    Verse 1

    Grandma's 
    maiden 
    name 
    was Zona 
    Villines 

    There's 
    ninety 
    years 
    to 
    tell 

    about 
    in a 
    few 
    short 
    lines 

    Born 
    in 
    Newton 
    County 
    down 
    in 
    Arkansas 

    Then 
    in nineteen-one 
    she 

    she 
    married 
    Grand
    pa 

    We 
    laid 
    her soul 
    to 
    rest 

    one 
    Sunday 
    mornin' 

    And 
    everybody 
    knew 
    she'd 

    done 
    her part 

    Don't 
    get set 
    to hear 
    no 

    hidden 
    family 
    le
    gend 

    Just 
    song 
    about 
    the life 

    of Grandma 
    Harp 

    Just 
    think 
    about 
    the 
    times 
    Verse 2

    that she 
    lived 
    through 

    And 
    think 
    about 
    the changing 
    world 
    she 
    saw 

    Now, 
    somehow, 

    she 
    reared 
    a decent 
    family 
    out 
    of poverty 

    And 
    for seventy 
    years 
    she 
    loved 

    the same 
    old Grandpa 

    To me, 
    her passing 
    brought 

    a closing 
    chapter 

    To 
    a way 
    of life 
    that 
    I love 
    within 
    my 
    heart 

    I just 
    mean 
    to say 
    think we 

    owe her 
    something 
    special 

    If 
    just a 
    song 
    about 
    the life 

    of Grandma 
    Harp 

    Verse 3
    Grandma's

    • 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.
