    Far 
    across 
    the

    Out 
    on 
    the 
    open 
    plain 

    In 
    an

    Oklahoma 
    cow 
    town 

    Where

    begins 
    to rain 

    In

    rundown 
    honky 
    -tonk

    and the 

    Dust 

    Bowl, 
    everybody 
    paid 
    the 
    cost 

    The 
    great 
    white 
    father 
    promised 
    to 

    treat 
    his chil
    dren 
    all 
    the same 

    when

    rolling 

    he 
    just 
    roam
    from 
    town 
    to town 

    It 
    ain't 
    easy 
    for 
    half 
    -breed 
    kid 

    to try 
    and 
    settle 
    down 

    Tumble
    weed 
    keeps 
    rolling 

    he 
    can't 
    find 
    no 
    place 
    to rest 

    because 
    the 
    desert 
    wind 
    blows 
    tumbleweed 

    the 
    spirit 
    of 
    the 
    west 

    guitar 
    so
    lo 

    His 
    boot 
    heels 
    tap in 
    time 

    to 
    an 
    old 
    flat 
    -top 
    box 
    guitar 

    He's 
    local 
    guitar 
    hero 

    And 
    he sing
    s straight 
    from 
    the heart 

    And 
    his tip 
    jar 
    is 
    just a 
    jumble 

    Verse 2
    Of 
    worn 
    -out dollar 
    bills 

    Verse 3
    As 
    he makes 
    his 
    bread 
    and grocery 

    Verse 4
    In the 
    local 
    bar 
    and 
    grill 

    Verse 5

    When 
    he starts 
    pickin' 
    that 
    old 
    guitar 

    Verse 6
    The 
    people 
    turn 
    and 
    stare 

    Verse 7
    And 
    he starts 
    singin' 
    them 

    songs 
    he wrote 

    Verse 8
    There's 
    magic 
    in 
    the 
    air 

    Verse 9
    But 
    he can 
    heal 
    your 
    wounded 
    heart 

    He 
    can set 
    your 
    spirit 
    free 

    He 
    can raise 
    your hopes 
    to be 

    The 
    very 
    best 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    be 

    The 
    tumbleweed 
    keeps 
    rollin' 

    He 
    just 
    roam
    s from 
    town 
    to town 

    It 
    ain't 
    easy 
    for 
    half 
    -breed 
    kid 

    To try 
    and 
    settle 
    down 

    The 
    tumbleweed 
    keeps 
    rollin' 

    He can't 
    find 
    no 
    place 
    to rest 

    Cause 
    the 
    desert 
    wind 
    blows 

    Tumbleweed 

    The 
    spirit 
    of 
    the 

    West 

    . . 

    So 
    when you 
    cross 
    the 

    Mississippi 

    And 
    you hit 
    the 
    open 
    plains 

    You 
    pass 
    through 

    Indian 
    territory 

    Where 
    the sky 
    begins 
    to rain 

    And 
    you're 
    feeling 
    kind 
    of rootless 

    And 
    you can't 
    find 
    no 
    place 
    to 
    nest 

    Just 
    remember 
    tumbleweed 

    The 
    spirit 
    of 
    the 

    West 

    Yeah, 
    the 
    desert 
    wind 

    blows 
    tumbleweed 

    The 
    spirit 
    of 
    the 

    West 

    Oh, 
    the 
    desert 
    wind 
    calls 
    tumbleweed 
    from 

    the 
    spirit 
    of 
    the 
    west.

    • 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.
