    Verse 1
    Farewell 
    to 
    the 
    lights 
    of 
    Mader
    a, 

    I'm 
    leaving 
    with 
    the 
    wind 
    at 
    my 
    back 

    Tell 
    all 
    of 
    my 
    friends 
    in 
    Dos 
    Palos, 

    I'm 
    gone 
    but 
    I'll 
    be 
    circling 
    back

    Now 
    I'm 
    crossing 
    the 
    Chowchili
    a River 

    By 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    a ragged 
    moon
    beam 

    Lord 
    I'll 
    miss 
    the 
    Rose 

    of San 
    Joa
    quin 

    Verse 2

    I'll 
    miss 
    the 
    sun 
    on 
    the 
    Sierra 
    Nevadas, 

    adobe 
    moon 
    on 
    the 
    rise 

    Shining 
    down 
    on 
    my 
    love 
    in 
    Mader
    a, 

    shining 
    into 
    her 
    dark 
    Spanish 
    eyes 

    Oh 
    she 
    taught 
    me 
    those 
    Mexican 

    love 
    songs 

    "Volver, Volver" in 
    my 
    dreams 

    And 
    I 
    miss 
    the 
    Rose 
    of San 
    Joa
    quin 

    Caught 
    somewhere 
    between 

    The 
    road 
    and 
    the 
    Rose 
    of San 
    Joa

    Interlude 1
    quin 


    Verse 3
    Oh her 
    black 
    hair 
    fell 
    on 
    the 
    blanket 

    in 
    the 
    tall 
    grass 
    we 
    with 
    the 
    dew 

    Making 
    love 
    through 
    the night 
    by 
    the 
    river

    Oh 
    Magdale
    ne 
    how 
    my 

    heart 
    cries 
    for you 

    Alone 
    on 
    this 
    highway 
    of 
    darkness 

    You 
    are 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    my 
    dreams 

    And 
    I 
    miss 
    the 
    Rose 
    of San 
    Joaquin 

    Caught 
    somewhere 
    between 

    The 
    road 
    and 
    the 
    Rose 
    of San

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
