  • Verse 1

    a.m. comes 
    awful 
    early, 

    and 
    I was 
    dead 
    on 
    my feet 

    But if you 
    gonna 
    catch 
    a biggest 
    fish 

    You 
    gotta 
    lose 
    a little 
    sleep 

    Well, I pack 
    my 
    gear 
    and a 

    couple 
    beers 

    I headed 
    for my 
    favorite 
    spot 

    Well, I curse 
    my 
    luck 
    when 
    I saw 
    his 

    truck 
    right 
    where 
    I pulled 
    off 

    Wish 
    open 
    to have 
    the 
    river 

    to myself 
    that 
    day 

    Verse 2
    'Cause 
    the river 
    don't 
    talk, 

    the 
    river 
    don't 
    care 

    Where you've 
    been, 
    what 
    you've done 

    Why 
    it is 
    your standin' 
    there 

    It just 
    flows 
    on 
    by 

    whisperin' 
    to 
    your 
    soul 

    It's 
    gonna 
    be 
    al
    right, 

    the 
    river 
    just 
    knows 

    Verse 3
    The 
    way 
    the sun 
    bounced 

    off 
    the water 

    I couldn't 
    wholely make 
    him out 

    But 
    I could 
    see 
    he 
    had a 
    fish 
    on 

    big 
    ole rainbow 
    trout 

    The 
    fight 
    went 
    on 
    forever 

    And as 
    he headed 
    down 
    my 
    way, 
    I saw 
    his 

    Military 
    hair 
    cut 
    and 
    the new 

    scars 
    on his 
    face 

    Right 
    then I 
    knew 
    what 

    brought 
    him 
    to 
    this 
    place 

    Verse 4
    You 
    know the 
    river 
    don't 
    talk, 

    the 
    river 
    don't 
    care 

    Where you've 
    been, 

    what 
    you've done 

    Don't know 
    why 
    it is 

    your standin' 
    there 

    It just 
    flows 
    on 
    by 

    whisperin' 
    to 
    your 
    soul 

    It's 
    gonna 
    be 
    al
    right, 

    the river 
    just 
    knows 

    Verse 5
    He 
    held that 
    fish 
    down 
    in 
    the water 

    And it 
    caused 
    to back 
    the 
    line 

    He 
    said 
    "Help, 

    you get 
    your wind 
    back 

    'Cause 
    you help 
    me 
    get 
    mine" 

    And all 
    could think 
    to say 

    was 
    "Welcome 
    home" 

    But I 
    think 
    that 
    river 
    said 

    it best 
    on 
    its 
    own 

    Verse 6
    'Cause 
    the river 
    don't 
    talk, 

    you know the 
    river 
    don't 
    care 

    Where you've 
    been, 

    what's 
    you've done 

    Why 
    it is 
    your standin' 
    there 

    It just 
    flows 
    on 
    by 

    whisperin' 
    to 
    your 
    soul 

    It's 
    gonna 
    be 
    al
    right, 

    the 
    river 
    just 
    knows 

    It's gonna 
    be 
    al
    right, 

    the 
    river 
    just 
    knows

    • 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.
