    I 
    was 
    standing 
    by 

    my 
    window 

    yesterday 
    morn
    ing 

    Without 
    a 
    thought 
    of 
    worry 
    or 
    of 
    care 

    When 
    I 
    saw 
    the 
    postman 

    coming 
    up 
    the 
    pathway 

    With 
    such 
    a 
    smiling 
    face 
    and 
    jolly 
    air 

    He 
    rang 
    the 
    bell 
    and 

    whistled 
    as 
    he 
    waited 

    He 
    smiled 
    and 
    said, 

    good 
    morning 
    to 
    you 
    Jack 

    But 
    he 
    little 
    knew 
    the 
    sorrow 

    that 
    he gave 
    me 

    When 
    he 
    handed 
    me 
    the 

    letter 
    etched 
    in 
    black 

    An
    d 
    with 
    trembling 
    hands 

    I 
    took 
    the 
    letter 
    from 
    him 

    I 
    opened 
    it 
    and 
    here 
    is 
    what 
    it 
    said 

    Come 
    home 
    my 
    boy, 

    your 
    dear 
    old 
    father 
    need
    s 
    you 

    Come 
    home, 
    my boy, 

    your 
    dear 
    old 
    mother
    's 
    dead 

    These 
    word
    s 
    the 
    last 
    your 

    mother 
    ever 
    uttered 

    Word 
    tell, 
    my 
    boy, 

    I 
    want 
    him 
    to 
    come 
    back

    My 
    eyes 
    are 
    blurred, 

    my 
    poor 
    heart 
    nearly 
    breaking 

    As 
    I'm 
    writing 
    you 
    this 
    letter, 

    edged 
    in 
    black 

    Then 
    I 
    bowed 
    my 
    head 

    in 
    silence 
    and 
    in 
    sorrow 

    The 
    sunshine 
    in 
    my 
    life, 
    it 
    all 
    has 
    left 

    Since 
    the 
    postman 
    brought 
    that 
    letter 

    yes
    terday 
    morning 

    Saying 
    come 
    home 
    my 
    boy, 

    your 
    dear 
    old 
    mother's 
    dead 

    Those 
    harsh 
    words, 

    I'm 
    sorry 
    they 
    were 
    spoken 

    You 
    know 
    I 
    didn't 
    mean 
    them, 

    don't 
    you 
    Jack? 

    The 
    angels 
    bear 
    me 
    witness, 

    I 
    am 
    asking 

    Your 
    for
    giveness 
    in 
    the 
    letter 

    edged 
    in 
    blood

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
