    Verse 1
    Once 
    was 
    a kingdom, 
    far 
    far 
    away. 

    Love 
    was the 
    rule 
    of 

    the day. 

    Nothing 
    more 
    nothing 
    less 

    Than to 
    give 
    your 
    friend 

    your 
    best. 

    There's much 
    more 
    story 

    that I 
    could 
    tell 

    To make 
    the 
    hardest 
    hearts 
    swell. 

    Verse 2
    This 
    is 
    the story 

    when love 
    was 
    king. 

    Verse 3

    When 
    love 
    was 
    king, 

    do 
    you 
    remember? 

    When 
    love 
    was 
    king, 
    when 
    love 
    was king 

    remember 
    when 

    love 
    was king 

    Verse 4

    He 
    ruled 
    the land, 

    with his 
    fist 
    un
    furled 

    With open 
    arms 
    for 
    the 
    world 

    Of 
    hungry 
    children, 

    first 
    he'd 
    think 

    To pull 
    their lives 
    from 
    the 
    brink 

    When 
    love was 
    king 

    He 
    rescued 
    souls 
    lost 
    in 
    the sea 

    In 
    drifting 
    vessel 
    he would 

    hear 
    their 
    plea 

    When 
    love 
    was 
    king 

    He 
    threw a 
    line 
    before 
    they'd 
    sink 

    And 
    gave 
    the thirsty 

    ones 
    a drink 

    Verse 5

    He told 
    the meek 
    that they 

    should 
    try 

    To use 
    the sword 
    to 

    smite 
    the lie 

    That being 
    king 
    is 
    for the 

    weak

    When love 
    was 
    king 

    pray 
    the lord 
    these 
    words 
    we seek 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 6
    When 
    love 
    was 
    king 

    He showed 
    respect 
    for 

    every 
    man 

    Regard
    less 
    of 
    their skin 
    or clan 

    Beside 
    him 
    stood 
    his 

    mighty 
    queen 

    and 
    equal 
    force 
    wise 
    and 
    keen 

    He 
    lifted 
    up 
    the 
    un

    der
    neath 

    And all 
    his 
    wealth 
    he 
    did 
    bequeath 

    To 
    those 
    who 
    toiled 
    with out 
    a gain 

    SO 
    they 
    would remember 

    his 
    reign 

    Verse 7

    So 
    seek 
    someplace 
    to call 

    your 
    own 

    Right 
    next 
    to 
    this 
    mighty 
    shinning 
    throne 

    When 
    love 
    was 
    king 

    Outro 1
    When 
    love 
    was 
    king

    • 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.
