  • Verse 1
    When 
    woke 
    this 
    mornin', 

    something 
    inside 
    of me 

    Verse 2
    Told 
    me this 
    would be 
    my 
    day 

    Verse 3
    heard 
    the mornin' 
    train, 

    I felt 
    the wind 
    change 

    Too many 
    times 
    I'm 
    on my 
    way 

    Verse 4
    Come 
    on 
    sunshine, 
    what 
    can 
    you show 
    me 

    Where 
    can 
    you take 
    Verse 5
    me 
    to 

    make 
    me 
    under
    stand 

    The wind 
    can 
    Verse 6
    shake 
    me, 

    brothers, 
    for
    sake 
    me 

    The rain 
    can 
    Verse 7
    touch 
    me 
    but 

    can 
    touch 
    the rain 


    Verse 8
    Then 
    I saw 
    the sunrise 

    above 
    the 
    cotton 
    sky 

    Verse 9
    Like 
    a candy 
    cane 
    delight 


    I saw 
    the milkman, 
    I saw 
    the business 
    man 

    Verse 10
    I saw 
    the 
    only 
    road 
    in 
    sight 

    Verse 11
    Then I 
    got 
    to thinkin' 

    what makes 
    you want 
    to go 

    To know 
    the wherefore 
    and 
    the why 

    Verse 12
    So 
    many 
    times 
    now, 
    oh Lord, 

    I can't 
    remember 

    If it's 
    September 
    or 
    July 

    Verse 13
    Come 
    on 
    sunshine, 
    what 
    can 
    you show 
    me 

    Where 
    can 
    you take 
    Verse 14
    me 
    to 

    make 
    me 
    under
    stand 

    The wind 
    can shake 
    Verse 15
    me, 

    brothers, 
    for
    sake 
    me 

    The rain 
    can 
    Verse 16
    touch 
    me 
    but 
    can 
    touch 

    Interlude 1
    the rain 



    Verse 17
    Then 
    all 
    at once 
    it came 
    to 
    me, 

    I saw 
    the wherefore 

    Verse 18
    And you 
    can see 
    it 
    if 
    you try 


    It's 
    in 
    the sun 
    above, 

    it's 
    in 
    the one 
    you 
    love 

    You'll 
    never 
    know 
    the reason 
    why 

    Verse 19
    Come 
    on 
    sunshine, 
    what 
    can 
    you show 
    me 

    Where 
    can 
    you take 
    Verse 20
    me 

    to 
    make 
    me 
    understand 

    Verse 21
    The wind 
    can 
    shake 
    me, 

    brothers, 
    for
    sake 
    me 

    The rain 
    can 
    Verse 22
    touch 
    me 
    but 

    can 
    touch 
    the rain 

    Verse 23
    So 
    much 
    to lose, 

    so much 
    to gain

    • 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.
