    Verse 1
    My 

    leader 
    told 
    me 
    to 
    jump 
    in 
    the river 

    The 
    river 
    was 
    deep 
    and 
    the 

    weather 
    was 
    winter 

    After 
    a sailer 
    very 
    kindly 
    saved

    you'd 
    better 
    take 
    it easy

    Everything 
    was getting 
    hazy 

    Friends 
    looked 
    at

    Nev
    er 
    mind the 
    fools 
    who know 

    what 
    we're 
    getting into 

    But 
    forty 
    mile 
    walk 
    would do us 

    both 
    a world 
    of good 

    And he 
    sat down 
    and 
    watched me 
    take off 
    down 

    the road 


    Verse 5

    Well, I 
    walked 
    so 
    far 
    my 
    feet began 
    to 
    bleed 

    If 
    this was 
    good for 
    me 
    I just 

    couldn't 
    see 
    it 

    A motor
    ist 
    picked 
    me up and 
    said 

    Look 
    man, 
    you must 
    be 
    crazy

    Verse 7
    My 
    leader 
    came to 
    see 

    me in 
    hospital 
    bed 

    Well 
    at least 
    I really 
    knew that my 

    leader 
    really 
    cared 

    After 
    giving 
    me 
    a second- 
    hand 
    roach 

    He said 
    where's 
    your donation 
    man, 

    It's 
    all 
    for a good 
    cause. 


    Verse 8


    He 
    left 
    me all 
    alone 
    to 
    work the 
    riddle 
    out 

    But I 
    just 
    couldn't 
    make 

    it so 
    I began 
    to 
    shout 

    They 
    stuck 
    a hypodermic 

    deep 
    down 
    into 
    me 

    Said, 
    look out 
    nurse 
    think we

    • 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.
