  • Verse 1
    She is 
    my 
    flower 

    And 
    she blooms 
    for 
    the one 

    who loves 
    her be
    st 

    The 
    miners 
    stop 
    to 
    watch 
    as 
    she walks 

    They 
    know 
    her love 
    is 
    not 
    for sale 

    She will 
    never 
    fail 
    me 
    'cause 
    I know 

    watch 
    her grow 

    And the 
    mother 
    of 
    a min
    er's 
    child 

    Waits 
    for me 
    be
    side 
    the 
    kitchen 
    door 

    She is 
    my 
    light 

    In this 
    place 
    where 
    the darkness 

    never 
    end

    She'll 
    guide 
    me 
    where 
    the 
    tunnels 

    twist 
    and 
    bend 

    She's the 
    only 
    one 
    who 

    listens 
    when I 
    tell her 

    I got 
    less 
    than I 
    can spend 

    She knows 
    the pace 

    Oh 
    mother 
    of 
    a min
    er's 
    child 

    Was 
    away 
    the coal 
    dust 

    from my 
    face 

    Verse 2

    When the 
    night 
    shift's done 

    She'll 
    be 
    waiting 
    by 
    the table 

    when I 
    come 

    Searchin' 
    for 
    an
    other 
    dream 
    to chase 

    Oh 
    mother 
    of 
    a miner's 
    child 

    know 
    that you 
    still 
    think 
    about 
    the day 

    When 
    we'll 
    be movin' 
    on 

    Re
    member 
    dear 
    old 
    daddy 
    and 

    The 
    promise 
    that I 
    made 

    to 
    carry 
    on 

    Verse 3
    Sometimes 
    I smile 

    In 
    the cage 
    where 
    the 
    cables 
    softly 
    hum 

    I'd 
    curse 
    that 
    old 
    straw 

    boss 
    to 
    the bone 

    But the 
    mother 
    of 
    a miner's 
    child 

    Is 
    waiting 
    for 
    her paycheck 
    to come 
    home 

    Come 
    Saturday 

    And 
    he is 
    just 
    a min
    er's 
    boy 

    hope 
    that 
    he will 
    find 

    a better 
    way 

    Verse 4

    She is 
    my 
    flower

    And 
    she blooms 
    for 
    the one 

    who loves 
    her be
    st 

    The 
    miners 
    stop 
    to 
    watch 
    as 
    she walks 

    They 
    know 
    her love 
    is not 
    for sale 

    She will 
    never 
    fail 
    me 
    'cause 
    I know 

    watch 
    her grow 

    And the 
    mother 
    of 
    a min
    er's 
    child 

    Waits 
    for me 
    beside 
    the 
    kitchen 
    door

    • 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.
