  • Verse 1
    When 
    was 
    a boy, 
    had 
    a dream 

    All 
    about 
    the things 
    I'd 
    like 
    to be 

    Soon 
    as 
    was 
    in my 
    bed 

    Music 
    played 
    in
    side 
    my 
    head 

    When 
    I was 
    boy, 
    had 
    dream 

    Verse 2
    When 
    was 
    a boy, 
    learned 
    to play 

    Far 
    into 
    the night 
    and 
    drift 
    away 

    Don't 
    want 
    to work 
    on 

    the milk 
    or 
    the bread 

    Just 
    want 
    to play 
    my gui
    tar 
    instead

    I was 
    boy, 
    I had 
    dream 

    Verse 3
    And 
    ra
    dio 
    waves 
    kept 
    me 
    com
    pany 

    In 
    those 
    beau
    tiful 
    days 

    when 
    there 
    was 
    no

    I was 
    boy, 
    had a 
    dream 

    Verse 4
    When 
    was 
    a boy, 
    had 
    a dream 

    Finding 
    out 
    what 
    life 
    could 

    really 
    mean 

    Don't 
    want 
    a job 
    'cause 

    it drives 
    me crazy 

    Just 
    wanna 
    sing, 
    do you 
    love 
    me, 

    baby?

    • 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.
