    • Verse 1
    Dear 
    John 

    Oh 
    how 
    I 
    hate 
    to 
    write 

    Dear 
    John 

    I 
    must 
    let 
    you 
    know 
    to
    night 

    Verse 2
    That 
    my 
    love 
    for 
    you 
    has 
    died 

    Away 
    like 
    grass 
    upon 
    the 
    lawn 

    And 
    to
    night 
    I 
    wed 
    another 

    Dear 
    John 

    Verse 3

    I 
    was 
    overseas 
    in 
    battle 
    when 

    the 
    postman 
    came 
    to 
    me 

    He 
    handed 
    me 
    a letter 
    and 
    I 
    was 
    just 

    as 
    happy 
    as 
    I 
    could be 

    Cause 
    the fighting 
    was 
    all 
    over and 
    the battles 

    have all 
    been 
    won 

    But 
    then 
    I 
    opened 
    up 
    the letter 

    and 
    that started 
    dear 
    John 

    Verse 4
    Won't 
    you please 
    send 
    back 
    my 
    picture 

    my 
    husband 
    wants 
    it 
    now 

    When 
    I tell 
    you 
    who 
    I'm wedding 

    you 
    won't care 
    dear 
    any
    how 

    And 
    it 
    hurts 
    me so 
    to tell 
    you 
    that my 

    love 
    for 
    you 
    has 
    gone 

    But tonight 
    I 
    wed 
    your 
    brother 
    dear 
    John 

    Verse 5
    To
    night 
    I 
    wed 
    another 
    dear 
    John

      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.
