    Bm

    (God put a song in the heart of an angel
    Em
    A
    D
    Bm
    D

    and softly she sang it to me)
    A

    I get to thinkin' lotta times
    D

    about when I was a lad
    G

    Of the old home place where I grew up
    D

    of the days both good and bad
    Bm
    E

    My overalls were hand- me- downs
    A

    shoes full of holes
    Bm
    A
    D

    I used to walk four miles to school every day
    G

    through the rain the sleet and the cold

    I've seen the nights

    when my daddy would cry
    D

    For the things that his
    Bm

    family would need
    Em
    Am
    D

    But all he ever got was a badlandfarm
    G
    D

    and seven hungry mouths to feed
    Bm

    And yet and somehow our
    Em

    homefire never flickered once
    A
    D

    Cause when all the things went wrong

    Mama took the hymn book down
    Bm

    and mama sang a song
    D

    (What a friend we have
    G
    D

    in Jesus)

    I've been rocked to sleep many a night

    to the tune of What a Friend
    A

    Morning come Rock of Ages it

    gently wake me once again
    D

    Then daddy'd reach up and take the

    Bible down and he'd read it
    G

    Read it loud and strong

    And I always felt that maybe
    D

    our home was blessed

    When daddy'd say mama
    A
    D

    sing a song
    Em
    D
    G

    Sister left home first I guess then
    D
    G

    Bob and Tommy and Dan
    C

    By then dad's hair was turning grey

    and I had to be mama's little man
    G

    But it seemed that when dad grew
    D

    weak mom's faith grew strong
    G

    And I think those were the greatest days

    of all when mama sang a song
    C
    G
    C
    G

    (Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide
    D
    G
    D
    Em

    myself in
    D

    Thee)

    I guess the old house is still standin' I don't
    G

    go back much anymore

    No voice is left to fill those halls
    D
    Em

    no steps to grace the floor
    D

    For you see mama sings in heaven
    G
    Gm
    G

    now round God's golden throne
    Gm
    G

    But I'll always believe that this old

    world is a whole lot better place
    C
    G
    G
    Em

    Because one time my mama sang a song
    Am
    D

    (precious mem'ries flood my soul)
    C
    G
    Am
    G

    • 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.”
