    D
    G

    My daddy's hands held Ten's
    A
    D

    and Two's while mom's were holding me
    G

    And daddy's hand lost everything to
    A
    D
    Bm

    a hand of Kings and Three's
    D
    G

    Then daddy's hands they shook
    A

    so bad that he turned to wine

    But mama's hands were strong and

    calm as they held on to mine

    Eb
    Ab

    Yes, mama's hands held on to mine
    Bb
    Eb

    to guide me day and night
    Ab

    And it took the sting of mama's hands
    Bb
    Eb

    to teach me wrong from right
    Ab

    When times were bad and money slim,
    Bb
    Eb

    she'd fold her hands and pray

    mama's hands are cold with age,

    God for the bygone days

    She looks at me and then she smiles,

    Everything I am today I owe

    • 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.
