    Verse 1
    left 
    the four 
    lane 

    highway 
    took 
    blacktop seven 
    miles 

    Down 
    by 
    the 
    old 
    country 

    school 
    went 
    to 
    as 
    a child 

    Two 
    miles 
    down 
    gravel 
    road 

    could 
    see 
    the 
    proud 
    old 
    home 

    tribute 
    to 
    way 
    of life 
    that's 

    al
    most 
    come 
    and 
    gone 

    The 
    roots 
    of 
    my 
    rasing run 
    deep 
    come 

    back 
    for 
    the 
    strength 
    that 
    need 

    And 
    hope 
    comes 
    no 
    matter 
    how 
    far 
    down 

    sink 
    the 
    roots 
    of 
    my 
    raising 
    run 
    deep 

    Verse 2

    pulled 
    into 
    the 
    driveway 
    Lord 

    it sure 
    was 
    good 
    to be 
    there 

    And 
    I could 
    see 
    that 
    dad 
    was 

    asleep 
    in 
    his favorite 
    chair 

    In his 
    hand 
    was 
    a picture 
    of 
    mom 
    and I 
    re

    membered 
    how 
    close 
    they 
    were 

    So 
    I just 
    turned 
    away 
    I didn't 
    want 

    to wake 
    him 
    spoil 
    his 
    dreams 
    of 
    her 

    Verse 3

    christian 
    mom 
    who 
    had 
    the 
    strength 

    for 
    life 
    the way 
    she 
    did 

    Then 
    to pull 
    that 
    apron 
    off 
    and 
    do 

    the Char
    leston 
    for 
    us 
    kids 

    Dad 
    quiet 
    man 
    who's 
    gentle 

    voice 
    was seldom 
    heard 

    Who 
    could borrow 
    money 
    at 
    the 

    bank 
    simply 
    on 
    his 
    word 

    The 
    roots 
    of 
    my 
    rais
    in' 
    run 
    deep 

    come 
    back 
    for 
    the 
    strength 
    that 
    need 

    And 
    hope 
    comes 
    no 
    matter 
    how 
    far 
    down 

    sink 
    the 
    roots 
    of 
    my 
    raising 
    run 
    deep 

    The 
    roots 
    of 
    my 
    raising 
    run 
    deep

    • 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.
