    Verse 1
    I've 

    traveled 
    all 
    over 
    this 
    country 

    Prospectin' 
    and 
    diggin' 
    for 
    gold. 

    I've 
    tunneled, 
    hydraulic- 
    ed, and 
    cradled, 

    And 
    I 
    have 
    been 
    fre
    quently 
    sold. 

    And 
    I 
    have 
    been 
    frequently 
    so- 
    o- 
    old, 

    And 
    I 
    have 
    been 
    frequently 
    sold. 

    I've 
    tunneled, 
    hydraulic- 
    ed, and 
    cradled, 

    and 
    I 
    have 
    been 
    frequently 

    sold. 

    Verse 2

    For 
    each 
    man 
    who 
    got 
    rich 
    by 
    mining, 


    Perceiving 
    that 
    hundreds 
    grew 
    poor, 

    I made 
    up 
    my 
    mind 
    to 
    try 
    farming: 

    The only 
    pur
    suit 
    that 
    was sure. 

    So 
    rollin' 
    my 
    grub 
    in 
    my 
    blanket 

    I 
    left 
    all 
    my 
    tools 
    on the 
    ground. 

    I star
    ted 
    one 
    mornin' 
    to shag 
    it 

    For 
    the country 
    they 
    call 
    Puget 
    Sound. 

    For 
    the country 
    they 
    call 

    Puget 
    So- 
    o- ound, 

    For 
    the 
    country 
    they 
    call 
    Puget 
    Sound. 

    I started 
    one 
    mornin' 
    to shag 
    it 

    For 
    the country 
    they 
    call 
    Puget 

    Sound. 

    Verse 3

    Ar
    riving 
    flat 
    broke 
    in 
    midwinter, 

    I 
    found 
    it 
    enveloped 
    with 
    fog 

    And 
    covered 
    all 
    over 
    with 
    timber, 

    Thick 
    as 
    hair 
    on 
    the 
    back 
    of a 
    dog. 

    As I 
    looked 
    at 
    the prospects 
    so 
    gloomy, 

    The 
    tears 
    trickled 
    over 
    my 
    face 

    And I 
    thought 
    that 
    my 
    travels 

    had 
    brought 
    me 

    To the 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    jumpin' 
    off 
    place. 

    To the 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    jumpin' 

    off 
    pla- a- ace, 

    To the 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    jumpin' 
    off 
    place. 

    I 
    thought 
    that 
    my 
    travels 
    had 
    brought 
    me 

    To 
    the end 
    of 
    the jumpin' 
    off 

    place. 

    Verse 4
    But 
    now 
    as 
    I 
    look 
    all 
    around 
    me, 

    Observing 
    the 
    world 
    and 
    its shells, 

    I 
    think 
    of 
    my 
    happy 
    condition, 

    Surrounded 
    by 
    acres 
    of 
    clams. 

    Surrounded 
    by 
    acres 
    of 
    cla- a- ams, 

    Sur
    rounded 
    by 
    acres 
    of 
    clams. 

    I 
    think 
    of 
    my 
    happy 
    condition, 

    Surrounded 
    by 
    acres 
    of 
    clams. 


    Sur
    rounded 
    by 
    acres 
    of 
    clams, 

    By 
    acres 
    of 
    clam
    s.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
