    I've 
    been 
    a gambler, 

    I've 
    been 
    a 
    rambler 
    I've 
    been called 
    a 
    low 
    -down roustabout 

    Been 
    a con
    vict man 
    down 
    in 

    Sugar 

    Land 

    An
    d I 
    know what 
    a chain 

    gang's 
    all about 

    Been 
    a 
    cotton picker 
    to 
    a 
    city slicker 

    From 

    East

    Texas 
    to 

    New 

    York 
    town 

    Been 
    to 

    Hollywood 
    doing 
    all 
    I 
    could 

    To 
    spread 
    the news 
    around 

    I've 
    been swimming 
    in 
    river 
    song
    s 

    And 
    I'm 
    here to 
    pass 
    them on 

    I've 
    been swimming 
    in 

    a 
    river of 
    songs 

    Ever 
    since I 
    was 
    born 

    I've 
    been 
    a rover, 
    I've 
    been 
    a chauffeur 

    But 
    truly, 
    me, 
    I'm a 
    troubadour 

    I 
    got 
    a chance 
    to 
    play 
    in 

    Par
    is, 

    France 

    And 
    I've seen 
    things 
    I've 

    never seen 
    before 

    Martha, 
    my bride, 
    right 
    by 
    my side 

    She 
    knows 
    my 
    mind 
    and 
    heals 
    my heart 

    My 
    loving 
    wife, 
    that 
    woman 
    is half 
    my life 

    The 
    other half 
    is my 
    guitar 


    I've 
    been swimming 
    in 

    a river 
    of 
    song
    s 

    And 
    I'm here 
    to 
    pass 
    them on 

    I've 
    been swimmin' 
    in 
    a 
    river of song
    s, 

    my 
    friend, 
    ever 
    since 
    I was 
    born 

    When 
    you're long 
    gone, 
    they'll sing 
    your songs, 

    gypsy woman 
    told 
    me 
    in nineteen 
    and 
    ten 

    You'll 
    be 
    a big name, 

    destined 
    for 
    fame 

    You'll 
    do 
    more living 
    than 
    ten 
    men 

    I've 
    been swimming 
    in 
    a 
    river 
    of songs 

    And 
    I'm here 
    to 
    pass them 
    on 

    I've 
    been swimmin' 
    in river 
    song
    s 

    Ever 
    since 
    I 
    was born 

    Ever 
    since 
    I was 
    born

      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.
