    Verse 1
    Wish 
    I 
    was 
    down 
    on 
    some 
    blue 
    bay
    ou 

    With 
    a 
    bamboo 
    cane 
    stuck 
    in 
    the 
    sand 

    But 
    the 
    road 
    I'm 
    on, 
    don't 
    seem 
    to 
    go 
    there 

    So 
    I 
    just 
    dream, 
    keep 
    on 
    being 
    the 
    way 
    I 
    am 

    Verse 2
    Wish 
    I 
    en
    joyed 
    what 
    makes 
    my 
    liv
    ing 

    Did 
    what 
    I 
    do 
    with 
    a 
    willin' 
    hand 

    Some 
    would 
    run, 
    but 
    that 
    ain't 
    like 
    me 

    So 
    I 
    just 
    dream 

    and 
    keep 
    on 
    bein' 
    the 
    way 
    I 
    am 

    Chorus 1
    The 
    way 
    I 
    am, 
    don't 
    fit 
    my 
    shackles 

    The 
    way 
    I 
    am, 
    reali
    ty 

    I 
    can 
    almost 
    see 
    that 
    bobber 
    danc
    in' 

    So 
    I 
    just 
    dream, 
    keep 
    on 
    being 
    the 
    way 
    I 
    am

    I 
    am, 
    don't 
    fit 
    my 
    shackles 

    The 
    way 
    I 
    am, 
    reali
    ty 

    I 
    can 
    almost 
    see 
    that 
    bobber 
    danc
    in' 

    But 
    I 
    just 
    dream, 
    keep 
    on 
    being 
    the 
    way 
    I 
    am 

    I 
    just 
    dream, 
    keep 
    on 
    bein' 
    the 
    way

    • 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.”
