    He 
    left 
    his

    burning 

    He 
    left 
    his

    About

    He 
    drove 
    through 
    the 
    town 

    With 
    a smile 
    on 
    his 
    face 

    Waving 
    to 
    everyone 

    As 
    he 
    went 
    on 
    his 
    way 


    Verse 8
    Polly 
    from 
    Red 
    River 

    Rose 
    from 
    Green 
    Falls 

    They

    the 
    lawn 

    Verse 9

    in 
    the 
    airport 

    By

    with 
    a 
    cane? 

    We

    roadside 

    Later 
    that 
    day

    smashed 
    his 
    windows 

    'Til 
    the 
    glass 
    was 
    all 
    gone 

    Polly 
    broke 
    the 
    backdoor 

    And 
    she 
    screamed 
    down 

    the 
    hall 

    Verse 11

    But 
    no 
    answer 
    sounded 

    But 
    wind 
    flying 
    through 

    As we 
    tore 
    up 
    the 
    green 
    lawn 

    And 
    torched all 
    the 
    rooms 

    Verse 12

    Did

    a 
    white 
    glove 

    In 
    the

    by

    leave 
    us? 

    Why

      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

      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.
