F

the steeple's too big for the churches size

It seems it was a long time ago when
Bb
F

this church had no steeple

Just four walls and the roof overhead
G
C

sheltered the humble people
F

But the money was short cause

the times were bad
Bb
F
C

They had to get along on what they had

Just good simple people
F

praying for a steeple
C

About this time when spring was near a man
F

of weath and his sweetheart dear
Bb
F

Made their plans for the bells to ring they
C
F

would wed on the first of spring

So this man of wealth and his true love
Bb
F

dear named the wedding hours

They would wed in the little church
G

the one that had no towers
F

But he was the kind and generous man
Bb
F
C

he told his true love of his plan

How to build a steeple for
F

these good people
Bb

Yes they'll have their steeple
F

the bells there will ring
C

They'll ring for our wedding
Bb
F

on the first day of spring
C

But they say death comes like a thief and
F

soon his heart was filled with grief
Bb

One week before the wedding day he
F
C
F

learned his love has passed away

in spite of his grief and broken heart
Bb

he kept the promise given

I'll build the steeple so my love

can hear the bells in heaven

And then he built the steeple there
Bb
F
Bb
C

the tallest one in all the land

That's how the people got their steeple

steeple lives so high

And how the bells ring

louder when springtime is nigh

  • 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.
