    • Verse 1
    Way 
    down 
    upon 
    the 
    Swanee 
    River 
    far, 

    far 
    away 

    There's 
    where 
    my 
    heart 
    is turning 
    ever 

    There's 
    where 
    the 
    old 
    folks 
    stay 

    Verse 2
    All 
    the 
    world 
    is 
    sad 
    and 
    dreary 

    Ev'ry 
    where 
    I 
    roam 

    Oh, 
    darkies 
    how 
    my 

    heart 
    grows 
    weary 

    Far 
    from 
    the 
    old 
    folks 
    at 
    home 

    All 
    up and 
    down 
    the whole 
    cre
    ation 

    Sadly 
    I 
    roam 

    Still 
    long
    ing 
    for 
    the 
    old 
    planta
    tion 

    And 
    for 
    the 
    folks 
    at 
    home 

    Verse 3
    All 
    'round 
    the little farm I 
    wandered 

    When I 
    was young 

    Than many 
    happy days 
    I 
    squander'd 

    Many 
    the 
    songs 
    I sung 

    Verse 4
    When 
    I 
    was 
    playing with 

    my 
    brother 

    Happy 
    was I 

    Oh, take me to my 
    kind 

    old 
    mother

    There let me 
    live 
    and die 

    One 
    little 
    hut among 
    the 
    bushes 
    One that 
    I love 

    Still sadly to my 
    mem'ry 
    rushes 

    Verse 5
    No matter 

    where I rove 

    Verse 6
    When 
    shall 
    I 
    see 
    the 
    bees 
    a 
    humming 

    All 
    round 
    the comb? 

    When 
    shall I 
    hear 
    the banjo 
    strumming 

    Down 
    in 
    my 
    good 
    old 

    home?

      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.
