    Verse 1

    There is 
    a 
    house 
    in 
    New Orleans 

    They call 
    the Rising 
    Sun

    And 
    it's been 
    the 
    ruin 

    of many 
    poor 
    soul 

    And, Lord, 
    my father
    's 
    one 

    My 
    mother, 
    she's 
    a 
    tail
    or 
    Verse 2

    She 
    sews 
    those 
    new blue 
    jeans 

    To 
    keep my 
    gambling 
    father 
    drunk 

    Deep 
    down 
    in New Orleans 

    It's 
    Verse 3
    a happy 
    happy 
    happy 

    happy 
    fun 
    day 
    day 

    Interlude 1
    Verse 4

    Like a 
    bird 
    flying 
    over 
    forest 
    fire 

    My father 
    feels 
    the 
    heat 
    be

    neath his 
    wings 

    And in debt 
    he leaves 
    for another 

    town 

    Where he gambles 
    and, 

    drunk, 
    he still 
    drink
    s 

    My 
    mother 
    hides 
    Verse 5
    from pleasure 

    And thinks 
    of Father 
    on 
    her 
    knees 

    Lifted 
    in 
    the 
    arms of 
    God 

    Away 
    from 
    New Or
    leans 

    Happy 
    happy 
    happy 
    happy 
    Verse 6
    fun 
    day 
    day 

    Happy 
    happy 
    happy 
    happy 
    fun 
    day 
    day

      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.

      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.
