  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    was 
    just 
    out 
    of 
    the service, 

    drifting 
    through 
    the coun
    tryside 

    found 
    a field 
    of fireflies 
    to bed 

    down 
    for 
    the night 

    Before 
    fell 
    asleep 
    something 

    caught 
    my 
    eye 

    There was 
    an
    other 
    man 
    in 
    the field, 

    shadow 
    in 
    moonlight 

    Verse 2
    Late 
    in 
    the springtime 
    when 

    the sun 
    goes 
    down 

    You 
    can find 
    him 
    in 
    the field 
    'cross 

    the street 
    from 
    his 
    house 

    Picking 
    him 
    a bouquet 
    underneath 

    a May 
    full 
    moon 

    With aging 
    eyes 
    as misty 

    as 
    an 
    early 
    morning 
    dew 

    Verse 3

    met 
    him 
    through 
    the fireflies, 

    he was 
    kind 
    hearted 
    man 

    And 
    asked 
    about 
    the bouquet 

    as 
    went 
    to shake 
    his 
    hand 

    He 
    told 
    me 
    about 
    his 
    late 
    wife 
    and the flowers 

    that 
    she 
    grew 

    And how springtime 
    was 
    her favorite 

    'Cause 
    that's 
    when 

    everything 
    would 
    bloom 

    Verse 4
    He 
    said, 
    at 

    night 
    I go 
    pickin' 
    a Chero
    kee 
    rose 

    lay 
    'em 
    on 
    her 
    head
    stone 

    'cause she 
    loved 
    them 
    the most 

    No 
    matter 
    how 
    many 
    have 
    won't 
    bring 
    her 
    back, 

    suppose 

    But it 
    makes 
    me feel 
    close 
    to my 
    Cherokee 

    Rose 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    He 
    took me 
    to 
    where 
    she 
    lay 
    low 
    and he said, 

    my 
    dearest 
    Rose 

    lost 
    her 
    giving 
    birth 
    to 

    a boy 
    I'll 
    never 
    know 

    We 
    sat there 
    in 
    the silence 
    as 
    he 
    held 

    hand
    s with 
    her 
    ghost 

    "Until 
    we meet 
    again, 

    the 
    only 
    peace 
    I'll 
    ever 
    know" 

    Verse 6

    He said, 

    at 
    night 
    I go 
    pickin' 
    a Chero
    kee 
    rose 

    lay 
    'em 
    on 
    her 
    head
    stone 

    'cause she 
    loved 
    them 
    the most 

    No 
    matter 
    how 
    many 
    have 
    won't 
    bring 
    her 
    back, 

    suppose 

    But it 
    makes 
    me feel 
    close 

    to my 
    Cherokee 
    Rose 

    Verse 7
    Well, 
    the 
    days 
    went 
    on 
    and the 

    years 
    went 
    by 

    And on 
    rainy 
    autumn 
    day 

    he joined 
    her on 
    the 
    other 
    side 

    But 
    in his 
    will, 

    it was 
    much 
    to my 
    sur
    prise 

    He 
    left 
    me 
    everything 
    he 
    had for 

    just 
    a small 
    price 

    Verse 8

    Oh, it's 
    been 
    thirty-five 
    years 
    years 

    since 
    this 
    land 
    became 
    mine 

    And 
    many 
    things 
    have changed 
    but one 

    thing 
    has 
    stood 
    the test 
    of time 

    spend 
    every 
    spring 
    pickin' 

    flowers 
    with 
    my 
    wife 

    Because 
    he 
    taught 
    me love 
    is one 

    thing 
    that 
    will 
    never 
    die 

    Verse 9

    So, 
    now 
    at 
    night 
    I go 

    picking 
    Chero
    kee 
    rose 

    lay 
    it 
    on 
    his 
    head
    stone 
    'cause 

    he loved 
    her 
    the most 

    No 
    matter 
    how 
    many 
    have 
    won't 

    bring 
    her 
    back 
    suppose 

    But 
    I know that 
    he's 
    close 
    to his 
    Cherokee 

    Rose

    • 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.
