    Hi 

    Trader 

    Trader 
    sailed 
    jeweled 
    crown 

    Hu
    manity 
    rowed 
    the 
    way 

    Ex
    ploring 
    to 
    command 
    more 
    land 

    Schem
    ing 
    how 
    to 
    rule 

    the 
    waves. 

    Trader 
    spied 
    a virgin 
    plain 

    And 
    named 
    it 
    for 
    velvet 
    robes 

    Wrote 
    home 
    declaring, 

    "There's 
    a place 

    Where 
    totally 
    folks 
    are free 


    (Happily completely) 

    Nourishment 
    fills 
    the 
    prair

    ies 
    and 
    the 
    hillsides 

    And 
    animals 
    stalk 
    the 

    mountains 
    and 
    the seaside 

    And 
    fish 
    abound 
    the 
    lakes 

    and 
    birds 
    the skies 

    Signed 
    sincerely." 

    Verse 2
    Trader 
    found 
    the 
    jeweled 
    land 

    Was 
    occupied 
    before 
    he 
    came 

    By 
    humans 
    of 
    a second 
    look 

    Who 
    couldn't 
    even 
    write 
    their 

    names 
    shame 

    Trader 
    said 
    they're 
    not 
    as 
    good 

    As 
    folks 
    who 
    wear 
    velvet 
    robes 

    Wrote 
    home 
    again 
    and 
    asked, 

    "Please 
    help 

    Their 
    breasts 
    see; they're 

    not 
    like 
    me 

    Banish 
    them 
    from 
    our 
    prair

    ies 
    and 
    our 
    hillsides 

    Clear 
    them 
    from 
    our mountains 

    and 
    our 
    sea
    side 

    want 
    them 
    off 
    our 
    lakes 
    so 
    please 
    reply 

    Signed 
    sincerely." 

    Verse 3
    Trader 
    he 
    got 
    the 
    crown 
    okay 

    Cleared 
    hu
    manity 
    from 
    his 
    way 

    He 
    civilized 
    all 
    he 
    saw 

    Making 
    changes 
    every 
    single 
    day 
    say 

    Shops 
    sprang 
    over 
    the 
    prair

    ies 
    and 
    the 
    hillsides 

    Then 
    roads 
    cut 
    through 
    the 

    moun
    tains 
    to 
    the seaside 

    The 
    other 
    kind 
    fled 
    to 
    hide, 
    by 
    and 
    by, 

    And 
    so 
    sincerely 

    Cried. 

    Verse 4

    Making 
    it 
    softly 

    Like 
    the 
    evening 
    sea, 
    trying 
    to 
    be 

    Making 
    it

    Creating 
    it 
    gently 

    Like 
    a morning 
    breeze, 
    a life 
    of

    of

    • 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.
