    Oh

    While 
    sixteen 
    liveried 
    employees 
    sell 

    souvenirs 
    from 
    the funeral 
    store 

    Verse 2
    want 
    to go 
    simply 
    when

    They'll

    a simple

    there 
    know 

    With 
    casket 
    lined 
    in 
    fleece 

    And 
    fireworks 
    spelling 
    out 
    "rest 
    in 
    peace" 

    Oh

    they have 
    a heavenly

    and a military 
    band 
    there 

    Just 
    put 
    me 
    in their

    simple 

    funeral 
    there

    contribution 
    in 
    the 
    pail 

    Be 
    as 
    simple 
    and 
    as 
    trusting 

    as 
    child 
    would 

    And 
    we'll 
    sell 
    you 
    the 
    church 
    in 
    the dale 

    To 
    find

    cast 
    in

    • 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.
