    The 
    cow 
    made 
    the 

    long 
    table 
    for 
    his 
    bride 

    Jun
    e 

    When 
    the 
    first 
    child 
    was 
    born, 

    and 
    they 
    needed 
    more 
    room 

    The 
    cow 
    was 
    one 
    of 
    four 
    sons, 

    and 
    there 
    was 
    too 
    little 
    farm 

    And 
    the 
    rail
    road 
    had 
    worked, 

    so 
    they 
    moved 
    into 
    town 

    First 
    came 

    Emmett 
    an
    d 

    Claire, 

    William 
    and 

    Grace 

    Round 
    the 
    long 
    table 
    they 

    all 
    took 
    their 
    place 

    Every 
    year 
    they 
    would 
    gather
    , 

    sing 
    car
    ols 
    and 
    hymns 

    With 
    canned 
    peaches 
    and 
    short

    cake 
    and 
    four 
    white 
    grins 

    But 
    it 
    feels 
    like 
    it's 
    been 
    one 
    long 

    Christmas 
    dinner

    One 
    un
    ending 
    pray
    er, 

    one 
    un
    broken 
    line 

    Singing, 

    Thou 
    my 
    vision, 
    by 
    day 
    or 
    by 
    night 

    All 
    is 
    calm 
    and 
    all 
    is 
    bright 

    Eat
    ing 
    strawberry 
    jam 
    from 

    our 
    victory 
    garden 

    June 
    kep
    t giving 

    Emmett 
    more 
    food 
    than 
    he 
    wanted 

    As 
    if 
    she 
    could 
    fill 
    him 
    with 

    enough 
    food 
    and 
    faith 

    To 
    last 
    him 
    through 

    Europe 
    and 
    bring 
    him 
    home 
    safe 

    Clara 
    moved 
    back 
    at 

    Christmas 
    with 
    her 
    two 
    chil
    dren 

    When 
    her 
    husband 
    ran 
    off 
    with 

    a 
    girl 
    who 
    was 
    willing 

    When 

    Grace's 
    small 
    daugh
    ter 

    offered 
    up 
    her 
    shortcake 

    Clara 
    leaned 
    on 

    Will's 
    shoulder 
    and 
    covered 
    her 
    face 

    But 
    it 
    feels 
    like 
    it's 

    been 
    one 
    long 

    Christmas 
    day 

    One 
    un
    ending 
    pray
    er, 

    one 
    un
    broken 
    light 

    Singing, 
    be 
    thou 
    my 
    vision 

    by 
    day 
    or 
    by 
    night 

    All 
    is 
    calm 
    and 
    all 
    is 
    bright 

    Long 
    ago 

    Emmett 
    came 
    home 

    Now 
    he 
    carves 
    the 
    ham, 

    though 
    since 
    then 
    he's 
    needed 
    a 
    leg 
    brace 
    to 
    stand 

    He 
    and 

    Grace 
    visit 
    of
    ten, 
    help 

    Mom 
    with 
    yard 
    work 

    We 
    still 
    can't 
    be
    lieve 
    what 

    they're 
    wearing 
    to 
    church 

    Cousin 

    Nan's 
    in 

    Chicago, 

    and 
    she stayed 
    good 
    friend
    s 

    With 

    Cousin 

    Rose, 
    who's 
    a 
    painter, 
    and lives 
    in 

    South 

    Bend 

    And 

    William's 
    boy, 

    Mi
    chael, 
    is 
    a 
    young 
    handsome 
    rope 

    Cruisin' 
    town 
    with 
    an 
    eight 
    -track 
    up 

    Abbey 

    Road 

    But 
    it 
    feels 
    like 
    it's 
    been 
    one 
    long 

    Christmas 
    dinner

    One 
    blood 
    -ending 
    pray
    er, 

    one 
    of 
    unbroken 
    lines 

    Singin' 
    be 
    thou 
    my 
    vision, 

    by 
    day 
    or 
    by 
    night 

    All 
    is 
    calm 
    and 
    all 
    is 
    bright 

    There've 
    been 
    so 
    many 
    joys 

    and 
    so 
    many 
    cradles 

    But 
    there 
    was 
    one 
    who 
    spent 

    only 
    one 
    year 
    at 
    the 
    table 

    It 
    must 
    have 
    been 

    Grand
    ma who 
    gathered 
    her 
    clothes 

    So 
    she'd 
    have 
    no 
    fear 
    when 

    they 
    both 
    passed 
    across 

    So 
    I 
    out 
    the 
    canned 
    peaches, 

    in 
    honor 
    of 

    June 

    And 
    for 

    Mi
    chael's 
    grown 
    daughter, 

    who's 
    coming 
    home 
    soon 

    For 
    all 
    that 
    we've 
    lost, 

    or 
    we 
    haven't 
    found 
    yet 

    Oh, 
    they'll 
    come 
    to 
    the 
    table 

    and 
    clasp 
    hands 
    around 

    And 
    it 
    feels 
    like 
    it's 
    been 
    one 
    long 

    Christmas 
    dinner

    One 
    un
    ending 
    pray
    er, 

    one 
    un
    broken 
    light 

    Singing, 
    be 

    Thou 
    my 
    vision 
    by 
    day 
    or 
    by 
    night 

    All

    All 
    is

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
