    Verse 1
    Late 
    one 
    night 
    when the 
    wind 
    was 
    still 

    Daddy 
    brought the 
    baby 
    to the 
    window 
    sill 

    To 
    see 
    a bit 
    of heaven 

    shoot across 
    the 
    sky 

    The 
    one 
    and only 
    time 
    daddy 
    saw 
    it 
    fly 

    Verse 2
    It 
    came 
    from the 
    east 

    just as 
    bright 
    as 
    torch 

    The 
    neighbors 
    had 
    party 

    on their 
    porch 

    Daddy 
    rocked 
    the baby, 
    mother 
    said 
    amen 

    When 
    Halley 
    came to 
    visit 
    in 


    1910 

    Verse 3
    Now, back 
    then 
    Jackson 

    was 
    real 
    small 
    town 

    And it's 
    not 
    every 
    night 

    comet 
    comes 
    around 

    It was 
    almost 
    eighty 
    years 

    since 
    it
    s last 
    time 
    through 

    So I 
    bet your 
    mother 

    would have 
    said 
    amen 
    too 

    As 
    its 
    tail 
    stretched 
    Verse 4
    out 
    like 

    stardust 
    streak 

    The pa
    pers 
    wrote 
    about 

    it every 
    day 
    for 
    week 

    You 
    wondered 
    where 
    it's going 

    and 
    where 
    it's 
    been 

    When 
    Halley 
    came to 
    Jack
    son in 
    1910 

    Now 
    Verse 5


    daddy 

    told the 
    baby 
    sleeping 
    in 
    his 
    arms 

    To 
    dream 
    a little dream 
    of 

    a comet's 
    charms 

    And 
    he made a little 
    wish 

    as she slept so 
    sound 

    In 
    1986 that wish came 
    'round 

    Verse 6
    It 
    came from 
    the east just 

    as 
    bright 
    as a 
    torch 

    She 
    saw it in 
    the 
    sky from 

    her 
    daddy's 
    porch 

    As 
    heavenly 
    sent as 
    it 
    was back 
    then 

    When 
    Halley came 
    to 
    Jackson 
    in 
    1910 

    And 
    Verse 7

    late one 
    night 
    when the 
    wind was 
    still

    • 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.
