    Verse 1
    see 
    double 
    up 
    ahead 

    Where 
    the 
    riverboat 
    swayed 
    beneath 
    the 
    sun 

    Is 
    where 
    the 
    river 
    runs 
    red 

    Like 
    King 
    who 
    stalks 
    the 
    wings 

    and 
    shoots 
    dove 

    And 
    frees 
    an 
    eagle 
    in
    stead 

    Pre-chorus 1
    It's 
    more 
    or 
    less 
    the 
    same 

    as 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    you 
    said 


    Verse 2
    see 
    trouble 
    up 
    the 
    road 

    Like 
    the 
    things 
    you 
    found 
    in 
    love 

    are 
    by 
    the 
    way 

    And 
    like 
    to 
    cheat 
    on 
    your 
    soul 

    Like 
    the 
    best 
    and 
    worst 
    of 
    thoughts 

    that 
    lose 
    control 

    Before 
    you 
    lie 
    on 
    your 
    bed 

    Pre-chorus 2
    It's 
    more 
    or 
    less 
    the 
    same 

    as 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    you 
    said 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    anyway 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    things 

    you 
    know 

    Tell 
    me 
    why 
    does 
    the 
    river 
    not 
    flow 

    And 
    anyway 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    you 
    said 

    Tell 
    me 
    why 
    does 
    the 
    river 
    run 
    red 

    And 
    anyway 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    you've 
    seen 

    Tell 
    me 
    when 
    will 
    the 
    river 
    run 
    green 

    And 
    anyway 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    you 
    know 

    Tell 
    me 
    why 
    does 
    the 
    river 
    not 
    flow

    It's 
    more 
    or 
    less 
    the 
    things 

    you 
    fail 
    to 
    say 
    in 
    your 
    way 

    that's 
    your 
    trouble 

    Like 
    King 
    who 
    stalks 
    the 
    wings 

    and 
    shoots 
    the 
    moon 
    and 
    the 
    stars 

    And 
    his 
    double 

    Pre-chorus 3
    It's 
    more 
    or 
    less 
    the 
    same 

    as 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    you 
    said 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    anyway 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    things 

    you 
    know 

    Tell 
    me 
    why 
    does 
    the 
    river 
    not 
    flow 

    And 
    anyway 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    you 
    said 

    Tell 
    me 
    why 
    does 
    the 
    river 
    run 
    red 

    And 
    anyway 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    you've 
    seen 

    Tell 
    me 
    when 
    will 
    the 
    river 
    run 
    green 

    And 
    anyway 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    you 
    know 

    Tell 
    me 
    why 
    does 
    the 
    river 
    not

    Verse 4
    see 
    trouble 
    up 
    ahead 

    Where 
    the

    boat 
    swayed 
    beneath 
    the 
    sun 

    Is 
    where 
    the 
    river 
    runs 
    red 

    see 
    double, 

    that's 
    my 
    trouble

    • 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.
