    • Verse 1
    I 
    made 
    a trip 
    back 

    to 
    my 
    hometown 
    last 
    week 

    For 
    my 
    grandparent's fifty 

    year 
    an
    niversary 

    It was 
    black 
    leather 
    wingtips, and 

    big 
    bouffant 
    hair 

    Your 
    typical 
    senior 
    af
    fair 

    Verse 2
    They 
    were 
    cuttin' 
    the rug 

    to a 
    Glen 
    Miller 
    tune 

    When 
    someone 
    stood 
    up 
    and 

    tapped 
    a 
    glass 
    with 
    a spoon 

    It was 
    old 
    Eddie 
    Vick
    er's 

    granddaddy's best 
    man 

    And his 
    very 
    best 
    friend 
    to this 
    day 

    And his 
    eyes 
    grew 
    misty 
    as 
    he 

    raised 
    his 
    champagne 

    Verse 3
    He said, 
    'Here's 
    to 
    the makers 

    of things 
    built 
    to last 

    Like 
    church 
    bells 
    and 
    bridges, 

    and 
    baseball 
    on 
    grass 

    Like 
    Ferguson 
    tract
    ors 
    and 
    Lucchese 
    boots 

    My 
    daddy's 
    old 
    tools 
    I still 
    use 

    Verse 4
    The 
    pledge 
    of 
    allegi
    ance, 

    the stars 
    and 
    the stripes 

    The word
    s in 
    the Bib
    le, 

    the 
    sun 
    in 
    the sky 

    And 
    here's 
    to 
    the twinkle 

    in old 
    married 
    eye
    s 

    Still 
    there 
    after 
    fifty 
    years 
    past 

    Here's 
    to the 
    makers 
    of 

    things 
    built 
    to 
    last.' 

    Verse 5
    We 
    live 
    in 
    a world 
    now 
    of 
    plastic 
    and 
    glue 

    Dis
    posable 
    honor, 
    re
    placeable 
    truth 

    And if 
    a 
    pot 
    breaks, 
    why 
    fix 
    it? 

    Man, 
    what's 
    the use? 

    It 
    costs 
    less 
    to buy 
    it brand 
    new 

    Verse 6
    Oh, but 
    lately 
    I've 
    looked 
    in 

    the 
    eyes 
    of my 
    wife 

    And I 
    see 
    there 
    what matters 

    the 
    most 
    in 
    this 
    life 

    And I 
    have 
    decided 
    I'm 
    takin' 
    a stand 

    To 
    stay 
    on 
    that fifty 
    year 
    plan 

    In
    spired 
    by 
    the 
    words 
    of 
    a 
    very 
    wise 
    man 

    Verse 7
    He 
    said, 
    'Here's 
    to 
    the makers 

    of 
    things 
    built 
    to last

    daddy's

    I 
    still

    Verse 8
    The 
    pledge 
    of 
    alle
    giance, 

    the stars 
    and

      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.
