Verse 4

Now friends this song was

written by Frederick Handel

He completed it in less than 90 days

It's one of the great masterpieces

of music of all time

I'm not sure this is the exact arrangement that

C

he had in mind

But this is a song from the messiah

And I'm about to sing you my

favorite verse

Which you might know since I'm so much of a

maverick all the time

That this verse is not sung very often in church,

it's really not popular

And the reason for that is this verse lays out the
F

idea that there is a right and a wrong
C

And there is no grey area

in between
G

Sometimes when I look at the world
C

map these days

They aught'a just say the grey area

I think on the strength of this verse alone,

we can safely conclude
F

That Frederick handle was really an
G

as sembly of god preacher
C

Cause he says:
Verse 5
C

No more let sin and sorrow reign For throne infest the

ground

He comes to bring his righteousness
G

For as the curse is found

  • 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.
