    I 
    need 
    to 
    go 
    down 
    and wash 
    my 
    Verse 1
    face 

    Deep 
    in 
    the 
    river 
    of my 
    old 
    home 
    place 

    I 
    need to 
    walk 
    in the 
    wa
    ters, 

    that 
    once 
    gave 
    me life 

    Go 
    over 
    and 
    walk the 
    old 
    railroad 
    tracks 

    See 
    if I can 
    follow 
    it 
    all the 
    way 
    back 

    Back 
    to where 
    my 
    vision 
    is 
    clear 

    Back 
    to the 
    days 
    of the 

    innocent 
    years 

    Verse 2
    Though I'd 
    trade 
    it 
    all 
    back 
    in 

    For just 
    one 
    day 
    like 
    it was 
    back 
    then 

    Back 
    be
    fore 
    just 
    living 

    my 
    life 
    got 
    in the 
    way 

    To 
    see my 
    face 
    at sixteen 
    again 

    When the 
    boy 
    down 
    the 
    street 

    was 
    my 
    best 
    friend 

    When 
    his smile 
    took 
    away 
    my 
    tears 

    Back 
    in the 
    days 
    of the 
    innocent 
    years 

    You 
    might grow 
    wiser 
    Verse 3
    every 
    day 

    But 
    there's 
    a price 
    you have 
    to pay 

    The 
    girl I 
    was 
    just 
    disap
    peared 

    I 
    left 
    her behind 
    in 
    the innocent 
    years 


    Verse 4

    Now 
    and 
    then 
    when the 
    sun 
    goes 
    down 

    I can 
    see the 
    moon 
    over 
    my 
    homet
    own 

    I can 
    almost 
    hear 
    the train 
    rush
    ing 
    by 

    I 
    close 
    my 
    eyes and 
    say 
    a prayer 

    To the 
    wide 
    eyed 
    girl 
    that I 

    lost 
    some
    where 

    Maybe 
    someday 
    she'll 
    find 
    me 
    here 

    And 
    lead 
    me back 
    to the 
    innocent 
    years 

    Verse 5
    You 
    might grow 
    wiser 
    every 
    day 

    But there's 
    a price 
    you have 
    to pay 

    Girl I 
    was 
    just 
    disap
    peared 

    Left 
    her behind 
    in the 

    innocent 
    years 

    Verse 6
    When I get 
    lost 
    along 
    the way 

    And I can't 
    see 
    the light 
    of day 

    I can 
    al
    most 
    feel 
    her 
    near 

    Calling 
    me 
    back 
    to the 
    innocent 
    years, 

    yeah, 
    yeah 

    The 
    inno
    cent 
    years, 

    woah, oh

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
