    He 
    sat 
    on

    Pre-chorus 1
    He 
    carried 
    candy 
    for 
    the 
    kids 

    In 
    his 
    Sunday 
    dress 
    coat 

    He'd 
    take 
    me 
    fishing 
    after 
    church 

    And 
    taught 
    me 
    things 
    needed 
    to 
    know 

    Naw 
    deacon 
    didn't 
    have 
    family 

    Lord

    Chorus 1
    And 
    today 
    he 
    joined 
    up 
    with 
    Jesus 

    Wearing 
    shiny 
    pearl 
    snaps 

    We 
    sang 
    few 
    gospel 
    hymns 

    And 
    then 
    the 
    soldier 
    played

    bet 
    he's 
    walking 
    with 
    Pete

    Pre-chorus 2
    He 
    married 
    sweet 
    Emma 
    Grace 

    Be
    fore 
    the 
    war 
    was 
    through 

    She 
    held 
    his 
    right 
    arm 

    Next 
    to 
    his 
    anchor 
    tat
    too 

    He 
    was 
    on 
    ship 
    off 
    at 
    sea 

    When 
    she 
    died 
    in 
    child 
    birth 

    He 
    lost 
    his 
    whole 
    world 

    From 
    the 
    far 
    side 
    of 
    the 
    earth 

    Pre-chorus 3
    He 
    lost 
    the 
    will 
    to 
    love 

    He

    or 
    two 

    But 
    in 
    the 
    end 
    he 
    beat 
    the 
    devil 

    Until 
    he 
    was 
    black 
    and 
    blue 

    Singing 
    I- 
    once 
    was 
    lost 

    But 
    now 
    I'm 
    found

    • 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.
