  • Verse 1
    (Dolly 
    Par
    ton) 

    Verse 2
    I know 
    this 
    dress 
    I'm 
    wearing 
    doesn't 
    hide 

    the secret 
    I've 
    tried 
    concealing 

    When 
    he 
    left 
    he promised 
    me 
    he'd be 
    back 

    by the 
    time 
    it 
    was 
    re
    vealing 

    The sun 
    behind 
    a cloud 
    just 
    casts 
    the crawling 

    shadow 
    o'er 
    the 
    field
    s of 
    clover

    And 
    time 
    is 
    running 
    out 
    for me, 

    wish 
    that 
    he 
    would 
    hurry 
    down 
    from 
    Dover 

    He's 
    been 
    gone 
    so 
    long, 

    when 
    he 
    left 
    the snow 
    was 
    deep 
    upon 
    the ground 

    And 
    have seen 
    a spring 
    and 
    summer 
    pass 
    and 

    now 
    the leaves 
    are turn
    ing 
    brown 

    At 
    any 
    time 
    a tiny 
    face 
    will 
    show 
    itself 

    'cause 
    waiting's 
    al
    most 
    over 

    But 
    won't 
    have 
    a name 
    to give 
    it 
    if 
    he 
    doesn't 
    hurry 
    down 
    from 
    Dover, 

    from 
    Dover, from 
    Dover 

    Verse 3
    My folk
    s weren't 
    understanding, 

    when 
    they found 
    out 
    they sen
    t me 
    from 
    the home 
    place 

    My 
    daddy 
    said 
    if folks 
    found 
    out 
    he'd 
    be 

    ashamed 
    to 
    ever 
    show 
    his 
    face 

    My 
    mamma 
    said 
    was 
    a fool, 

    she 
    did not 
    believe 
    it 
    when I 
    told 
    her 

    Momma, 
    everything's 
    gonna 
    be 
    all right 
    'cause 
    soon 

    he 
    would 
    be coming 
    down 
    from 
    Dover 

    I found a place 
    to stay out 
    on a farm takin' 
    care of that 
    old lady 

    She 
    never asked me nuthin' 

    Verse 4
    so I never 

    talked to her about 
    my baby 

    sent a messgae to my 
    mom with a name 

    and address 
    of Ms. ol' 
    Grover 

    And to make 
    sure he got 
    that information 

    when he came 
    down from Dover 

    Verse 5
    I loved 
    him 
    more 
    than 
    anything 
    and I 
    could 

    not 
    re
    fuse 
    him 
    when 
    he needed 
    me 

    He 
    was 
    the 
    only 
    one 
    I'd 
    loved 
    and 
    just 

    can't 
    be
    lieve 
    that 
    he was 
    usin' 
    me 

    He 
    wouldn't 
    leave 
    me 
    here 
    like 
    this, 

    know 
    it can't 
    be so, 
    it can
    't 
    be 
    over 

    He 
    wouldn't 
    make 
    me go 
    through 
    this 
    alone, 

    he'll 
    be coming 
    down 
    from 
    Dover 

    Verse 6
    My 
    body 
    aches 
    the time 
    is 
    here 
    it's 
    lonely 
    in 

    this 
    place 
    where 
    I'm 
    lying 

    Our 
    baby 
    has 
    been 
    born, 
    but 
    something's 
    wrong, 

    it's 
    too 
    still, 
    hear 
    no 
    crying 

    I guess 
    in some 
    strange 
    way 
    she 
    knew 
    she'd 

    never 
    have 
    father's 
    arms 
    to 
    hold 
    her 

    So 
    dying 
    was 
    her 
    way 
    of 
    tellin' 
    me 
    he 
    wasn't 
    coming 
    down 
    from 
    Dover, 

    from 
    Dover, 
    from 
    Dover 

    Down from 
    Dover

    • 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.
