  • Verse 1
    When 
    Robert 
    E Lee 
    surrendered 
    the Confederacy 

    Jefferson 
    Davis 
    was 
    upset 
    about 
    it 

    He said 
    how 
    dare that 
    man 

    resent 
    an order 

    Form 
    the pres
    ident 
    of 
    the Confederate 

    States 
    of America 

    Then somebody 
    told 
    him that 
    General 
    Lee 

    had made 
    the decision 
    himself 

    In order 
    to 
    save 
    lives 
    because 
    he felt 

    that 
    the battle 
    comin' 
    up 

    Would cost 
    about 
    twenty 
    thousand 

    lives 
    on 
    both sides 

    And he said 
    two 
    hundred 
    and forty 

    thousand 
    dead 
    already 
    is 
    enough 

    So this 
    song 
    is 
    not 
    about 
    the North 
    or the South 

    but about 
    the 
    bloody 
    brother 
    war 

    Brother 
    against 
    brother 
    father 
    against 

    son 
    the 
    war 
    that nobody 
    won 

    And 
    for 
    all those 
    lives 
    that were 
    saved 

    gotta 
    say 
    Dod 
    bless 
    Robert 
    E Lee 

    Well the 
    mansion 
    where 
    the General 

    used 
    to live 
    is 
    burning 
    down 

    Cotton 
    fields 
    are 
    blue 

    with Sherman's 
    troupes 

    overheard 
    a Yankee 
    say 

    yesterday 
    Nashville 
    fell 

    So 
    I'm 
    on 
    my 
    way 
    to join 
    the fight 

    General 
    Lee 
    might 
    need 
    my 
    help 

    But 
    look 
    away 
    look 
    away 
    Dixie 

    don't 
    want 
    them 
    to see 

    What 
    they're 
    doing 
    to 
    my 
    Dixie 
    God 

    bless 
    Robert 
    E Lee 

    Sherman's 
    troupes 
    burned 
    Atlanta 

    and 
    the flames 
    lit 
    up 
    the sky 

    And 
    those 
    of us 
    who 
    survived 
    it 

    are watchin' 
    my 
    Dixie 
    die 

    But 
    today 
    at 
    Appamattox General 

    Lee 
    sat 
    down 

    And 
    surrender 
    to 
    the Yankees 

    and 
    Ulysees S 
    Grant 

    So 
    look 
    away 
    look 
    away 
    Dixie... 

    won't 
    ever 
    stop 
    loving 
    you 
    my 
    Dixie 

    till 
    they 
    put me 
    in 
    the ground 

    And 
    the last 
    words 
    they probably 
    hear 

    from 
    me 
    are 
    God 
    bless 
    Robert 
    Lee

    • 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.
