    Verse 1
    When 
    they 
    carried 

    you 
    into 
    the 
    parlor 

    Your 
    wounds 
    were 
    the 
    worst 
    I'd 
    seen 

    Cold 
    as 
    snow 
    as your 
    body 
    trembled 

    Cradled 
    in 
    the 
    arms 
    of 
    morphine 

    All 
    the 
    kinfolk 
    cried 
    out 
    loud 

    "Good 
    Shepherd 
    save 
    this 
    man" 

    But 
    you 
    whispered 
    with 
    icy 
    breath 

    "It 
    is 
    not 
    in 
    His 
    hands," 

    and 
    you 
    said 

    "Heaven 
    ain't 
    ready 
    for 
    me 
    yet," 

    and 
    you 
    looked 
    at 
    me 

    "Give 
    me 
    your 
    heart 
    and 
    take 
    bet," 

    and 
    you 
    held 
    my 
    hand 

    "Now 
    I've 
    seen 
    your 
    face, 

    now 
    that 
    we've 
    met 

    "I shall 
    not 
    slip 
    away" 

    Mama 
    said 
    to 
    me, 
    "daughter 

    "You 
    must 
    nurse 
    your 
    cousin 
    well" 

    So 
    cared 
    for 
    you 
    through 

    days 
    and 
    nights 

    But 
    your 
    fever 
    did 
    not 
    quell 

    For weeks 
    watched 
    you 
    suffer 
    pain 

    That 
    no 
    laudanum 
    could 
    ease 

    All 
    had 
    left 
    to 
    do 
    is 
    pray 

    "Lord 
    have 
    mercy 
    on 
    him 
    please," 

    and 
    you 
    said 

    "Heaven 
    ain't 
    ready 
    for 
    me 
    yet," 

    and 
    you 
    looked 
    at 
    me 

    "Give 
    me 
    your 
    heart 
    and 
    take 
    bet," 

    and 
    you 
    held 
    my 
    hand 

    "Now 
    I've 
    seen 
    your 
    face, 

    now 
    that 
    we've 
    met 

    "I shall 
    not 
    slip 
    away" 

    Now 
    winter's 
    lights 
    has 
    cooled 
    the 
    air 

    At 
    last 
    your 
    strength's 
    returned 

    You talk 
    to me 
    of 
    the 
    life 
    you 
    spent 

    An
    d of 
    the life 
    you've 
    earned 

    You'll 
    waste 
    no 
    time 
    on 
    vengeance 

    You've 
    no 
    wish 
    to 
    fight 
    again 

    "To 
    find 
    peace," 
    you 
    say, 

    "In 
    God 
    we 
    trust 

    "But 
    little 
    faith 
    in 
    Man" 

    Heaven 
    ain't' ready 
    for 
    you 
    yet, 
    Jesse 

    I'll 
    give 
    you 
    my 
    heart, 

    I'll 
    take 
    bet, 
    Jesse 

    Now 
    I've 
    seen 
    your 
    face, 

    now 
    that 
    we've 
    met 

    Outro 1
    I shall 
    not 
    slip 
    away

    • 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.
