Note Your Lyrics, Chords, Guitar Tab, and More

SongWriter HD - Write lyrics and record melody ideas on the go enables you to write the lyrics for your songs and then specify which sections are which, such as the verses, chorus, bridge, middle 8, and so on.

Once you’ve laid down your lyrics, there is a very cool feature called the Chord Picker that can be used to overlay the chords on top of the lyrical content. There are more than 1,000 chord diagrams included for guitar, bass, ukulele, and banjo, so you’re sure to find everything you need.

If you’re a more creative spirit or you’re just looking to create some more ‘far out’ sounds, then you’ll be pleased to know that you can easily add your own chord voicings to the database and then place them over your lyrics with ease.

Record Melody Ideas

The developer of this app really has thought of everything. You can also add guitar tab to your lyrics and you can even record snippets of audio to get down any ideas for instrumental sections and vocal melodies you might have rattling around inside the old noggin.
