Intro 1

Verse 1
Betty 
came 
by 
on 
her 
way 

Said 
she 
had 
a 
word 
to 
say 

About 
things 
today 
and 
fallen 
leaves 

Said 
she 
hadn't 

heard 
the 
news 

Hadn't 
had 
the 
time 
to 
choose 

A 
way 
to 
lose, 
but 
she 
believes 

Chorus 1
Going 
to 
see 
the 
river 
man 

Going 
to 
tell 
him 
all 
I 
can 

About 
the 
plan 
for 
lilac 
time 

If 
he 
tells 
me 
all 
he 
knows 

About 
the 
way 
his 
river 
flows 

And 
all 
night 
shows 
in 
summertime 


Interlude 1




Verse 2
Betty 
said 

she 
prayed 
today 

For 
the 
sky 
to 
blow 
away 

Or 
maybe 
stay, 
she 
wasn't 
sure 

For 
when 
she 
thought 

of 
summer 
rain 

Calling 
for 
her 
mind 
again 

She 
lost 
the 
pain 

Chorus 2
And 
stayed 
for 
more 

Going 
to 
see 
the 
river 
man 

Going 
to 
tell 
him 
all 
I 
can 

About 
the 
ban 
on 
feeling 
free 

If 
he 
tells 
me 
all 
he 
knows 

About 
the 
way 
his 
river 
flows 

I 
don't 
suppose 
it's 
meant 
for 
me 


Outro 1
Oh, 
how 
they 
come 
and 
go 

Oh, 
how 
they 
come 
and 
go 


[Fade 
out]

    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.
