    Verse 1
    Oh 
    this 
    man 

    he wakes 
    up in 
    the morning, 
    don't 
    know where 

    His eyes 
    do squint, 
    the 
    sun 
    does glare 

    Stands 
    up 
    yawns, 
    does 
    stretch 
    his 
    limbs 

    Turns 
    his face 
    to 
    the sun 

    and begins 
    to sing 

    Verse 2
    Seen 
    many 
    places, 

    done 
    many 
    things 

    I've been 
    drinking 
    from 
    the earth, 

    i've see 
    the world 
    from 
    with
    in 

    Had my 
    share 
    of women 
    and 
    I've 

    had my 
    share 
    of fights 

    I've been 
    searching 
    for 
    the moon, 

    Verse 3
    i've seen 
    some long 
    long 
    nights 

    Shook too 
    many 
    hands 
    and 

    made too 
    many 
    bets 

    My 
    friends 
    are all 
    gypsies, 

    and I laughed 
    before 
    I wept 

    I learnt 
    how to 
    live 
    when 
    saw 
    that sunrise 

    And 
    now 
    I sing this 
    song 
    about 

    Verse 4
    looking 
    on my 
    life 

    Some 
    say you 
    should try 
    to 
    be 
    rich 
    man 

    Some 
    they 
    say 
    you should 

    be number 
    one 

    But my 
    wealth 
    will 
    be 
    in
    side 

    And will 
    grow 
    under 
    the 
    sun

    Verse 5
    Some 
    say you 
    should 
    try to 
    be rich 
    man 

    Some 
    they 
    say 
    you should 

    be number 
    one 

    But my 
    wealth 
    will 
    be 
    in
    side 

    And will

    under 
    the 
    sun 

    Verse 6
    After 
    hearing 
    this 
    song 

    I feel some 
    warmth 
    on 
    my face 

    look 
    into the sky, 

    and start 
    to 
    feel 
    a sense 
    of place 

    This mans 
    song 
    means 
    something 
    to 
    me 

    My 
    eyes 
    they do 
    open, 

    and 
    sing this 
    melody 

    Verse 7
    Might 
    write some 
    mystery, 

    might 
    read some 
    text 

    Might create 
    a family, 

    this 
    world 
    I might 
    affect 

    Might 
    be a 
    wise 
    man, 
    might 
    be 
    a fool 

    Be 
    con
    quering 
    like 
    a tiger 

    Verse 8
    or 
    suffer 
    like 
    a mule 

    Might 
    learn too 
    late, 

    but might 
    drift 
    in 
    sleep 

    Might 
    learn 
    how to 
    hide my 
    thoughts 

    and promises 
    to keep 

    All these 
    things 
    my 
    life 
    might 
    see 

    And 
    now 
    I be 
    singing 
    about how 

    Verse 9
    my 
    life might 
    be 
    and 

    Some 
    say 
    you should 
    try 
    to be 
    rich 
    man 

    Some 
    they 
    say you 
    should be 
    number 
    one 

    But 
    my 
    wealth 
    will 
    be 
    in
    side 

    And will 
    grow 
    under 
    the

    rich 
    man 

    Some

    say you 
    should be 
    number 
    one 

    But 
    my 
    wealth 
    will 
    be 
    in
    side 

    And will 
    grow 
    under 
    the

    • 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.
