    Verse 1
    Lord 
    am 
    working 
    man 

    And 
    music 
    is 
    my 
    trade 

    I'm trav
    eling 
    with 
    this 
    5 piece 
    band 

    play 
    the 
    ace 
    of spades 

    I have 
    wife 
    and 
    family, 

    don't 
    see 
    much 
    of me 

    God 
    bless 
    the 
    absentee 

    Verse 2

    Lord 
    am 
    a surgeon 

    And 
    music 
    is 
    my 
    knife 

    It cuts 
    away 
    my 
    sorrow 

    And pur
    ifies 
    my 
    life 

    But 
    if 
    could 
    release 
    my 
    heart 

    From 
    veins 
    and 
    ar
    teries 

    I'd 
    say 
    God 
    bless 
    the 

    absentee 

    Verse 3

    I miss 
    my 
    woman 
    so 

    mis
    my 
    bed 

    miss 
    those 
    soft 
    places 

    used 
    to lay 
    my 
    head 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 4
    My 
    son 
    don't 
    need 
    me 
    yet 

    His 
    bones 
    are soft 

    He 
    flies 
    silver 
    air
    plane 

    He 
    wears 
    a golden 
    cross 

    Verse 5

    fast 

    The future

    the present 

    The present's 
    in 
    the past 

    The highways 
    are 
    in litiga
    tion 

    The 
    airports 
    dis
    agree 

    God 
    bless 
    the 
    absent
    ee

    • 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.
