    • Verse 1
    When Stephen 
    Foster 
    died 
    in 

    a 
    flop- 
    house 
    on 
    the 
    Bowery 

    His 
    worn- 
    out 
    wallet 
    held 
    just 

    a 
    quarter 
    and 
    a dime 

    But the 
    crocodiles, 
    they 
    have 
    to 
    eat, 

    the 
    crocodiles 
    have 
    to 
    eat 

    Verse 2
    He smashed 
    his 
    head 
    on 
    the sink 

    in the 
    bitter 
    fever 
    of 
    gin 

    A 
    wildebeest 
    gone 
    crazy 
    with 
    thirst 

    pulled 
    down 
    as he tried 
    to 
    drink 

    But 
    deep 
    down 
    in the 
    muddy 
    stream 

    even 
    crocodiles 
    dream 
    their 
    dreams 

    Verse 3
    And 
    as 
    the her
    d 
    galloped 
    off 
    he 
    lay 

    on 
    that 
    flophouse floor 

    Singing, 
    "Beautiful 
    Dreamer" 
    as 

    the 
    lions 
    began 
    to 
    roar 

    But we 
    all 
    have our 
    beautiful 
    dreams 
    running 
    through 
    us 

    like 
    wildebeest 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    And 
    when 
    we 
    meet 
    at 
    the 
    river 
    to 

    cross 
    to that 
    gleaming 
    shore 

    The 
    river, 
    she 
    always 
    takes 
    a few 

    as the 
    herd 
    thunders 
    across 

    But the 
    river 
    has 
    oceans 
    to feed, 

    she 
    has 
    beautiful 
    oceans 
    to feed 

    Verse 5

    And 
    the oceans, 
    they 
    feed 
    the 
    sky 

    and the 
    sky 
    feeds 
    the earth 

    And Stephen 
    Foster's 
    beautiful 
    ghost 

    lay 
    down 
    to feed 
    a song 

    To feed 
    ten 
    thou
    sand songs 

    echoing 
    cross 
    the 
    wild 
    plains

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
