    Verse 1
    In 
    1928, Glen and 

    Bessie 
    met 
    their 
    fate 

    From 
    Twin 
    Falls 
    down 
    the Col
    orado 

    In a 
    handmade 
    canoe, 

    what 
    happened 
    to 
    these 
    two? 

    Is 
    up 
    to 
    who 
    you ask, 

    but 
    full 
    of 
    sorrow 

    It took twenty- 
    six 
    full 
    days 
    to 

    find 
    the 
    heart 
    of the maze 

    Deep 
    in the canyon, 
    they were 
    swallowed 

    He 
    dragged 
    his 
    new 
    wife 

    through 
    his 
    treacherous 
    life 

    For 
    cheap 
    thrills 
    he 
    took 

    their to
    morrows 

    Verse 2
    Did you 
    make 
    it? 

    Did you 
    make 
    it? 

    Did you 
    make 
    it 
    on 
    your 
    own? 

    Or 
    did you 
    fake 
    it, 

    Fake 
    it? 

    Leave 
    someone 
    else's 
    bones? 

    Verse 3
    They were 
    last 
    seen 
    alive 
    by 
    Emery 
    Kolb 

    Who 
    lived 
    alone 
    in 
    the canyon 

    He 
    put 'em 
    up 
    for 
    the night, 

    warmed 
    'em up 
    by 
    the stove 

    Sayin', "At 
    least 
    let 
    me save 

    your 
    compan
    ion" 

    The 
    years 
    flew 
    by 
    and 
    Kolb 
    passed 
    on 

    They 
    found 
    some 
    bones 
    in his 
    boat
    house 

    bullet 
    in 
    the skull 
    from an
    other 
    dawn 

    Under 
    the piles 
    of his 
    pho
    tos 

    Verse 4
    Did you 
    make 
    it? 

    Did you 
    make 
    it? 

    Did you 
    make 
    it on 
    your own? 

    Or 
    did you 
    fake 
    it, 

    Fake 
    it? 

    Leave 
    someone 
    else's 

    bones? 

    Someone 
    else's 
    bones? 

    Verse 5
    "This 
    boat 
    looks 
    like 
    a coffin 

    and 
    the 
    water 
    is 
    strong 

    If 
    you go, 
    you are 
    gone, 

    gone, 
    gone... 

    If 
    you go, 

    you are 
    gone, (gone, gone)" 

    Verse 6
    Fifty 
    years 
    later 
    the 
    tale 
    turned 
    to 
    legend 

    wo
    man 
    claimed 
    to 

    be Bess 
    for a second 

    By 
    the fire, 
    she 
    said 
    without 
    smiling 

    "I'm 
    Bessie, 
    I killed 
    him, 

    I was 
    simply 
    surviving" 

    "I'm 
    Bessie, 
    killed 
    him, 

    I was simply 
    surviving"

    • 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.
