    Verse 1
    You ran 
    up 
    against 
    the rain 

    Everyday 
    of your 
    short 
    life 

    Suffered 
    for 
    your muse 
    without 

    complain
    ing 

    Never 
    heard 
    you swear 
    life 
    isn't 
    fair 

    But it 
    doesn't 
    make 
    it right 

    You 
    left 
    the world 
    knowing 
    all 

    too 
    well 
    what pain 
    is. 

    Verse 2
    You took 
    it 
    on 
    yourself 

    to pave 
    the road 
    to hell 

    Paid 
    your dues 
    and 
    sang 
    the blues 

    Lord, 
    you 
    knew them 
    all 
    too 
    well 

    Every 
    word 
    upon 
    the page 

    You 
    let them 
    sail 
    away 

    The 
    wind 
    would blow, 

    and then 
    you'd 
    go 

    Up 
    against 
    the rain. 

    Verse 3

    You 
    listen 
    to 
    the songs 

    And then you 
    wrote 
    your own 

    Somewhere 
    along 
    the way 

    You passed 
    the muse 
    along 

    I feel your 
    presence 
    in 
    this room 

    Beneath 
    the wailing 
    moon 

    It's 
    good 
    to know 
    that dying 

    couldn't 
    tame 
    you 

    You 
    took it 
    on 
    yourself 
    to pave 
    Verse 4

    the road 
    to hell 

    Paid 
    your dues 
    and 
    sang 
    the blues 

    Lord, 
    you knew 
    them all 
    too 
    well 

    Every 
    word 
    upon 
    the page 

    You 
    let them 
    sail 
    away 

    The 
    wind 
    would blow, 

    and then 
    you'd 
    go 

    Up 
    against 
    the rain. 

    Verse 5

    Last 
    night 
    the weather 
    turned 

    This 
    morning 
    we 
    had 
    snow 

    Today 
    they'll 
    lay 
    you 
    in 

    the ground 

    Someday 
    we'll all 
    know 

    Where 
    it 
    is 
    we 
    go 

    My 
    tears 
    will say 
    goodbye 

    While the 
    rain 
    is 
    coming 
    down 

    Verse 6
    You 
    took it 
    on 
    yourself 

    to pave 
    the road 
    to hell 

    Paid 
    your dues 
    and sang 
    the blues 

    Lord, 
    you knew 
    them 
    all 
    too 
    well 

    Every 
    word 
    upon 
    the page 

    You 
    let them 
    sail 
    away 

    The 
    wind 
    would blow, 

    and 
    then 
    you'd 
    go 

    Up 
    against 
    the 
    rain.

      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.
