    Verse 1
    I was 
    born 
    on a 

    rock 
    in the 
    middle 
    of the 
    ocean 

    Where 
    the wind's 
    so 
    rough 
    it 

    can 
    carry 
    you 
    to London 

    It's 
    a new 
    found 
    land 

    with 
    an 
    old 
    soul 
    reach
    ing 

    For 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    day 

    Verse 2

    My parents 
    gave 
    me 
    a life 

    full 
    of 
    dream

    Yeah 
    they gave 
    me 
    a heart 
    to 

    endure 
    most 
    anything 

    But 
    every
    one 
    gets 
    a broken 
    pair 
    of 
    wings 

    And 
    if 
    you try 
    to fly 
    you'll 
    fail 

    But 
    a voice 
    said, 
    "Lift 
    up 
    your 
    head" 

    And 
    my 
    heart 
    burst 
    out 
    of 
    my 
    chest 

    Verse 3
    woke 
    up 
    in 
    America 

    for 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    God 

    woke 
    up 
    in 
    America 

    for something 
    bigger 
    than 
    myself 

    More 
    than 
    fire
    works 

    and 
    fanfare 

    More 
    than 
    a star- 
    spangled 
    banner 

    You're 
    still 
    beau
    tiful 

    America 

    Verse 4

    Yeah 
    it's 
    late 
    in 
    the 
    night 
    and 

    I look 
    in 
    the mir
    ror 

    Count 
    the lines 
    on 
    my face 
    and 

    wonder 
    how 
    they 
    got 
    there 

    Oh 
    but 
    every 
    one's 
    a story 

    of 
    how 
    grace 
    appeared 

    And carried 
    me 
    through 
    the 
    day 

    And 
    the voice 
    said, 

    "This 
    land 
    ain't 
    dead" 

    You 
    still 
    got 
    better 
    days 
    up 
    ahead 

    Verse 5
    woke 
    up 
    in 
    America 

    for 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    God 

    woke 
    up 
    in 
    America 

    for something 
    bigger 
    than 
    myself 

    More 
    than 
    fire
    works 
    and 
    fanfare 

    More 
    than 
    a star- 
    spangled 
    banner 

    You're 
    still 
    beau
    tiful 
    America 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    I've seen 
    the 
    hori
    zon 

    ablaze 
    in 
    Arizona 

    Shoreline 
    shoutin' 
    over 
    California 

    Moonlight 
    dancin' 
    over 
    the 
    Dakotas 

    It 
    breaks 
    your 
    heart, 
    it's 
    so 
    beau
    tiful 

    Lady 
    liberty, 
    she 
    leaves 
    the 
    light 
    on 

    From 
    the 
    west 
    side 
    all 
    the 

    way 
    to 
    Long 
    Island 

    Carolina 
    Coast 
    to 
    the 

    Rocky 
    Mountains 

    The sun 
    is shining 
    over 
    me 

    Verse 7
    woke 
    up 
    in 
    America 
    for 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    God 

    woke 
    up 
    in 
    America 

    For something 
    bigger 
    than 
    myself 

    More 
    than 
    wealth 
    or 
    depression 

    More 
    than 
    red 
    or blue 
    nation 

    Here 
    in 
    our 
    hells 
    and 

    our 
    heaven 

    Verse 8
    You're 
    still 
    beau
    tiful 
    America 

    You're 
    beautiful 
    America

    • 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.
