Grandpa was a preacher,

and he led the singing too

Grandma used to yodel
G

and tell us what to do
A
G
Gsus2
D

Grandpa drove a limousine,
G
Gsus2
D

but just on Saturdays
G
D

He'd tell the crying families
G

about Je sus by the grave
A
G
D

He was always smiling and
G

D

whistling a tune
G

Grandpa had the kindest eyes,

And once I knew this girl
D
G
Gsus2

whose grandpa was a millionaire
D
G
D

And when he kicked the bucket,
G

well, she was the only heir
A
G
D

An d he left her with everything,
G
D

more than she could dream
G
D

Truckloads full of money,
G

with the castle by the sea
A
G
D

But he was always lying,
G
D

as selfish as could be
G
D

So he left her with empty words
G
Em
D

and painful memories
G
D

Now grandpa didn't leave me,
A

money I could spend
D
G
D

See, I guess that he didn't have
G
A

much money in the end
G
D

My grandpa was an honest man,
A

seeking after truth
G

And grandpa had the kindest eyes,

Grandma had a daughter,
G

and then she had two sons
G
Gsus2
D

And one became my father,
G

when he and Ma were done
A
G
D

And I might be the richest man
G

to ever walk this earth
D
G
D

Cause I was left with so much more
G

than money could be worth
A
G
D

And my dad's just like my grandpa,
G
D

he's wearing worn out shoes
G
Gsus2
D

But he's a man that I can trust,
G
Em
D

always tells the truth
G
D

And now maybe dad won't leave me,
A

money I can spend
D
G
D

See, my guess is that he won't
G
A

have much money in the end
G
D

But my father is an honest man,
A
D

seeking after truth
G
D
G
D

And daddy got my grandpa's eyes

Now I am a father,
G

I've got three little girls
D
G
D

And everything is different
G

since they came into the world
A
G
D

Fame and fortune seems to me
G

the emptiest pursuit
D
G

I'd rather know my daughters well
D
G

and see them grow up too
A
G
D

And we all know how time
G
D

can slip away from you
G
D

So God help me to be a man
G
Em

that always follows through
D
G
Em
D

I wanna do what I say I'll do
G
D

And I sure hope I leave them
A
D

Money they can spend
G
D

But you know I am a songwriter
G
A

So the money's in the wind
G
D

And like my dad and grandpa
A
D

I'm seeking after truth
G
D

And when I look into the mirror I
G
Em
D

see Carolina blues
G
Em

Grandpa, it makes me think of you
D
G
Em

These Carolina blues

You know all my daughters

got them too

  • 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.
