    Verse 1
    was 
    born 
    by 
    river

    Rolling 
    past 
    town 

    Given 
    no 
    direc
    tion 

    Just 
    told 
    to keep 
    my 
    head 
    down 

    As 
    took 
    my 
    po
    si
    tion 

    A man 
    fired 
    gun

    was 
    so 
    steeped 
    in 
    tra
    dition 

    That I 
    could 
    not 
    run 


    was 
    raised 
    by 
    river

    Weaned 
    upon 
    the 
    sky 

    And 
    in 
    the mir
    ror 
    of 
    the wa
    ters 

    saw 
    my
    self 
    learn 
    to 
    cry 

    As 
    my 
    tears 
    hit 
    the 
    sur
    face 

    I saw 
    what 
    had 
    been 
    done 

    gave 
    feet 
    to 
    my 
    freedom 

    And 
    did 
    run


    Someday 
    later 

    saw 
    the 
    writing 
    in 
    the 
    dust 

    It 
    told 
    me 
    how 
    should 
    travel 

    It 
    told 
    me 
    who 
    was 


    ran 
    far 
    from 
    the 
    river 

    Far 
    as 
    could 
    see 

    And 
    as 
    the sun 
    hit 
    my 
    shoulders 

    felt 
    it 
    burning 
    me 

    How 
    longed 
    for 
    the 
    wa
    ters 

    As 
    the 
    fire 
    raged 

    How 
    longed 
    for 
    the 
    river 

    As 
    aged 


    will 
    die 
    by 
    river 

    As 
    it 
    rolls 
    away 

    Bury 
    me 
    in 
    the nighttime 

    Do 
    not 
    waste 
    the 
    day 

    High 
    above 
    the 
    water

    That 
    roll 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    sea 

    All 
    the 
    angels 
    in 
    heav
    en 

    Will 
    laugh 
    at 
    me 

    They 
    will 
    laugh 
    at 
    me 


    My 
    life 
    was 
    naught 
    but 

    a river 

    Rolling 
    through 
    my 
    brain 


    Made 
    of 
    so 
    many 
    teardrops 


    Made 
    of 
    so 
    much 
    pain

    • 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.
