    • Verse 1

    I truly 
    need, 

    a year down 
    in New Orleans, 

    The hum of 
    a southern 
    drawl 

    that 
    I 
    could understand 

    And 
    should you 
    meet, 

    my 
    sweetheart 
    in New Orleans 

    Kindly 
    pass my 
    heart into 
    the 
    safety 

    of his hands 

    Verse 2

    I 
    remember clover, 

    in the 
    fields south 
    of New Orleans 

    And we 
    ran so 
    blindly 
    through 
    the fields 

    of summer cane 

    Now when I'm 
    lonely, 

    I send my 
    heart down 
    to New 
    Orleans 

    To chase my 
    memories 

    alone down 
    through my 
    dreams 

    Verse 3
    How 
    I miss the clar
    ity 
    I 

    left there 
    in my 
    youth 

    Will 
    there be another 
    heart 

    who can en
    dure my 
    solitude? 

    His 
    roses 
    grow, 
    so 
    lovely 
    in New Orleans 

    Their petals 
    do recall 
    the 
    mys
    teries 

    in his eye
    s 

    Now, should you 
    go, 

    to 
    that garden 
    in New Orleans 

    Kindly 
    tend a 
    rose beside 
    his 
    heart for 
    me, 

    and 
    sigh

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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.
