  • Verse 1
    I heard 
    the bells 
    on 
    Christmas 
    day 

    Their 
    old 
    fa
    mili
    ar 
    carols 
    play 

    And 
    wild 
    and 
    sweet 
    their 

    word
    repeat 

    Peace 
    on 
    the 
    earth 
    good will 
    to men 

    Verse 2

    And 
    in 
    despair 
    bowed 
    my 
    head 

    There 
    is 
    no 
    peace 
    on 
    earth 
    I said 

    For 
    hate is 
    strong 
    and 
    mocks 
    the song 

    Of 
    peace 
    on 
    earth, 

    good will 
    to men 

    Verse 3

    Then 
    answered 
    those 
    bells, 
    loud 
    and 
    deep 

    God 
    is 
    not 
    dead, 
    nor 
    does 
    he sleep 

    The 
    wrong 
    shall 
    fail, 
    and the 
    right 
    pre
    vail 

    With 
    peace 
    on 
    earth, 

    good 
    will 
    to men 

    Verse 4

    Ya know, 
    I like 
    the way 
    folks 
    used to 
    do 

    Back 
    when cattle 
    was 
    plenty 

    and folks 
    was 
    few 

    Everybody 
    would gather 

    from far 
    and 
    near 

    An
    barbecue'em a 
    big fat 
    steer 

    The kids 
    they liked 
    staying' awake 
    because 
    well, 


    They reckon 
    they might 
    catch Santa 
    Claus 

    In 
    the morning 
    they'd come 

    racing 
    down 
    to see 

    What 
    Santa'd gone and 
    left 

    underneath 
    that tree 

    It was Christ
    mas 
    back in 

    those days 

    For the rich 
    and 
    for 
    the 
    poor 

    And every 
    grandchild 

    had an open 
    door 

    And the 
    old 
    cowboy 
    who came 

    on the 
    company 
    horse 

    Was treated 
    the same 
    as the owner 

    or 
    the boss 

    You see nobody 
    seemed 
    to have 
    care 

    He 
    was in among 
    friends 
    or he 
    wasn't 
    there 

    Of 
    course some 
    have 
    new boots 

    they sure 
    would admire 

    As 
    they 
    warmed 
    their feet 

    in front 
    of the fire 

    And the women 
    folk 
    they had 

    new 
    clothes 
    too 

    But 
    not like 
    the women 
    of Austin, 

    TX did 

    Sometimes 
    right 
    in the middle 
    of the party 

    An 
    old 
    stranger 
    would come 

    riding 
    in 

    We always 
    wondered 
    who he 

    was 
    and 
    where 
    he'd been 

    And 
    as the years 
    rolled 
    on 
    an
    d on 

    We'd 
    always 
    wondered 
    where that 
    old stranger 

    with 
    the long 
    beard 
    had 
    gone 

    Well maybe 
    it's like 
    the book 

    of Corinthians 

    Where it says 
    something 
    in there 

    Sometimes 
    you 
    get visited 
    by 
    an angel 

    and you're 
    not even 
    aware 

    So 
    I still 
    recall 
    that Christmas 
    night 

    The 
    tops 
    of the mountain

    s capped 
    with white 

    And the stars 
    so bright 
    they seemed 
    ablaze 

    As the foothills 
    were swimming 

    in a 
    silver 
    haze 

    Now those 
    good ol' 
    days 
    are mostly 
    tasked 
    and 

    goneTime and the world 
    and change 
    goes on 

    And I reckon 
    we can't 
    do 
    things 
    quite 

    like we 
    used to 
    do 

    Back when 
    cattle 
    was 
    plenty 

    in 
    Texas 

    Outro 1
    And shopping 
    malls 
    and 
    condos were few

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
