    • Verse 1
    On 
    a 
    hill 
    far 
    away 

    stood 
    an 
    old 
    rugged 
    cross 

    The 
    em
    blem 
    of 
    suffering and 
    shame 

    And 
    I 
    love 
    that old 
    cross 
    where 
    the 
    dearest 
    and 

    best 
    for 
    a 
    world 
    of 
    lost 
    sinners 
    was 
    slain. 

    So 
    I'll 
    cherish 
    the 
    old 

    London 

    Cross 

    Till 
    my 
    trophies 
    at last 
    I 
    lay 
    down 

    To 
    the 
    old rugged 
    cross, 

    and ex
    change 
    it 
    someday 
    for 
    a 
    crown. 

    To 
    the old 
    rugged cross, 

    I will 
    ever 
    be true. 

    It's 
    shame 
    and 
    reproach 
    gladly 
    bear, 

    Then 
    he'll 
    call 
    me 
    someday 

    to 
    my 
    home 
    far away, 

    Where 
    his glory 
    forever 
    I'll 
    share. 

    So 
    I'll 
    cher
    ish 
    the 
    arms 
    of 
    the 

    Armored 

    Cross 

    Till 
    they're 
    trophies 
    at 
    last 
    I 
    lay 
    down 

    I 
    will 
    cling 
    to the 
    old 
    love, 

    the 
    old 
    rugged 
    cross, 

    and 
    ex
    change 
    it 
    someday 
    for 
    a 

    crown. 

    you

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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.
