    Verse 1
    It's 
    coming 
    on 
    Christmas 

    They're 
    cutting 
    down 
    trees 

    They're 
    putting 
    up 
    rein
    deer 

    And 
    singing 
    songs 
    of 
    joy 
    and 
    peace 

    Oh, 
    wish 
    had 
    river 

    could 
    skate 
    away 
    on 

    But 
    it 
    don't 
    snow 
    here 

    It 
    stays 
    pretty 
    green 

    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    make 
    lot 
    of 
    money 

    Then 
    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    quit 
    this 
    cra- 
    zy 
    scene 

    wish 
    had 
    river 

    could 
    skate 
    away 
    on 

    Chorus 1
    wish 
    had 
    river 
    so 
    long 

    would 
    teach 
    my 
    feet 
    to 
    fly 

    Oh, 
    wish 
    had 
    river 

    could 
    skate 
    away 
    on 

    made 
    my 
    ba
    by 
    cry 


    Verse 2
    He 
    tried 
    hard 
    to 
    help 
    me 

    You 
    know, 
    he 
    put 
    me 
    at 
    ease 

    And 
    he 
    loved 
    me 
    so 
    naughty 

    Made 
    me 
    weak 
    in 
    the 
    knees 

    Oh, 
    wish 
    had 
    river 

    could 
    skate 
    away 
    on 

    I'm 
    so 
    hard 
    to 
    handle 

    I'm 
    selfish 
    and 
    I'm 
    sad 

    Now 
    I've 
    gone 
    and 
    lost 
    the 
    best 
    ba
    by 

    That 
    ev
    er 
    had 

    Oh, 
    wish 
    had 
    river 

    could 
    skate 
    away 
    on 

    Chorus 2
    wish 
    had 
    river 
    so 
    long 

    would 
    teach 
    my 
    feet 
    to 
    fly 


    Oh, 
    wish 
    had 
    river 

    could 
    skate 
    away 
    on 

    made 
    my 
    baby 
    say 
    goodbye 


    Verse 3
    It's 
    coming 
    on 
    Christmas 

    They're 
    cutting 
    down 
    trees 

    They're 
    putting 
    up 
    rein
    deer 

    And 
    singing 
    songs 
    of 
    joy 
    and 
    peace 

    wish 
    had 
    river 

    could 
    skate 
    away 
    on

      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.
