    • Verse 1
    My 
    little 
    boy 
    came 

    and 
    sat 
    on 
    my 
    knee 

    With 
    picture 
    and 
    crayons 
    in 
    his hand 

    He 
    said, 
    when I 
    grow 
    up 

    this 
    is 
    the man 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    be 

    Daddy, 
    what 
    color 
    is 
    a 
    man? 

    When 
    I'm 
    a 
    man, 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    be happy 

    I 
    want 
    to be 
    strong 
    and 
    free 

    I 
    want 
    to 
    be 
    brave 
    like 
    a 
    soldier 

    What 
    crayon 
    should 
    I use 
    to 

    color 
    me? 

    If 
    you 
    color 
    him 
    blue, 
    son, 

    he 
    may 
    not 
    be 
    a 
    happy 
    man. 

    If 
    you 
    color 
    him 
    red, 
    son, 

    someone 
    may 
    steal 
    his 
    land. 

    If 
    you col
    or him 
    green 
    or 
    yellow, 

    he 
    may 
    be 
    jealous 
    and 
    cowardly. 

    If 
    you 
    color 
    him 
    black, 
    son, 

    he 
    may 
    never 
    be 
    free. 

    Then 
    I 
    told 
    my 
    son, 
    your 
    crayons 
    away 

    And 
    try 
    your 
    best 
    to 
    under
    stand 

    Man 
    is 
    never 
    made 
    of 
    any 
    col
    or 

    And 
    color 
    never 
    made 
    any 
    man 

    A 
    man, 
    a 
    man, 
    man, 
    a 
    man 

    Color 
    never 
    made 
    any 
    man 

    A 
    man, 
    a 
    man

    • 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.”
