    an old

    wish 

    They say 
    it's 
    mighty 
    pretty 
    in Alaska 

    My 
    daddy 
    used 
    to talk 
    about 

    those 
    deep 
    sea 
    fish 

    So 
    there's 
    something, 
    darling, 

    that 
    I wanna 
    ask 
    you 

    So

    the cattle 
    calling 

    Lowing 
    in 
    the land 
    of 
    Okeecho
    bee 

    Where 
    it's 
    flatter 
    than 
    the cardboard 

    on 
    the 
    carport floor 

    And the cat
    tails 
    seem 
    to 

    wave 
    just 
    like 
    they know 
    me 

    Ah, 
    but 
    Verse 3
    Enoch 
    in 
    the tackle 
    shop 

    Goes 
    on 
    about 
    the salmon 
    caught 

    The 
    time 
    he 
    and 
    his 
    brother 

    sailed 
    to 
    Juneau 

    Verse 4

    So

    the 
    truck

    will 
    see 
    us 
    go 

    if 
    we're 
    in 
    luck 

    So 
    come

    it's 
    Alaska

    the 
    clouds 
    were 
    mountains 

    Towering 
    above 
    the 
    rolling 
    ocean 

    And 
    I 
    was 
    sailing 
    on 
    my 
    tractor, 

    turning 
    hay 
    out 
    in 
    the pasture 

    Catching

    was

      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 🙂

      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.
