    Verse 1
    The 

    ladies 
    would put 
    the 
    basket
    s on 
    the table 

    And the men 
    would 
    sit 
    beneath 

    shady 
    tree 

    The children 
    would listen 

    to 
    fable 

    While 
    something 
    else 
    came 
    through 
    to 
    me 

    The 
    river 
    got 
    no 
    end, 

    just 
    roll 
    around 
    the 
    bend 

    Then 
    pretty 
    soon 
    the 
    wo

    men 
    would 
    all 
    join 
    in 

    On 
    the 
    river 
    hymn 

    Verse 2
    The 
    whole 
    congregation 
    was 

    standing 
    on 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the 
    river 

    We 
    are 
    gathered 
    here 
    to 
    give 

    little 
    thanks 
    thanks 

    The voice 
    of 
    the 
    rapids 
    will 
    echo 

    And 
    rico
    chet 
    like 
    an old 

    water 
    well 

    Who 
    ever 
    want 
    to let 
    go 

    Once 
    you sit 
    beneath 
    its 
    spell 

    It's 
    dark 
    and 
    wide 
    and 
    deep

    to
    wards 
    the 
    sea 
    it 
    creeps 

    I'm 
    so 
    glad 
    brought 

    along 
    my 
    man
    dolin 

    To 
    play 
    the 
    river 
    hymn 

    Verse 3

    You can 
    ride 
    on 
    it 
    or drink 
    it 

    Poison 
    it 
    or dam 
    it 

    Fish 
    in 
    it 
    and wash 
    in 
    it 

    Swim 
    in 
    it and 
    you can 
    die 
    in 
    it 

    Run, 
    you 
    river, 
    run 

    Son, 
    you 
    ain't 
    never 
    seen 
    yourself 

    Verse 4

    No 
    crystal 
    mir
    ror 
    can 
    show 
    it 
    clear, 

    come 
    over 
    here 
    instead 

    Son, 
    you 
    ain't 
    never 
    eased 

    yourself 

    'Til you 
    laid 
    it 
    down 
    in a 
    river 
    bed 

    If 
    you 
    hear 
    a lone
    some 
    drone, 

    it's 
    as 
    common 
    as 
    stone

    And 
    gets 
    louder 
    as 
    the 
    day 

    grows 
    dim 

    Verse 5
    That's 
    the 
    river 
    hymn 

    The 
    whole 
    congregation 
    was 

    standing 
    on 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the 
    river 

    We 
    are 
    gathered 
    here 
    to 
    give a 

    little 
    thanks 
    thanks

    • 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.
