    Verse 1
    Tell 
    St. 

    Peter 
    at 
    Africa's 
    Gate 

    I'm 
    coming 
    home, 
    though 
    I 
    may 
    be 
    late 

    Tell 
    them 
    it's 
    a 
    long, 
    long 
    haul 

    The 
    bottle 
    is 
    fixed, 

    but 
    I'm 
    standing 
    tall 

    Maybe 
    it's 
    why 
    I 
    took 
    so 
    long 

    And 
    he 
    don't 
    want 
    to 
    know 

    how 
    I'm 
    getting 
    along 

    Tell 
    him 
    that 
    I'm 
    doing 
    well, 

    it's 
    why 
    I'm 
    living 
    in 
    hell 

    I'm 
    a 
    true 
    -born 
    Afric
    an 

    Maybe 
    he 
    think 
    I'm 
    lost 
    in 
    a 
    foreign 
    land 

    And 
    cease 
    to 
    be 
    a 
    natural 
    African 

    Tell 
    him 
    that 
    I'm 
    doing 
    well 

    in 
    spite 
    of 
    living 
    in 
    hell 

    Tell 
    him 
    that 
    I'm 
    coming 

    home 
    to 
    hell 
    to 
    feel 
    my 
    own 

    I'm 
    a 
    true 
    -born 
    Afric
    an, 

    can't 
    you 
    see 
    that's 
    what 

    I 
    am 

    May
    be 
    it's 
    why 
    I 
    took 
    so 
    long 

    And 
    he 
    don't 
    want 
    to 
    know 

    how 
    I'm 
    along 

    Maybe 
    he 
    thinks 
    I'm 
    lost 

    in 
    a 
    foreign 
    land 

    And 
    cease 
    to 
    be 
    a 
    natural 
    african 

    Tell 
    him 
    that 
    I'm 
    doing 
    well 

    in 
    spite 
    I'm 
    living 
    in 
    hell 

    Tell 
    him 
    that 
    I'm 
    coming 
    home 

    to 
    hell 
    to 
    build 
    my 
    own 

    I'm 
    a 
    true 
    -born 
    Afric
    an, 

    Outro 1
    can't 
    you 
    see 
    that's 
    what 
    I 
    am?

      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.
