
    came 
    from 
    Alabam' 

    With 
    their 
    dream
    of 

    finding 
    fortunes 

    In 
    this 
    wild 
    unsettled 
    land. 

    Verse 6

    Well, some 
    fell 
    prey 
    to 
    hos
    tile 
    arrows 

    As 
    they 
    tried 
    to 
    cross 

    the 
    plain
    s. 

    And some 
    were 
    lost 
    in 
    the 

    Rocky 
    Mountain

    With 
    their 
    hand
    froze 

    to 
    the 
    reins. 

    Oh... 


    Verse 7
    [Chorus] 

    Well, 


    some 
    pushed 

    on 
    to Califor
    nia 

    And 
    others 
    stopped 
    to 
    take 
    their 
    rest. 

    And 
    by 
    the Spring 
    of 

    Eighteen- 
    six
    ty 

    They 
    had 
    opened 
    up 
    the 
    west. 

    Verse 8
    And 
    then 
    the rail
    road 

    came 
    be
    hind 
    them 

    And 
    the 
    land 
    was 

    plowed 
    and 
    tamed, 

    When 
    Old 
    John 
    Sutter 
    went 

    to meet 
    his 
    maker

    He'd 
    not 
    one 
    penny 
    to 

    his 
    name. 

    Oh... 


    Verse 9
    [Chorus] 

    And 
    some 
    would 

    curse 
    John 
    Sutter's 
    Mill 

    Some 
    men's 
    thirsts 
    are 
    never 
    filled.

    • 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.
