    • Verse 1
    fore you 
    came 

    Verse 2
    I 
    dreamed... 
    that I 
    was 
    riding 

    in 
    a South 
    Dakota 
    field 

    and 
    the sweet 
    grass 
    whispered 

    to 
    me 
    as 
    I 
    rode 

    oh, 
    the 
    sun 
    it 
    was 
    at midday 

    it shown 
    hot 
    across 
    my 
    face 

    and 
    our 
    land 
    lay 
    still 
    in 
    grace 

    yes, 
    a 
    crystal 
    silent 
    place 

    before 
    you 
    came 

    Verse 3

    Two 
    of 
    my 
    closest 
    brothers 

    they 
    were 
    riding 
    by 
    my 
    side 

    and 
    we 
    watched 
    a golden 
    eagle 

    flying 
    circles 
    in 
    the sky 

    Verse 4
    and 
    we 
    smiled 
    as 
    our 
    eyes 
    met 

    for 
    our 
    joy, 
    we could 
    not 
    hide 

    yes, 
    we 
    loved 
    to 
    hunt 
    and ride 

    it 
    was 
    good 
    to 
    be 
    alive 

    before 
    you 
    came 

    Verse 5
    brother, 
    take 
    my 
    hand 
    and 
    we 

    will 
    walk 
    this 
    magic 
    land 

    to
    gether 

    sister, 
    look 
    on 
    high 
    and 
    you 
    will 
    see 

    that storms 
    are 
    building 
    in 

    your 
    skies 

    woh, 
    do you 
    wonder 
    why? 

    Verse 6
    and 
    when 
    the 
    sun 
    was 
    dying 

    we 
    had 
    reached 
    the sacred 
    hills 

    and 
    the sky 
    it 
    caught 
    on 
    fire 

    and 
    all 
    the 
    land 
    was 
    still 

    Verse 7
    it 
    was 
    here 
    all 
    wrapped 
    in 
    blankets 

    in 
    our 
    younger 
    days 

    that 
    we fasted 
    and 
    we 
    listened 

    oh 
    the night 
    would 
    bring 
    us 
    visions 

    before 
    you 
    came 


    Verse 8
    Brother, 
    take 
    my 
    hand 

    for 
    we 
    must 
    hold 
    our 
    father's 

    land 
    to
    gether 

    Sister, 
    look 
    around 

    and 
    you 
    will 
    see 
    the scars 
    of 

    battle 
    on 
    this 
    ground 

    Wo
    h, 
    do you 
    hear 
    the sound? 

    Interlude 1







    Verse 9
    I 
    dreamed... 
    that I 
    was 
    riding 

    in 
    a 
    South 
    Dakota 
    field 

    And, 
    the sweet 
    grass 

    whispered 
    to 
    me 
    as 
    I rode 

    oh 
    the sun 
    it 
    was 
    at midday

    across 
    my

    lay 
    still 
    in 
    grace 

    is 
    a 
    crystal 
    silent 
    place 

    Verse 10
    Be
    fore 
    you 
    came...

      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.
