    Verse 1
    He's 
    worth 
    more 

    Than 
    every 
    star 
    in 
    the sky 

    With 
    that look 
    of 
    forgiveness 

    That's 
    always 
    in 
    his eyes 

    Verse 2
    He 
    works 
    so 
    hard 

    But gentle 
    as 
    a lamb 

    He 
    gave 
    up so 
    much 

    To 
    make 
    me 
    just 
    what 
    I 
    am 
    and, 
    oh 

    Verse 3
    Oh, 
    let 
    me 
    be 

    The 
    man 
    my 
    daddy 
    was 

    Oh, 
    let 
    me 
    be 

    The 
    man 
    my 
    daddy 
    was 

    Verse 4
    When 
    I was 
    young 

    Some
    times 
    foolishly 
    I played 

    But he 
    reached 
    out 
    and, 
    oh 

    Showed 
    me 
    the way 

    Verse 5
    Now 
    he's 
    only 
    human 

    And bound 
    to 
    make 
    mistakes 

    But 
    it was 
    all 
    right 

    By 
    the 
    moment 
    I 
    would 
    awake 
    and, oh 

    Verse 6
    Oh, 
    let 
    me 
    be 

    The 
    man 
    my 
    daddy 
    was 

    Oh, 
    let 
    me 
    be 

    The 
    man 
    my 
    daddy 
    was 

    Verse 7
    Sometimes 
    I 
    hope 

    I 
    don't live 
    to see 
    the day 

    When 
    he 
    reaches 
    down 

    And take 
    them 
    both 
    away 

    Verse 8

    And look 
    at my 
    children 

    Sometimes 
    foolishly 
    they play 

    Let 
    me 
    live 
    long 
    enough 

    Let 
    me 
    show 
    them 
    the way 

    Verse 9
    My 
    clothes 
    were sometimes 
    untidy 

    And that 
    bed 
    was 
    never 

    made 

    But mom 
    and 
    dad 
    would 

    scold 
    me 
    good 

    Never 
    doubted 
    I've 
    made 

    the 
    grade 

    Verse 10
    But now 
    that 
    I'm 
    a 
    man 

    I 
    ask 
    the Lord 
    up 
    above 

    Please 
    let 
    me raise 

    my children 
    right 

    And be the 
    man 
    my daddy 
    was 
    and, oh 

    Verse 11
    Oh, 
    let 
    me 
    be 

    The 
    man 
    my 
    daddy 
    was 

    Oh, 
    let 
    me 
    be 

    The 
    man 
    my 
    daddy 
    was 

    Verse 12
    He was 
    a 
    good 
    man 

    He 
    was a 
    poor 
    man 

    Oh, 
    let 
    me 
    be

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
