    Verse 1
    We 
    got 

    up 
    before 
    sunup 
    to 
    get 
    the 
    work 
    done 
    up 

    We'd 
    work 
    in 
    the 
    fields 
    till 
    the 

    sun 
    had 
    gone 
    down 

    We've 
    stood 
    and 
    we've 
    cried 

    as 
    we 
    helplessly 
    watched 

    hailstorm 
    beatin' 
    our 

    crops 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    Verse 2

    And 
    I've 
    gone 
    to 
    bed 
    hungry 

    many 
    nights 
    as 
    a lad 

    In 
    the 
    good 
    old 
    days 
    when 

    times 
    were 
    bad 

    I've 
    seen 
    daddy's 
    hands 

    break 
    open 
    and 
    bleed 

    And 
    I've 
    seen 
    him 
    work 
    till 

    he's 
    stiff 
    as 
    a board 

    Verse 3

    I've 
    seen 
    mama 
    lay 
    and 

    suf
    fer 
    in 
    sick
    ness 

    In 
    need 
    of 
    doctor 
    we 
    couldn't 
    af
    ford 

    Any
    thing 
    at 
    all 
    was 
    more 
    than 
    we 
    had 

    In 
    the good 
    old 
    days 
    when 

    times 
    were 
    bad 

    Verse 4

    No 
    ammount of 
    money 
    could 

    buy 
    from 
    me 

    The mem'ries 
    that 
    have 
    of 
    them 

    No 
    ammount of 
    money 
    could 
    pay 
    me 

    To 
    go 
    back 
    and live 
    through 
    it 
    again 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    We've 
    got 
    up 
    be
    fore 
    we 

    found 
    ice 
    on 
    the floor 

    Where 
    the 
    wind 
    would blew 
    snow 

    Through 
    the 
    cracks 
    in the 
    wall 

    And I've 
    walked 
    many 
    miles 

    to 
    an old 
    country 
    school 

    With 
    my 
    luch in 
    a bag 
    of 
    my 
    over
    alls 

    Any
    thing 
    at 
    all 
    was 
    more 
    than 
    we

    In 
    the good 
    old 
    days 
    when 

    times 
    were 
    bad 

    Verse 6

    No 
    ammount of

    • 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.
