    Verse 1
    Oh, 

    come all 
    ye 
    young 
    people 
    and 
    listen 
    while 
    tell 

    The fate 
    of 
    Floyd 
    Collins, 

    the 
    lad 
    we 
    all 
    knew 
    well 

    His 
    face 
    was 
    fair 
    and 
    handsome, 

    his 
    heart 
    was 
    true 
    and 
    brave 

    His 
    body 
    now 
    lies 
    sleeping 
    in a 
    lonely 

    sandstone 
    cave 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    mother 
    don't 
    you 
    worry, 

    dear 
    father 
    don't' be sad 

    I'll 
    tell 
    you 
    all 
    my 
    troubles 

    in 
    an 
    awful 
    dream 
    had 

    dreamed 
    was 
    prisoner, 

    my 
    life 
    could 
    not 
    save 

    cried 
    "oh, 
    must 
    perish 
    with
    in 
    this 
    silent 

    cave" 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 3

    The rescue 
    party 
    labored, 

    they worked 
    both 
    night 
    and day 

    To 
    move 
    the 
    mighty 
    barrier 

    that 
    stood 
    within 
    their way 

    To 
    rescue 
    Floyd 
    Collins, 

    it 
    was 
    their 
    battle 
    cry 

    "We'll 
    never, 
    no 
    we'll 
    never, 

    let 
    Floyd 
    Collins 
    die" 

    Verse 4

    But 
    on 
    that 
    fateful 
    morning, 

    the 
    sun 
    rose 
    in 
    the sky 

    The 
    workers 
    still 
    were 
    busy, 

    "we'll 
    save 
    him 
    by 
    and by" 

    But 
    oh 
    how sad 
    the 
    ending, 

    his 
    life 
    could 
    not 
    be saved 

    His 
    body 
    was then 
    sleeping 
    in 
    the 

    lonely 
    sandstone 
    cave 

    Verse 5

    Young 
    people, 
    all 
    take 
    warning 

    from 
    Floyd 
    Collin's 
    fate 

    And 
    get right 
    with 
    your maker 

    be
    fore 
    it 
    is 
    too 
    late 

    It 
    may not 
    be 
    a Sand 
    Cave 
    in 

    which 
    we find 
    our 
    tomb 

    But 
    on that 
    day 
    of 
    judgment, 

    we too 
    must 
    meet 
    our 
    doom

    • 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.
