    Verse 1
    Grandpa 
    was 
    a preach
    er, 

    and 
    he 
    led 
    the singing 
    too 

    Grand
    ma 
    used 
    to 
    yo
    del 

    and 
    tell us 
    what 
    to do 

    Grand
    pa 
    drove 
    a 
    limousine, 

    but 
    just 
    on 
    Saturdays 

    He'd 
    tell 
    the 
    crying 
    fam
    ilies 

    about 
    Je
    sus 
    by 
    the grave 

    He 
    was 
    always 
    smil
    ing 
    and 

    whistling 
    a 
    tun
    e 

    Grand
    pa 
    had 
    the kindest 
    eyes, 

    Carolina 
    blues 

    And 
    once 
    I knew 
    this 
    girl 

    whose 
    grand
    pa 
    was 
    a millionaire 

    And 
    when 
    he kicked 
    the 
    bucket, 

    well, she was 
    the only 
    heir 

    An
    d 
    he left 
    her 
    with 
    everything, 

    more 
    than 
    she 
    could 
    dream 

    Truckloads 
    full 
    of 
    money, 

    with 
    the 
    castle 
    by 
    the sea 

    But 
    he 
    was 
    always 
    ly
    ing, 

    as 
    selfish 
    as 
    could be 

    So 
    he 
    left her 
    with 
    empty 
    words 

    and 
    painful 
    memor
    ies 

    Now 
    grandpa 
    didn't 
    leave 
    me, 

    money 
    I 
    could spend 

    See, 
    I 
    guess 
    that 
    he 
    didn't 
    have 

    much 
    money 
    in 
    the 
    en
    d 

    My 
    grandpa 
    was 
    an 
    hon
    est 
    man, 

    seeking 
    after 
    truth 

    And 
    grandpa 
    had 
    the 
    kindest 
    eyes, 

    Carolin
    a blues 


    Grandma 
    had 
    a 
    daugh
    ter, 

    and 
    then 
    she had 
    two 
    son
    s 

    And 
    one 
    became 
    my 
    father, 

    when 
    he 
    and Ma 
    were 
    done 

    And 
    I might 
    be the 
    richest 
    man 

    to 
    ever 
    walk 
    this 
    earth 

    Cause 
    I 
    was left 
    with 
    so 
    much 
    more 

    than 
    money 
    could 
    be 
    worth 

    And 
    my 
    dad's 
    just 
    like 
    my 
    grandpa, 

    he's 
    wearing 
    worn 
    out 
    shoes 

    But 
    he's 
    a 
    man 
    that 
    I can 
    trust, 

    al
    ways 
    tell
    s 
    the 
    truth 

    And 
    now 
    may
    be 
    dad 
    won't 
    leave 
    me, 

    money 
    I 
    can spend 

    See, 
    my guess 
    is 
    that he 
    won't 

    have 
    much 
    money 
    in 
    the 
    en
    d 

    But 
    my 
    father 
    is 
    an 
    hon
    est 
    man, 

    seeking 
    after 
    truth 

    And 
    daddy 
    got 
    my 
    grandpa's 
    eyes 

    Car
    olina 
    blues 

    Car
    olina 
    blues 

    Now 
    I am 
    a 
    father
    , 

    I've 
    got 
    three 
    little 
    girls 

    And 
    everything 
    is 
    differ
    ent 

    since 
    they 
    came 
    into 
    the 
    world 

    Fame 
    and 
    fortune 
    seems 
    to 
    me 

    the 
    emptiest 
    pursuit 

    I'd 
    rather 
    know 
    my 
    daughters 
    well 

    and 
    see them 
    grow 
    up 
    too 

    And 
    we 
    all know 
    how 
    time 

    can 
    slip 
    away 
    from 
    you 

    So 
    God 
    help 
    me to 
    be 
    a man 

    that 
    always 
    fol
    lows 
    through 

    I 
    wanna 
    do 
    what 
    I 
    say 
    I'll 
    do 

    And 
    I 
    sure 
    hope 
    I 
    leave 
    them 

    Money 
    they 
    can spend 

    But 
    you 
    know I 
    am 
    a 
    song
    writer 

    So 
    the 
    money's 
    in 
    the 
    wind 

    And 
    like 
    my 
    dad 
    and 
    grandpa 

    I'm 
    seeking 
    after 
    truth 

    And 
    when 
    I look 
    into 
    the 
    mirror 
    I 

    see Carolin
    a 
    blues 

    Grandpa, 
    it 
    makes 
    me 
    think 
    of 
    you 

    These 
    Carolin
    a 
    blues 

    You 
    know 
    all 
    my 
    daughters 

    got 
    them 
    too 

    Carolina 
    Carolina 
    blues

      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.
