    Uncle 
    Joe

    Verse 4
    America 

    You 
    can dream 
    or do 
    or say 

    what you 
    wanna 

    You can 
    run it 
    down 

    if you can 
    back 
    it up 

    You can 
    burn 
    the flag 
    or 
    be 
    the man 

    Who takes 
    a stand, 

    says 
    I'll be 
    damned 

    If some 
    bleedin' 
    heart 

    thinks 
    he 
    can tread 

    On the 
    thread 
    of the

    Now the 
    coffee 
    and 
    the 
    TV's on 

    And 
    we're 
    eating 
    the pie 

    handed 
    down 

    From my 
    grandma's 
    side 

    from 
    her grandma 

    When 
    she 
    arrived 
    back 
    in 
    '25 

    Verse 6
    She tells 
    us all 
    again 

    How 
    her 
    mom 
    came 
    off 
    of that 
    big 
    boat 

    With 
    all them 
    folks 
    all 
    skin 
    and bones 

    And 
    an 
    angry 
    mob 
    sayin' 
    go 
    back 
    home 

    Now the 
    Verse 7
    anchorman says 

    they're 
    making 
    plans 

    Fencing 
    up 
    the Rio 
    Grande 

    Aunt 
    Kitty 
    drops 
    her fork 

    and shouts 
    Amen 

    And 
    granny 
    says 
    hell 
    just 

    let 'em 
    all 
    in

    • 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.
