    Verse 1
    Lord, 

    put 
    hand 
    to 
    the 
    handle 
    on 
    my 
    heart 

    Let 
    me 
    make 
    another 
    step, 

    help 
    me 
    go 
    another 
    road 

    Even 
    though 
    I'm tired, 

    I'd 
    break 
    my 
    back 

    for 
    my 
    wife 
    and 
    kids 
    liv

    ing 
    in 
    the 
    shack. 

    Every 
    morning, 
    Lord, 

    get 
    up 
    and 
    look at 
    the sky. 

    And 
    I know 
    if I'm going 
    to work, 

    the 
    sun's 
    got to 
    shine. 

    But 
    I'm 
    gettin' 
    old, 
    before 
    my 
    time 

    Broke 
    down, 
    body 
    and 
    mind 

    And 
    sometime 
    when I 
    don't see 

    a rain 
    cloud 
    floatin' 
    by, 

    Lord 
    just 
    feel like 
    dyin' 

    My 
    pa used 
    to 
    tell me 

    when I 
    was a boy 

    He'd 
    say, 
    son, 

    them 
    big 
    white 
    fleecy 
    clouds 

    Ain't 
    nothin' 
    but 
    cotton 

    fields 
    of 
    the Lord 

    Well, 
    after all 
    these 
    years 
    of 
    plantin' 

    and 
    choppin' 
    and pickin' 

    If 
    do get 
    to heaven, 

    like 
    I've been 
    tryin' 

    And 
    them cloud
    s be 
    what Pa 
    said 

    Lord, 
    hope your 
    angels 

    know how 
    to use 
    a hoe 

    Lord, 
    put 
    hand 
    to 
    the 
    handle 
    of 
    my 
    hoe 

    Let 
    me 
    make 
    another 
    step 

    Help 
    me 
    go 
    another 
    road, 

    even 
    though 
    I'm 
    tired. 

    I'd 
    bring 
    my 
    bike 

    for 
    my 
    wife 
    and 
    kids 
    liv

    ing 
    in 
    the 
    shack. 

    You 
    remember 
    the 
    time 
    the wife 
    said, 

    you've 
    got to slow 
    down. 

    said, 
    honey, 

    I've 
    got to 
    make it while 
    I can. 

    So 
    I worked 
    three 
    days 

    without stop
    ping. 

    Miss 
    Simmons 
    down 
    the road 

    had 
    wood 
    need choppin' 

    Sam 
    Thurlow 
    over east 
    had 

    hay needed 
    bailin' 

    Old 
    man 
    Turner 
    wanted 

    his 
    hopper fixed 

    be
    fore spring 
    planted 

    The 
    fourth 
    day I 
    was 
    down on 
    my back, 

    Lord 

    But 
    I got 
    it all done 
    before 

    the 
    sky turned 
    black 

    Now, 
    Lord, 
    I ain't complainin' 

    But 
    sometime 
    when 

    you see 
    me stumble 

    Reach 
    down 
    an
    d lift 
    hand 

    under my 
    cotton sack 

    Make 
    my days 
    little shorter, 

    my nights 
    little longer 

    Make 
    the hammer 
    little lighter, 

    dollar 
    a little 
    stronger. 

    Is 
    there anything I 
    can do 

    for 
    you, Lord? 

    Let me 
    know 
    what's 
    to be 
    done, 
    Lord. 

    Thy 
    will 
    be 
    done. 

    Good 
    night, 
    Lord. 

    Lord, 
    put 
    hand 
    to 
    the 
    handle 
    of 
    my 
    heart 

    Let 
    me 
    make 
    another 
    step, 

    help 
    me 
    go 
    an
    other 
    road 

    Even 
    though 
    I'm 
    tired, 
    break 
    my 
    back 

    For 
    my 
    wife 
    and 
    kids, 
    liv

    shack

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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

      Tuliketsune

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      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.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
