  • Verse 1
    Balaam 
    was a 
    prophet 
    about 
    the time 

    that 
    Moses 
    was 
    coming 
    through 

    And every 
    now 
    and again 
    God'd speak 

    to him 
    and 
    tell 
    him what to 
    say 
    and do 

    He 
    had 
    a reputation 
    in 
    all 
    those 
    parts 
    for 

    bein' 
    on the 
    line 
    of power

    And when 
    Moab's king 
    heard Moses 
    was 

    comin' 
    he called 
    him 
    in his 
    needy 
    hour 

    Verse 2
    He said, 
    "Balaam 
    come 
    and 

    curse 
    these 
    Israel
    ites 

    If 
    you 
    do 
    I believe 
    I could 
    beat 

    'em 
    in a 
    fight
    !" 

    But when 
    Balaam 
    asked 
    the Lord, 

    the 
    Lord 
    said, 
    "Balaam 
    don't 
    you 
    go 

    Israel 
    is 
    blessed 
    by 
    Me, 

    don't 
    you 
    go mess 
    up My 
    show" 

    But 
    Ba
    laam's 
    head 
    was 
    turned 

    by the 
    money 
    he 
    could 
    earn 

    So 
    he 
    saddled 
    up 
    his 
    donkey 
    anyway 

    Ba
    laam 
    and his 
    servants 
    Verse 3
    hurried 
    off 

    for the 
    King 
    of 
    Mo
    ab's castle 

    But they 
    hadn't 
    gone 
    very 
    far 
    down 
    the road 

    when the 
    whole 
    trip 
    became 
    a hassle 

    Because 
    the 
    donkey 
    ran 
    off 
    across 
    field, 

    then she 
    nearly 
    broke 
    Balaam's 
    ankle 

    But 
    when she 
    lay 
    right 
    down 
    and 
    wouldn't 
    get up 

    Balaam 
    got 
    a little 
    more 
    than rankled 

    Verse 4
    For the 
    third 
    time 
    Balaam 
    beat 

    her 
    with 
    his 
    cane 

    But that 
    donkey 
    just 
    refused 

    to move 
    again 

    It was the 
    thing 
    that 
    happened 
    next 
    though, 

    that 
    made 
    Ba
    laam's 
    knees 
    get 
    weak 

    Well, 
    that 
    don
    key 
    still 
    would 
    not 

    get 
    up but 
    she 
    began 
    to speak 

    She 
    said, 
    "Balaam 
    you're 
    to blame, 

    the 
    way you 
    beat 
    me 
    is a 
    shame 

    'Cause 
    all 
    I've 
    done 
    is 
    tried 

    to save 
    your 
    life!" 

    Verse 5
    Then the 
    Angel 
    of 
    the Lord 
    appeared 

    with a flamin' 
    sword 
    in his 
    hand 

    Balaam 
    fell 
    down 
    on his 
    face, 

    a very 
    frightened 
    man 

    The Angel 
    said, 
    "Balaam, 

    you'd 
    be dead 
    if your donkey 
    hadn't 
    detec
    ted 

    That 
    I was 
    waitin' 
    there 
    to part 
    your 
    hair 
    when 

    you and 
    my sword 
    connec
    ted" 

    Verse 6
    Balaam 
    then 
    repented 
    for 
    his sin 

    And he 
    promised 
    not 
    to 
    act 
    like 
    that 
    again 

    And I 
    hope 
    he 
    learned 
    his 
    lesson 
    about 

    God's 
    reward 
    for greed 

    But you 
    know it's 
    that 
    talkin' 
    donkey 

    that's 
    really 
    strange 
    indeed 

    Now that 
    donkey's 
    just 
    a don
    key 

    but she's 
    still 
    the thing 
    God 
    used 

    And 
    that's 
    the point 
    I want 
    you 
    all 
    to see 

    Verse 7
    The 
    Lord's 
    the 
    one 
    who 
    makes 
    the choice 

    of the 
    instrument 
    He's 
    usin' 

    We don't 
    know 
    the reasons 
    and 

    the plans 
    behind 
    His choosin' 

    So 
    when 
    the Lord 
    starts 
    usin' 

    you 
    don't you 
    pay 
    it 
    any 
    mind 

    He 'could 
    have used 
    the dog 
    next 

    door 
    if 
    He'd 
    been so 
    inclined

      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.

      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.
