    Verse 1
    Heading 
    off 

    on 
    a river 
    at 
    peace 
    in 
    the cool 
    of 
    an evening 

    Heading 
    off 
    on 
    a river 
    of 
    light, 

    be 
    a part 
    of 
    a river 
    at night 

    Nice to 
    be 
    on 
    a river 
    sometimes, 

    like 
    a junebug 
    traveling 

    Heading 
    off 
    on 
    a ribbon 
    of 
    song, 

    been 
    away 
    from 
    the river 
    too 
    long 

    Good 
    to be 
    on 
    a river 
    somewhere, 

    like 
    a milkweed 
    traveling 

    Heading 
    off 
    on 
    a ribbon 
    of 
    dreams, 

    be 
    a part 
    of 
    a river 
    it seems 

    Can 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    how 
    long 

    must 
    I 
    travel 
    on? 

    Verse 2
    I 
    won't 
    be looking 
    up 
    old 
    friends, 

    I 
    won't 
    be looking 
    up 
    old 
    friends 
    ever 
    again 


    Verse 3
    I spent 
    my 
    life 
    taking 
    my 
    time 

    and 
    I can't 
    change 
    anything 

    Take 
    a look 
    at my 
    river 
    of light, 

    be 
    a part 
    of 
    a river 
    at night 

    Nice to 
    be 
    on 
    a river 
    at 
    peace, 

    like 
    a junebug 
    traveling 

    Heading 
    off 
    on 
    a river 
    at 
    last, 

    my tears 
    will 
    be all 
    in the past 

    Good to 
    be 
    on 
    a river 
    somewhere, 

    like 
    a milkweed 
    traveling 

    Heading 
    down 
    where 
    the water 
    runs 
    deep, 

    down 
    deep 
    where the 
    fish 
    are asleep 
    now 

    Can 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    how 
    long 

    must 
    I 
    travel 
    on? 

    Verse 4
    I 
    won't 
    be looking 
    up old 
    friends, 

    I 
    won't 
    be looking 
    up 
    old 
    friends 
    ever 
    again.. 


    Verse 5
    Trouble 
    don't 
    mean 
    nothing 
    to 
    me, 

    and 
    I had 
    my 
    share 
    of it 

    Heading 
    off 
    on 
    a river 
    of light, 

    be 
    a part 
    of 
    a river 
    at 
    night 

    Nice 
    to be 
    on 
    a river 
    at 
    peace, 

    in 
    the cool 
    of 
    an evening 

    Heading 
    off 
    on 
    the silver 
    moon 
    light, 

    maybe 
    love'll find 
    me tonight 

    Good to 
    be 
    on 
    a river 
    somewhere, 

    like 
    a milkweed 
    traveling 

    Heading 
    off 
    on 
    a ribbon 
    of dreams, 

    be 
    a part 
    of 
    a river 
    it 
    seems 

    Can 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    how 
    long 

    must 
    I 
    travel 
    on? 

    Verse 6
    I 
    won't 
    be looking 
    up 
    old 
    friends 

    I 
    won't 
    be looking 
    up 
    old 
    friends 
    ever 
    again, 

    ever 
    again

      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 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.

      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.
