    Verse 1
    stood and 

    looked 
    across 
    the 
    water 

    I had 
    to get 
    to 
    the 
    oth
    er 
    side 

    Because 
    knew 
    that you'd be 

    waitin' 

    I didn't 
    want 
    to 
    take 
    the 

    long 
    way 
    ‘round. 

    The captain 
    said 
    the 
    ship 
    was 
    Verse 2

    leavin' 

    And that 
    we'd bet
    ter 
    get 
    on 
    board 

    settled 
    down 
    to 
    watch 

    the sun
    rise 

    And wondered 
    if 
    I'd see the 

    sun 
    go 
    down. 

    The sea 
    was 
    rough 
    and the wind 
    was 
    Verse 3

    howlin' 

    But 
    was laugh
    ing 
    all 
    the 
    way 

    I didn't 
    care 
    about 
    the weather 

    Because 
    knew that 

    you'd be 
    waitin' 

    I didn't 
    want 
    to 
    take 
    the 
    long 

    way 
    ‘round 

    Then a stranger 
    sat 
    be
    Verse 4
    side 
    me 

    It was 
    my 
    brother 
    in 
    dis
    guise 

    He said 
    he knew 
    where 

    I was 
    goin' 

    He asked 
    me why 
    took 
    the 
    long 
    way 


    ‘round. 

    The sea 
    was 
    rough and 
    the wind 
    was 
    howlin' 
    Verse 5


    But 
    was laugh
    ing 
    all 
    the way 

    I didn't 
    listen 
    to 
    the stranger 

    Because 
    knew that 
    you'd be 
    waitin' 

    I didn't 
    want 
    to 
    take 

    the 
    long 
    way 
    ‘round 

    Verse 6
    At 
    last, 
    came 
    to 
    my 
    destin

    ation 

    The stranger 
    turned 
    and 
    walked 
    away 

    He 
    didn't 
    know 
    where 

    he 
    was 
    goin' 

    He said 
    he 
    had 
    to 
    take 
    the 

    long 
    way 
    ‘round. 

    Verse 7
    I stood 
    and 
    looked 
    across 
    the water 

    thought 
    of 
    what 
    I'd 
    left 
    behind 

    Because 
    knew 
    that 
    you'd 
    be 
    waitin' 

    didn't 
    want 
    to 
    take 
    the 
    long 

    way 
    ‘round. 

    Verse 8
    Because 
    knew 
    that 
    you'd 
    be 
    waitin' 

    didn't 
    want 
    to 
    take 
    the 
    long 
    way ‘round.

    • 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.
