    (Gordon 
    Lightfoot) 
    He was 
    standing 
    Verse 1

    by 
    the 
    highway 

    With 
    a sign 
    that just 
    said 
    Mother 

    When 
    he 
    heard 
    a 
    driver 
    coming 

    About 
    a 
    half 
    a mile 
    away 

    So 
    he 
    held 
    the sign 
    up 
    higher 

    Where 
    no 
    decent 
    soul 
    could 
    miss 
    it 

    It 
    was 
    ten 
    degrees 
    or colder 

    Down

    He 
    was 
    just 
    a 
    road 
    musi
    cian 

    To 
    the 
    tav
    erns 
    he 
    would 
    go 

    Singing 
    songs 
    about 
    the ramblin' 

    The 
    lovin' 
    girls 
    and 
    gamblin' 

    How 
    the 
    world 
    fell 
    on 
    his 
    shoulders 

    Back 
    in 
    Boulder 
    I 
    don't 
    know 

    Verse 3
    Chorus 

    And

    told 
    him 
    she 
    would 
    take 
    him 

    For 
    a ride 
    in 
    the 
    morning 
    sun 

    Back 
    in 
    Boulder 
    he 
    had 
    told 
    her 

    I 
    don't 
    know

    I've 
    had 
    a 
    better 
    friend

    was 
    out 
    in 
    Arizon

    was 
    say
    ing 

    To 
    each 
    line 
    that 
    he 
    would 
    write 

    So 
    he 
    sat 
    down 
    at 
    her 
    table 

    And 
    they 
    talked 
    about 
    the 
    weather

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
