    With

    twenty 
    long 
    years

    and 
    tried, 


    Epifania, his 
    wife, 

    always 
    there 
    at 
    his side. 

    Often 
    surrounded, 
    he 
    always 
    was 
    hounded, 

    they 
    searched 
    for 
    him 

    near, 
    far, 
    and 
    wide: 

    man 
    of 
    deep 
    sorrow, 

    but

    a man 
    of 
    deep

    had 
    lived 
    by

    bullets 
    of

    the 
    work 
    that 
    he's 
    done. 


    Verse 7
    Two 
    thou
    sand 
    peasants 
    he 
    led 

    to their 
    long-promised 
    land, 

    land, 

    and 
    the 
    army's 
    revenge 
    killed 
    the 

    wife 
    an
    d the sons 
    and 
    the man. 

    His 
    assasins rejoiced 
    with 
    their 
    whiskey 
    and 
    women, 

    they 
    laughed 
    and 

    they danced 
    on 
    his 
    grave. 

    Now 
    the 
    land 
    waits 
    again 
    for an

    to 
    ride 
    on 
    the waves.

    work 
    that 
    he's 
    done.

      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 🙂

      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.
