    Verse 1
    I'm 
    so full 
    of love, 

    yet 
    I'm 
    sad 
    everyday. 

    How 
    can 
    we 
    keep 
    on 
    living 
    this 
    way? 

    Now 
    we 
    are in 
    a war, 

    people 
    are 
    dying 
    everyday. 

    With 
    little love, 
    it 
    will all 
    fade away. 

    Can 
    we 
    all 
    be 
    happy 
    the 

    way 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be? 

    Love 
    one 
    another 
    and 
    let 

    this world 
    be free. 

    Hippies 
    in 
    the streets, 

    they're 
    learning 
    how 
    to roam. 

    And 
    the black 
    folks 
    in 
    the 
    ghetto, 

    they're 
    even 
    burning 
    their 
    homes. 

    But they're 
    trying 
    to 
    get a message 

    for 
    the 
    whole 
    world 
    to see. 

    How 
    happy 
    we 
    all 
    could 

    be 
    if 
    we all 
    were 
    free 

    So 
    why 
    can't 
    we 
    be happy 

    the 
    way 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    Love 
    one 
    another 
    and 
    let 

    this world 
    be 
    free 

    People 
    are 
    hatin' 
    more 
    and 

    more 
    every 
    day 

    Understandin' 
    is 
    slowly 

    gettin' 
    further 
    away 

    Now 
    what's 
    gonna happen 
    when 

    it 
    all 
    comes 
    to a 
    head 

    There'll 
    be 
    no 
    world 
    to 
    live in, 

    cause 
    we'll 
    all 
    be 
    dead. 

    So 
    why 
    can't 
    we 
    be 
    happy 

    the 
    way 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be? 

    Love 
    one 
    another 
    and 
    let 

    this world 
    be 
    free. 

    Why, 
    why 

    Why? 

    Why? 

    Why? 

    Why? 

    Why? 

    Ooh

    Verse 2
    Want 
    to be 
    happy, 
    happy, 

    want 
    to be 
    happy, 
    happy. 

    Why 
    can't 
    we 
    be happy 

    the 
    way 
    it 
    used 
    to be? 

    Love 
    one 
    another, 
    let 
    this 
    world 
    be free. 

    can't 
    be 
    happy 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    used 
    to be 

    Love 
    one 
    an
    other, 

    let 
    this 
    world 
    be 
    free 


    can't 
    be 
    happy 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    Love 
    one 
    another, 
    let this 
    world 
    breathe 

    Why 
    can't 
    we 
    be happy 

    the 
    way 
    it 
    used 
    to be? 

    Love 
    one 
    another, 
    let 
    this 
    world 
    breathe 

    Why 
    can't 
    we 
    be 
    happy 

    the 
    way 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be? 

    Love 
    one 
    another, 
    let 
    this 
    world 
    breathe 

    Why 
    can't 
    we 
    be 
    happy 

    the 
    way 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be? 

    Love 
    one 
    another, 
    let this 
    world 
    breathe

    • 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.
