    Verse 1
    Nineteen 
    scarlett 
    roses 
    the chaplin 
    spread 
    around|In the waters 
    of 
    Berard 
    Inlet 
    in old 
    Vancouver 
    town|When the bridge 
    came 
    tumbling 
    down|When the bridge 
    came 
    tumbling 
    down||Nineteen men 
    were drowned 
    in 
    June 
    of 
    1958|In old 
    Vancouver 
    town|There 
    were 
    seventy-nine 
    men 
    working|To build 
    this 
    brand 
    new 
    bridge|To span 
    the 
    second 
    and 
    narrows|And connect 
    up 
    with 
    the 
    ridge|Till a 
    big 
    wind 
    hit 
    the 
    bridge||And the 
    bridge 
    came 
    tumbling 
    down||And nineteen 
    men 
    were 
    drowned|The medical 
    corp 
    couldn't 
    be 
    too sure 
    of 
    the 
    rest 
    of 
    the men 
    they 
    found|In among 
    the 
    twisted 
    girders 
    one 
    man 
    realized|How last 
    night 
    he'd 
    been dreaming 
    and 
    saw 
    before 
    his 
    eyes|The big 
    wind 
    on 
    the 
    rise|And the bridge 
    came 
    tumbling 
    down|And n
    ineteen 
    steelmen drowned, 

    and he saw 
    the fright 
    of the 
    darkest 
    night|In old 
    Vancouver 
    town||With frogmen 
    in 
    the water 
    by 
    the 
    cutting 
    torches 
    glow|They fought 
    to save 
    the 
    steelmen|From certain 
    death 
    below 
    and 
    pain 
    we'll 
    never 
    know|When the bridge 
    came 
    tumbling 
    down|And nineteen 
    men 
    were drowned, 
    and 
    sixty 
    more 
    that 
    came 
    ashore|So thankful 
    they were 
    found||It often 
    makes 
    you 
    wonder|In strength 
    who 
    has 
    the 
    edge|The longest 
    steel 
    beam 
    structure|That spans 
    the 
    highest 
    ridge|For the 
    men 
    that 
    built 
    the 
    bridge|For the bridge 
    came 
    tumbling 
    down|And nineteen 
    men 
    were 
    drowned|But the 
    other 
    men 
    came 
    back 
    again|To lay 
    the new 
    beams 
    down||Now if 
    your 
    ever 
    crossing|This mighty 
    bridge 
    sublime|And nineteen 
    scarlett 
    roses 
    pass 
    before 
    your 
    mind|Remember and 
    be 
    kind|The bridge 
    came 
    tumbling 
    down|Ans
    d nineteen 
    men 
    were 
    drowned|So y
    ou could 
    ride 
    to the 
    other 
    side|Of old Vancouver 
    town||So y
    ou could 
    ride 
    to the 
    other 
    side|Of old 
    Vancouver town||

      "

      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.

      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.
