    • Verse 1
    Some 
    place 

    far 
    in 
    back 
    of 
    you, 

    you may 
    have 
    known 

    some
    body 
    who 
    looked 
    under 

    what 
    you 
    tried 
    to be 

    And 
    never 
    let 
    you 
    know 
    that 
    she 
    could 
    see 

    that 
    your 
    ideals 
    would 

    only 
    last 
    a 
    little 
    while 

    Like 
    West 
    Virginia, 

    summer's 
    child 

    The 
    times 
    are 
    gone 
    that 
    brought 
    the 
    girl 

    Who 
    watched 
    me 
    try 

    to 
    change 
    the 
    world 

    When 
    I 
    believed 
    I'd 
    write 
    the 
    song 

    To 
    point 
    to 
    road 
    to 
    right 
    and 
    wrong 

    Si
    lently 
    she 
    watched 
    me 
    try 

    To 
    put 
    the 
    world 
    on 
    trial 

    West 
    Virginia, 
    summer's 
    child 

    The 
    night 
    before 
    I 
    had 
    to 
    leave 

    When 
    Denver 
    winter 
    stripped 
    the 
    trees 

    I 
    cried 
    all 
    night 
    against 

    a 
    night
    gown 
    sleeve 

    I 
    only 
    hope 
    that 
    she believes 

    I 
    know 
    what 
    I 
    was 
    leaving 


    When 
    I 
    refuse 
    to 
    turn 
    my 
    eyes 

    from 
    all 
    my 
    shabby 
    alibis 

    And 
    think 
    I'm 
    more 
    than 
    what 
    I 
    am 

    I 
    hope 
    she 
    knows 

    I'm 
    glad 
    I 
    can 
    sur
    render 

    To 
    the 
    memory 
    of 
    the 

    understanding 
    smile 

    Of 
    West 
    Virginia 
    Sum

    mer's 
    Child 

    West 
    Virginia 
    Sum
    mer's 
    Child

      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.
