    She 
    packed 
    my 
    bags 
    last 
    night 
    pre 
    flight 

    Zero 
    hour 
    nine 
    a.m. 

    And 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    be 
    high 

    as 
    a 
    kite 
    by 
    then 

    I 
    miss 
    the 
    Earth 
    so 
    much 

    I 
    miss 
    my 
    wife 

    It's 
    lonely 
    out 
    in 
    space 

    On 
    such 
    a 
    time
    less 
    flight 


    Chorus 1
    And 
    I 
    think

    time 

    'Till 
    touch 
    down 

    brings 
    me 
    'round 
    again 
    to 
    find 

    I'm

    am 
    at 
    home

    Mars 
    ain't 
    the 
    kind

    I 
    don't

      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.
