  • Verse 1
    It 
    was only 
    yester
    day 

    When 
    heard 
    the 
    teacher 
    say 

    Pa
    tiently, 
    one 
    and 
    two 
    make 
    three 

    We 
    were children, 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    Let 
    us 
    pray 
    for the 
    ones 
    they 
    call 

    The children 
    of 
    today 

    Verse 2

    Nothin' 
    left 
    but promises 

    Nothin' 
    much 
    is cer
    tain 

    All 
    we see 
    is 
    want 
    and 
    need 

    across 
    the board, 

    Why 
    thank 
    you 
    lord 

    We're 
    livin' 
    in 
    the glory 
    of 
    your care 

    Skies 
    of 
    blue 
    have 
    all 
    turned 
    brown 

    To 
    the sound 
    of 
    cryin 

    Lord 
    abide, 
    let 
    us stem 
    the tide 

    Of 
    broken 
    dreams 

    Some
    times 
    you seem 
    to tell 
    us 

    It's 
    too 
    late 
    for pray
    in' 

    Verse 3

    See 
    the 
    ocean 
    wild 
    and 
    blue 

    Think 
    of all 
    that's 
    in 
    her 

    She 
    will 
    not 
    sur
    render 
    to 
    the 
    likes 
    of 
    us, 

    But 
    then 
    she 
    must 

    They 
    tell 
    us, 
    wise 
    men 
    tell 
    us, 

    it's 
    too 
    late 

    For 
    each 
    child 
    with eyes 
    that 
    smile 

    There'll 
    be 
    ten 
    more 
    cryin' 

    Lord 
    abide, 
    let 
    us stem 
    the time 

    Of 
    helpless
    ness 

    But 
    then 
    I guess 
    we're 
    livin' 

    Is 
    it too 
    late 
    for pray
    in' 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    Nothin' 
    here 
    but 
    grains 
    of sand 

    Nothin' 
    much 
    worth 
    savin' 

    Guess 
    we've 
    all 
    got 
    prob
    lems 

    of 
    our own 
    to bear, 

    And still 
    we share 

    Tomor
    row 
    could 
    get 

    better 
    than 
    today 

    To 
    the 
    ones 
    who've 
    loved 
    in 
    vain 

    Will 
    ya 
    be 
    be
    holden 

    Lord 
    abide, 
    let 
    us stem 
    the tide 

    Of 
    broken 
    dreams 

    Some
    times 
    ya seem 
    to tell 
    us 

    It's 
    too 
    late 
    for pray
    in

    • 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.
