    Oh,

    in 
    tan, 
    yeah

    though 
    he 
    only 
    stood 

    about 
    a five 
    feet 
    seven 

    My 
    daddy 
    was 
    a 
    heck 
    of 
    a man, 

    yes, 
    he was, 
    y'all 

    Verse 2
    He 
    loved 
    us 
    all 
    and 
    we 
    knew 
    it, 
    yeah 

    Though 
    he 
    showed 
    it 
    in 
    a 

    very 
    funny 
    way 

    For most 
    of 
    the time 
    he 
    was 
    a- 

    cussin' 
    and 
    fussin'

    had 
    to say 

    Daddy

    one 
    thing 
    daddy 
    sure 
    could 
    do 
    right 

    Verse 4
    He 
    could swear 

    Oh, 
    Lord, 
    I 
    declare 

    Yes, 
    he could, 
    y'all

    Verse 5
    I still 
    remember

    the 
    backyard 

    Just 
    a- 
    pickin' 
    and 
    a- paintin' 
    away 

    Ooh,

    brothers 
    and 

    sisters 
    still 
    talk 
    about 

    How 
    daddy 
    lost 
    his 
    temper 
    that 
    day 

    You see, 
    he 
    built 
    a 
    picket 
    fence 

    from 
    the 
    garage 
    to 
    the 
    house 

    Verse 6
    Well, 
    Sam, 
    tell 
    me 
    what 
    I 
    say 

    The 
    same 
    day 
    the 
    garbage 
    man 

    backed 
    into 
    the 
    fence 

    And 
    the 
    whole 
    darn 
    thing 
    gave 
    way

      "

      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

      "

      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.
