    Interlude 1


    Verse 1
    He 
    came 
    to 
    town 
    like 
    midwinter 
    storm 

    He 
    rode 
    through 
    the 
    fields, 

    so 
    handsome 
    and 
    strong 

    His 
    eyes 
    was 
    his 
    tools 

    so 
    his 
    smile 
    was 
    his 
    gun 

    But 
    all 
    he 
    had 
    come 
    for 
    was 
    having 
    some 
    fun

    Verse 2
    He 
    brought 
    disaster 
    wherever 
    he 
    went 

    The 
    hearts 
    of 
    the 
    girls 

    was 
    to 
    hell 
    broken 
    sent 

    They 
    all 
    ran 
    away 
    so 
    nobody 
    would 
    know 

    And 
    left

    'cause 
    of 
    Cotton-Eyed 
    Joe

    • 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.
