    Verse 1
    In 
    the spring 
    of 

    1856, with 
    the snow 
    still 
    on 
    the ground 

    Two 
    little 
    boys 
    were lost 
    in 

    the mountains 
    above 
    the town 

    The father 
    went 
    out 
    hunting, 

    the boys 
    had 
    stayed 
    be
    hind 

    While 
    mother 
    tended 
    to 
    her 
    chores, 

    they 
    wandered 
    from 
    her 
    side 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    The two 
    had 
    gone 
    to 
    follow 
    him 

    and 
    lost 
    their 
    way 
    in
    stead 

    By 
    dusk 
    the 
    boys 
    had 
    not 
    been 
    found 

    and 
    fear 
    had 
    turned 
    to 
    dread 

    Two 
    hundred 
    men 
    had 
    gathered 
    there 

    to comb 
    the mountain
    side 

    The fires 
    were 
    built 
    on 
    the highest 
    peak 

    in 
    hopes 
    they'd 
    see 
    the light 

    Verse 3

    Oh 
    mommy 
    and 
    daddy, 

    why 
    can't 
    you 
    hear 
    our 
    cries? 

    The day 
    is 
    almost 
    over, 

    soon 
    it 
    will 
    be 
    night 

    We're 
    so 
    cold 
    and 
    hungry, 

    and 
    our 
    feet 
    are 
    tired 
    and 
    sore 

    We 
    promise 
    not 
    to 
    stray 
    again 
    from 
    our 

    cabin 
    door 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 4
    Now 
    Jacob 
    Diverd woke 
    one 
    night 

    from 
    a strange 
    and 
    eerie 
    dream 

    He 
    saw 
    a path 
    between 
    two 
    hills 
    near 

    a dark 
    and swollen 
    stream 

    He 
    told 
    his 
    wife 
    he 
    saw 
    the 
    boys 

    huddled 
    close 
    beside 
    lo

    For 
    two 
    more 
    nights 
    the 
    dream 
    returned 

    this 
    vision 
    sen
    t from 
    God 

    Verse 5

    Oh 
    mommy 
    and 
    daddy, 

    why 
    can't 
    you 
    hear 
    our 
    cries? 

    The day 
    is 
    almost 
    over, 

    soon 
    it 
    will 
    be 
    night 

    We're 
    so 
    cold 
    and 
    hungry, 

    and 
    our 
    feet 
    are 
    tired 
    and 
    sore 

    We 
    promise 
    not 
    to 
    stray 
    again 
    from 
    our 
    cabin 
    door

    of 
    pop's 
    creek 

    But 
    Jacob's 
    wife 
    knew 
    of 
    this 

    place 
    and said 
    to 
    travel 
    east 

    With

    to take 
    him 
    there 
    Jacob

    in 
    Heaven

    • 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.
