    • Verse 1
    Dear 
    cousin 

    Tore, 
    I 
    hope 
    this 
    letter 

    finds 
    you 
    well. 

    The 
    floods 
    have taken 
    hold 
    of 
    us, 

    but my 
    hus
    band 
    will 
    not 
    sell. 

    Your 
    letters 
    have 
    all 
    perished, 
    the 

    Bible 
    has 
    sur
    vived. 

    And 

    Jesus 
    holds 
    us 
    in 
    his 
    hand
    s 

    In 
    a 
    land 
    where 
    love 
    abides 

    When 
    you're 
    forty 
    years 
    upon 
    the 
    land 

    The 
    land 
    be
    comes 
    your 
    soul 

    We've 
    seen 
    candles 
    gone 
    to 
    kerosene, 

    lamps 
    and 
    electric 
    poles 

    All 
    along 
    the 
    tele
    graph, 

    the 
    song 
    of 
    the 
    talking 
    wire 

    The 
    massacre 
    of 

    Indians, 
    the 
    dying 
    of 
    their 
    fires 

    Grandchildren 
    lie 
    in 
    ross 
    and 
    wheat 

    and 
    watch 
    the 
    trains 
    roll 
    by 

    They 
    dream 
    they'll 
    see 
    old 

    Jesse 

    James 
    com
    ing 
    through 
    the 

    Rhine 

    They 
    sing 
    about 

    John 

    Henry 
    and 

    Barbara 

    Al
    len's 
    ghost 

    As 
    they 
    talk 
    of 
    hop
    ping 
    freight 
    trains 

    To 
    the 
    prom
    ised 
    land, 
    the 
    coast 

    The 

    Larsons 
    and 
    the 

    Russell
    s 

    Have 
    fled 
    the 
    land 
    of 
    corn 

    To 
    search 
    for 
    gold 
    in 

    Hollywood 

    Where 
    the 
    worst 
    of 
    dreams 
    are 
    born 

    They 
    leave 
    behind 
    their 
    heritage, 

    their 
    tools 
    from 

    Ireland 

    The 
    gold 
    they 
    seek 
    in 

    California 
    is 
    glitter 
    mixed 

    with 
    sand 

    American 
    primitive 
    men, 

    American 
    primitive 
    land 

    I 
    seldom 
    feel 
    his 
    loving 
    hand, 

    Amer
    ican 
    primitive 
    man.

      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.
