    There

    Verse 1

    1862 

    Who 
    fell 
    in 
    Love 
    with 
    a 
    southern 
    belle 

    where 
    the 
    sweet 
    magnolias 
    bloom 

    He 
    wondered 
    why 
    folks 
    laughed 
    at 

    him 
    when 
    he 
    went 
    ridin' 
    by 

    But 
    little 
    did 
    he 
    know that 
    she 
    was 

    a 
    courtin' 
    on 
    the sly.

    He 
    walked 
    her 
    up 
    the mountain 

    he 
    named 
    it 
    to 
    her 
    there 

    He 
    offered 
    her 
    a band 
    of 
    gold 

    and 
    his 
    name 
    to share 

    She said 
    that 
    she 
    would marry 

    him 
    and 
    even 
    set 
    the 
    day 

    But 
    little 
    did 
    he 
    know 
    that 
    she 
    loved 

    a 
    soldier 
    boy 
    in

    time. 

    Verse 5

    She 
    took 
    the 
    love 
    he 
    offered 

    she 
    took 
    his 
    silver 
    too 

    She 
    took 
    every 
    little 
    thing 
    from 

    Cornel 
    dressed 
    in 
    blue 

    She 
    wouldn't 
    let 
    him 
    hold 
    her 

    in 
    a 
    fond 
    embrace 

    And when 
    he 
    tried 
    to 
    kiss 
    his

    she 
    laughed 
    right 
    in 
    his 
    face.

    He 
    woke 
    up 
    one 
    morning 
    and 

    found 
    himself 
    alone 

    And all 
    she 
    left 
    was 
    a 
    letter 
    that 
    said 

    good
    bye 
    farewell 
    I'm 
    gone 

    No 
    doubt 
    he 
    was 
    a 
    mighty 
    man 

    where 
    the 
    heroes 
    fell 

    But all 
    is 
    fare 
    in 
    love 
    and 
    war 
    and 
    he 

    lost 
    his 
    southern 
    belle.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
