    Verse 1
    And 
    here 
    I sit 
    with 
    tear 
    in 
    my 
    eye, 

    the water
    of Tyne 
    in 
    between 
    you and 

    And 
    here 
    I sit 
    with 
    tear in 
    my eye, 

    the wa
    ters 
    of Tyne 
    in 
    between 
    you and 

    As 
    a child 
    I dreamed 
    of 
    Verse 2
    her, 

    on 
    the 
    far 
    banks 
    of 
    the 
    river 

    knew she 
    could not 
    be 
    reached, 

    for my 
    mind was 
    forever 
    wondering 

    Far 
    above 
    his 
    head, 

    as he 
    tried 
    his best 
    to 
    teach 
    me 

    The 
    river 
    was muddy 
    and 
    black, 

    black as 
    the coal 
    she 
    car
    ried 

    Im
    possible 
    to 
    cross, 
    many 
    men 
    had 
    tried 

    The 
    old 
    sailor 
    told 
    me, 
    an
    other 
    life 
    is 
    lost 

    Verse 3
    And 
    here 
    I sit 
    with a 
    tear 
    in my 
    eye, 

    the water
    of Tyne 
    in between 
    you and 

    And here 
    I sit 
    with a 
    tear in 
    my 
    eye, 

    the waters 
    of 
    Tyne in 
    between you 
    and 

    Verse 4
    Black 
    was the colour of 
    my childish 
    dreams, 

    im
    pressions 
    that would 
    last 

    Black 
    coal, 
    coal 
    black 
    pit 
    yacka's face, 

    escaping 
    the 
    coal dust 
    blast 

    Blind pony stumblin' 
    to the light 
    of 
    day, 

    to re
    tire 
    in the green 
    fields forever 

    And I'll 
    build me 
    a bridge 
    of 
    steel, 

    to 
    beat the 
    black 
    river forever 

    I'll 
    beat that 
    black 
    river forever, 

    I'll 
    beat that 
    muddy river 
    forever

    Verse 5
    And 
    here 
    I sit 
    with 
    tear 
    in 
    my 
    eye, 

    the wa
    ters 
    of Tyne 
    in 
    between 
    you and 

    And here 
    I sit 
    with 
    tear 
    in my 
    eye

    the water
    of Tyne 
    in between 
    you 
    and 

    Verse 6

    Conversation in 
    a London 
    Bar: 

    Cockney: I don't know why you 
    geezers come down to London 
    all the time, 

    'cause you look 
    so miserable all 
    the time, 
    why'know. 

    Geordie: That's true, I 
    havna been 
    too happy 
    but what 
    brought us down here was three 
    years on the docks 

    and I just come down 
    here for 
    work and for 
    money 
    and 
    get a 
    bit few, 
    few more quid 
    in me pocket. 

    Cockney: Yeah, but 
    coming down to the smoke, 
    mate, you need people 
    to see 
    , you'll need 
    friends, to goin' to see 
    because it's 

    a hard town 
    down here.

    • 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.
