    Verse 1
    All 
    that 
    I 
    have 
    is 
    a 
    river 

    The 
    river 
    is 
    always 
    my 
    home 

    Lord, 
    take 
    me 
    a
    way 

    For 
    I 
    just 
    cannot 
    stay 

    Or 
    I'll 
    sink 
    in 
    my 
    skin 
    and 
    my 
    bones 

    Chorus 1
    The 
    water 
    sus
    tains 
    me 
    with
    out 
    even 
    trying 

    The 
    water 
    can't 
    drown 
    me, 
    I'm 
    done 

    With 
    my 
    dy
    ing 


    Verse 2
    Please 
    help 
    me 
    build 
    a 
    small 
    boat 

    One 
    that'll 
    ride 
    on 
    the 
    flow 

    Where 
    the 
    river 
    runs 
    deep 

    And 
    the 
    larger 
    fish 
    creep 

    I'm 
    glad 
    of 
    what 
    keeps 
    me 
    a
    float 

    Chorus 2
    The 
    water 
    sus
    tains 
    me 
    with
    out 
    even 
    trying 

    The 
    water 
    can't 
    drown 
    me, 
    I'm 
    done 

    With 
    my 
    dy
    ing 


    Verse 3
    Now 
    deeper 
    the 
    water 
    I 
    sail 

    And 
    faster 
    the 
    current 
    I'm 
    in 

    That 
    each 
    night 
    brings 
    the 
    stars 

    And 
    the 
    song 
    in 
    my 
    heart 

    Is 
    a 
    tune 
    for 
    the 
    journeyman's 
    tale 

    Chorus 3
    The 
    water 
    sus
    tains 
    me 
    with
    out 
    even 
    trying 

    The 
    water 
    can't 
    drown 
    me, 
    I'm 
    done 

    With 
    my 
    dy
    ing 

    Bridge 1
    Now 
    the 
    land 
    that 
    I 
    knew 
    is 
    a 
    dream 

    And 
    the 
    line 
    on 
    the 
    distance 
    grows 
    faint 

    So 
    wide 
    is 
    my 
    river 

    The 
    horizon 
    a 
    sliver 

    The 
    artist 
    has 
    run 
    out 
    of 
    paint 


    Verse 4
    Where 
    the 
    blue 
    of 
    the 
    sea 
    meets 
    the 
    sky 

    And 
    the 
    big 
    yellow 
    sun 
    leads 
    me 
    home 

    I'm 
    everywhere 
    now 

    The 
    way 
    is 
    a 
    vow 

    To 
    the 
    wind 
    of 
    each 
    breath 
    by 
    and 
    by 

    Chorus 4
    The 
    water 
    sus
    tains 
    me 
    with
    out 
    even 
    trying 

    The 
    water 
    can't 
    drown 
    me, 
    I'm 
    done 

    With 
    my 
    dy-

      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.
