    If 
    die 
    young, 
    bury 
    me 
    in 
    satin 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 
    on 
    bed 
    of 
    roses 

    Sink 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    river 
    at 
    dawn 

    Send 
    me 
    away 
    with 
    the 
    words 
    of 
    love 
    song 

    Oh- 
    oh, 
    oh- 
    oh 

    Verse 1
    Lord, 
    make 
    me 
    rainbow, 

    I'll 
    shine 
    down 
    on 
    my 
    mother 

    She'll 
    know 
    I'm 
    safe 
    with 
    you 

    when 
    she 
    stands 
    under 
    my 
    colors 

    Oh, 
    and 
    life 
    ain't 
    always 

    what 
    you 
    think 
    it 
    ought 
    to 
    be, 
    no 

    Ain't 
    even 
    gray, 
    but 
    she 
    buries 
    her 
    baby 

    The 
    sharp 
    knife 
    of 
    short 
    life 

    Well, 
    I've 
    had 
    just 
    enough 
    time 

    Chorus 2
    If 
    die 
    young, 
    bury 
    me 
    in 
    satin 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 
    on 
    bed 
    of 
    roses 

    Sink 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    river 
    at 
    dawn 

    Send 
    me 
    away 
    with 
    the 
    words 
    of 
    love 
    song 

    The 
    sharp 
    knife 
    of 
    short 
    life 

    Well, 
    I've 
    had 
    just 
    enough 
    time 

    Verse 2
    And 
    I'll 
    be 
    wearing 
    white 

    when 
    come 
    into 
    your 
    kingdom 

    I'm 
    as 
    green 
    as 
    the 
    ring 
    on 
    my 
    little 
    cold 
    finger 

    I've 
    never 
    known 
    the 
    lovin' 
    of 
    man 

    But 
    it 
    sure 
    felt 
    nice 

    when 
    he 
    was 
    holding 
    my 
    hand 

    There's 
    boy 
    here 
    in 
    town, 

    says 
    he'll 
    love 
    me 
    forever 

    Who 
    would 
    have 
    thought 

    for
    ever 
    could 
    be 
    severed 
    by 

    The 
    sharp 
    knife 
    of 
    short 
    life 

    Well, 
    I've 
    had 
    just 
    enough 
    time 

    Solo 1


    Bridge 1
    So 
    put 
    on 
    your 
    best, 
    boys, 

    and 
    I'll 
    wear 
    my 
    pearls 

    What 
    never 
    did 
    is 
    done 

    Verse 3
    penny 
    for 
    my 
    thoughts, 
    oh 
    no, 

    I'll 
    sell 
    'em 
    for 
    dollar 

    They're 
    worth 
    so 
    much 
    more 
    after 
    I'm 
    goner 

    And 
    maybe 
    then 
    you'll 
    hear 

    the 
    words 
    I've 
    been 
    singin' 

    Funny 
    when 
    you're 
    dead, 

    how 
    people 
    start 
    listenin' 


    Chorus 3
    If 
    die 
    young, 
    bury 
    me 
    in 
    satin 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 
    on 
    bed 
    of 
    roses 

    Sink 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    river 
    at 
    dawn 

    Send 
    me 
    away 
    with 
    the 
    words 
    of 
    love 
    song 

    Oh- 
    oh 
    (oh-oh) 
    the 
    ballad 
    of 
    dove 

    Go 
    with 
    peace 
    and 
    love 

    Gather 
    up 
    your 
    tears, 
    keep 
    'em 
    in 
    your 
    pocket 

    Save 
    'em 
    for 
    time 

    when 
    you're 
    really 
    gonna 
    need 
    'em, 
    oh 

    The 
    sharp 
    knife 
    of 
    short 
    life

    • 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.
