  • Verse 1
    Go 
    first 
    in 
    the world, 

    go 
    forth 
    with 
    your fears 

    Re
    member 
    a price 
    must 
    be paid 

    Be 
    always 
    too soon, 
    be 
    never 
    too 
    fast 

    At the 
    time 
    when all 
    bets 
    must 
    be laid 

    Be
    ware 
    of 
    the darkness, 

    be kind 
    to your 
    children 

    Re
    member 
    the 
    woman 
    who 
    waits 

    And the 
    house 
    you 
    live 
    in 
    will 
    never 
    fall 
    down 

    If 
    you 
    pity 
    the stranger 
    who stand

    s at 
    your 
    gate 

    Verse 2

    When you're 
    caught 
    by 
    the gale 

    and you're 
    full 
    under 
    sail 

    Beware 
    of 
    the dangers 
    be
    low 

    And the 
    song 
    that 
    you sing 

    should not 
    be too 
    sad 

    And be 
    sure 
    not 
    to 
    sing 
    it 
    too 
    slow 

    Be calm 
    in 
    the face 
    of all 

    common 
    disgraces 

    And know 
    what 
    they're 
    doin' 
    it for 

    And the 
    house 
    you 
    live 
    in 
    will 
    never 
    fall 
    down 

    If 
    you 
    pity 
    the stranger 
    who stand

    s at 
    your 
    door 

    Verse 3

    When you're 
    out 
    on 
    the road 

    and 
    feelin' 
    quite 
    lost 

    Consider 
    the burden 
    of 
    fame 

    And 
    he 
    who is 
    wise 
    will not 
    criticize 

    When 
    other 
    men 
    fail 
    at 
    the 
    game 

    Be
    ware 
    of strange 
    faces 

    and dark 
    dingy 
    places 

    Be careful 
    while 
    bending 
    the law 

    And the 
    house 
    you 
    live 
    in 

    will 
    never 
    fall 
    down 

    If you 
    pity 
    the stranger 
    who stand
    s at 

    your 
    door 

    Verse 4

    When 
    you're 
    down 
    in 
    the dumps 

    and not 
    ready 
    to deal 

    Decide 
    what 
    it 
    is 
    that 
    you need 

    Is it 
    money 
    or love, 
    is it 
    learnin' 
    to live 

    Or 
    is 
    it 
    the mouth 
    you must 
    feed 

    Be known 
    as 
    a man 
    who 

    will al
    ways 
    be candid 

    On 
    questions 
    that 
    do not 
    re
    late 

    And the 
    house 
    you 
    live 
    in 

    will 
    never 
    fall 
    down 

    If you 
    pity 
    the stranger 
    who 

    stands 
    at 
    your 
    gate 

    And the 
    house 
    you 
    live 
    in 

    will 
    never 
    fall 
    down 

    If you 
    pity 
    the stranger 

    who stand
    s at 
    your 
    gate

    • 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.
