you know just what I'm here for

Cause you're scared

young anymore

Have a little faith,

there's magic in the night

This is your beauty, honey,
A

G
D
G
D

You can
D

hide beneath your covers
Bm

and cuddle your pain
D

Make crosses from your lavas,
G

throw roses in the rain
F#m

Wish your son would pray in a vein
G
Em

For a savior to arise from these streets
A
D

Well I'm not perfect,

that's understood

G

I'll tell you something in you,

Except roll down the windows

and let the wind blow back your hair

Well, your life's bursting open,

your beauty can't take us anywhere

We've got one last chance

To tread in these winds on what's real

Oh, Thunder Road,
G
A
D

sit tight tonight, Thunder Road
G

Well, I've got this guitar

and I've learned how to make it sing
Bm

And my call's out back
G
A

if you're ready to take this long walk
G

From your front porch to my front seat
A
F#m

The door's open but the
Bm

ride's not cheap
G
D

Hell, I know you're lonely for
Em

words I've not spoken
G
A

Tonight we'll be free,
Bm
A

our promise has been broken
D

There were ghosts in the eyes
G
D

of all the put -downs that you received
A
D

They haunt you still in the night,
F#m
G

but now is the time to let them roll away

Yes, they scream your name
A
G
A

at night on the streets

Congratulations boy,

So come over here

  • 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.
