    • Verse 1
    It's 
    an 

    American 
    song 
    called 

    Bury 

    My 

    Heart 
    at 

    Wounded 

    Interlude 1
    Knee. 





    Verse 2
    Very 
    much, 

    so 
    where 
    does 
    needs 
    to 
    see? 

    Turn 
    it 
    loose 
    in 
    a 
    lonely 
    place 

    Where 
    a 
    man 
    may 
    still 
    be 
    free 

    Make 
    up 
    my 
    clothes 
    and 

    my 
    sheets 
    in 
    a 
    ball 

    Put 
    them 
    in 
    the 
    ground 

    Tell 
    my 
    children 
    only 
    truths 

    Teach 
    them to 
    be 
    proud 

    Tell 
    of dreams 
    and 
    miracles 

    And 
    when 
    that 
    thunder 
    starts 

    Bury 
    my 
    heart 

    Bury 
    my 
    heart 


    Well, 
    I 
    was 
    born 

    a 
    travelin' 
    trooper 

    But 
    I 
    laid 
    my 
    wings 
    to 
    rest 

    Once 
    I 
    beat 
    myself 
    in 
    vengeance 

    Now 
    I 
    feather 
    up 
    my 
    nest 

    There 
    are 
    flags 
    in 
    my 
    backyard 

    Col
    ors 
    on 
    my 
    wall 

    I 
    pay 
    my 
    servant 
    well 

    But 
    I 
    make 
    the 
    bastard 
    call 

    And 
    I 
    pretend 
    no 
    blessed 
    evil 

    So 
    I 
    don't 
    hear 
    that 
    thunder 
    start 

    Bury 
    my 
    heart 


    There's 
    a 
    lily 
    in 
    the 
    valley 

    Where 
    I 
    brought 
    the 
    news 
    to 
    low 

    Offered 
    him 
    my 
    visions, 

    but 
    the 
    hea
    then 
    rose 
    to 
    go 

    So 
    I 
    took 
    my 
    shining 
    saber
    , 

    and 
    I 
    slew 
    my 
    sinning 
    friend 

    The 

    Christian 
    burial 
    was 
    all 
    he 

    needed 
    to 
    make 
    him 
    whole 
    again 

    And 
    I 
    looked 
    up 
    way 
    above 
    me 

    God 
    ripped 
    the 
    skies 
    apart, 

    buried 
    my 
    heart 

    Bury 
    my 
    heart 

    Bury 
    my 
    heart 



    We're 

    God's 
    chosen 
    people 

    This 
    and 
    other 
    truths 
    I 
    know 

    I 
    put 
    them 
    into 
    vicious 
    practice 

    Because 
    the 

    Bible 
    tells 
    me 
    so 

    And 
    I 
    drowned 
    the 
    noble 
    savage 

    In 
    the 
    blessed 
    holy 
    water

    Burned 
    his 
    filthy 
    village 

    Hey, 
    I 
    civilized 
    his 
    daughter 

    There 
    are 
    li
    ars 
    in 
    the 
    world, 

    who 
    say 
    we 
    shame 
    the 
    blood 
    of 

    Christ 

    But 
    killing 
    is 

    His 
    mercy, 
    and it's 
    growing 
    to 
    lice 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    gooks 
    that 
    I've 
    made poem
    s, 

    I 
    did 
    it 
    in 

    God's 
    name 

    And 
    when 
    the 
    fools 
    put 
    me 
    on 
    tri
    al, 

    I 
    shouted 
    out, 
    boy 
    I'm 
    not 
    to 
    blame 

    I 
    did 
    it 
    for 

    Him, 
    I 
    did 
    it 
    for 

    Him, 
    I 
    did 
    it 
    for 

    Him, 

    He 
    did 
    it 

    You 
    tore 
    the 
    heavens 
    apart 

    Bury 
    my 
    heart 

    Bury 
    my 
    heart 

    Bury 
    it 
    way 
    down 
    low 

    Bury 
    it 
    way 
    down 
    low 



    Now 
    I'm 
    go
    ing 
    to 
    the 
    wilderness 

    On 
    a 
    horse 
    that 
    I 
    can't 
    trust 

    And 
    I'll 
    die 
    where 
    I 
    fall 

    In 
    the 
    hot, 
    dry 
    dust 

    An
    d 
    if you 
    come 
    to that 
    place 

    Remember 
    this 
    truth 

    That 
    only 
    the 
    mountains 

    Live 
    forever 
    in 
    only 

    the 
    earth 
    and 
    jewels 

    Will 
    you 
    bury 
    my 
    soul 

    Where 
    the 
    dust 
    meets 
    the 
    sea 

    Bury 
    my 
    heart 

    And 
    wounded 
    knee, 
    bury 
    my 
    heart 

    And 
    worth 
    it, 
    we 
    buried 
    my 
    heart

      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.

      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.
