    Verse 1
    canvas-covered 
    cabin 

    in 
    crowded 
    labour 
    camp 

    Stand 
    out 
    in 
    this 
    memory 
    re
    vived 

    'Cause 
    my 
    daddy 
    raised 
    family 
    there, 

    with 
    two 
    hard-working 
    hands 

    And 
    tried 
    to 
    feed 
    my 
    mama's 
    hungry 
    eyes 

    Verse 2
    He 
    dreamed 
    of 
    something 
    better, 

    and 
    my 
    mama's 
    faith 
    was 
    strong 

    And 
    us 
    kids 
    were 
    just 
    too 
    young 
    to 
    real
    ize 

    That 
    an
    other 
    class 
    of 
    people 

    put 
    us 
    somewhere 
    just 
    be
    low 

    One 
    more 
    reason 
    for 
    my 
    mama's 
    hungry 
    eyes 

    Chorus 1
    Mama 
    never 
    had 
    the 
    luxuries 
    she 
    wanted 

    But 
    it 
    wasn't 
    'cause 
    my 
    daddy 
    didn't 
    try 

    She 
    only 
    wanted 
    things 
    she 
    really 
    needed 

    One 
    more 
    reason 
    for 
    my 
    mama's 
    hungry 
    eyes 

    Verse 3
    re
    member 
    daddy 
    praying 

    for 
    better 
    way 
    of 
    life 

    But 
    don't 
    recall 
    change 
    of 
    any 
    size 

    Just 
    little 
    loss 
    of 
    courage, 

    as 
    their 
    age 
    began 
    to 
    show 

    And 
    more 
    sadness 
    in 
    my 
    mama's 
    hungry 
    eyes 

    Chorus 2
    Mama 
    never 
    had 
    the 
    luxuries 
    she 
    wanted 

    But 
    it 
    wasn't 
    'cause 
    my 
    daddy 
    didn't 
    try 

    She 
    only 
    wanted 
    things 
    she 
    really 
    needed 

    One 
    more 
    reason 
    for 
    my 
    mama's 
    hungry 
    eyes 

    Oh, 
    still 
    recall 
    my 
    mama's 
    hungry 
    eyes

    • 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.
