    Verse 1
    Gray-haired 
    and 
    and 
    flint-eyed, 

    his 
    his sun
    burned 
    face 
    lined 

    Grandpa 
    was 
    a man 
    of few 
    words 

    He 
    had 
    a way 
    of not 
    want
    ing 
    to say 

    Any 
    more 
    than 
    he thought 
    would 
    be heard

    The 
    long 
    years 
    of living, 

    day-to-day 
    giv
    ing 

    giving 

    giving 

    Had carved 
    out 
    a map 
    on 
    his 
    face 

    With 
    little 
    to lose, 

    he’d learned 
    how 
    to choose 

    And 
    his 
    choices 
    were 
    easy 
    to trace 

    Verse 3
    He 
    had 
    the 
    eyes 
    of a 
    painter 

    Heart 
    of 
    maker 
    of songs 

    His 
    words 
    fell like 
    rain 

    on 
    the dry 
    desert 
    plain 

    Precious 
    and so 
    quickly 
    gone 

    Verse 4

    From a 
    long 
    line 
    of teachers, 

    white 
    Baptist 
    preachers 

    He was 
    born 
    with 
    an In
    di
    an 
    will 

    His 
    quiet 
    dark 
    eyes, 
    read
    ing 
    the light 

    As 
    he rode 
    in 
    the low 
    Os
    age 
    hills 

    Verse 5
    His school 
    was 
    the prairie, 

    the sage, 
    the 
    wild 
    berry 

    The quail, 
    the 
    wide 
    open 
    sky 

    The 
    cottonwood 
    thicket 
    by 

    the slow 
    rolling 
    river 

    The Redbud 
    and 
    the 
    hot 
    cattle 
    drive 

    Verse 6
    He had 
    the 
    eyes 
    of 
    a painter 

    Heart 
    of 
    a maker 
    of songs 

    His 
    words 
    fell 
    like 
    rain 
    on 
    the dry 
    desert 
    plain 

    Precious 
    and so 
    quickly 
    gone 

    Verse 7

    There were 
    days 
    filled 
    with thinking, 

    nights 
    with 
    the drinking 

    For a 
    lost 
    love 
    that 
    raged 
    like 
    a storm 

    Oh, but 
    how 
    his eyes 
    smiled, 

    when 
    he’d talk 
    to 
    a child 

    The rough 
    hands 
    so 

    gentle 
    and 
    warm 

    Verse 8
    His strong 
    arms 
    were 
    brown, 

    where the 
    long 
    sleeves 

    Rolled 
    down, 

    on his 
    faded 
    blue 
    cotton 
    shirt 

    When 
    times 
    got 
    hard, 

    he’d go 
    out 
    in 
    the yard 

    And he'd 
    cuss 
    away 
    some 
    of his 
    hurt 

    Verse 9
    He had 
    the 
    eyes 
    of 
    a painter 

    Heart 
    of 
    a maker 
    of songs 

    His 
    words 
    fell 
    like 
    rain 
    on 
    the dry 
    desert 
    plain 

    Precious 
    and so 
    quickly 
    gone 

    Verse 10

    Now the 
    garden’s grown 
    dusty, 

    hand axe 
    lies 
    rusty 

    The 
    door’s banging 
    hard 
    in 
    the wind 

    Grand
    pa’s store 
    is 
    closed 
    down, 

    like 
    most 
    of 
    the town 

    And it 
    won’t be 
    open 
    again 

    Verse 11
    And 
    the 
    big 
    white 
    car, 

    sits 
    out 
    in 
    the yard 

    Of the 
    house 
    he built 
    solid 
    and 
    true 

    Oh, but 
    see 
    his 
    eyes, 
    burning 
    to
    night 

    Like 
    the stars 
    in 
    the sky 

    he once 
    knew 

    He had 
    the 
    Verse 12
    eyes 
    of a 
    painter 

    Heart 
    of 
    a maker 
    of songs 

    His 
    words 
    fell 
    like 
    rain 
    on 
    the dry 
    desert 
    plain 

    Precious 
    and so 
    quickly 
    gone 

    Verse 13
    His 
    words 
    fell like 
    rain 
    on 
    the dry 
    desert 
    plain 

    Precious 
    and so 
    quickly 
    gone

    • 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.
