Until Perry reached the stream

and jumped in and swam as all squirrels do.

A martin hates water,

Perry escaped,

but she couldn't return to her home.

She was lost and alone

in a strange part of the forest.

And now a new danger threatened,

for this was the territory of

the wildcat.

Perry's life would have been over then and there,

but a warning cry from another squirrel

came just in time.

Perry escaped by running up the side

of a big pine snag

and popped in the nearest hole

and looked out.

Down below,
B

the wildcat was leaving.

It was then that Perry saw the young
C#m

fel low

who had saved her life
E
Bbaug

by warning her of the wildcat.
B

His name was Poro,
G#m
E

and he lived in a small pine tree nearby.
B

Now Poro had one weakness,
C#m

and that was his nest.
F#
B

He spent all his spare time working on it,
F#

but somehow something always seemed
D

to happen to it.

Perry watched him

from the safety
F#

of the friendly snag.

Poro pretended he didn't see her,

and that chasing wildcats

away

was an everyday job.
B

He hopped inside his nest
B

made of grass and moss.
Bb
C

Then, much to his embarrassment,
B
F#

the bottom fell out.
E

An d Poro with it.
B
D

Down below,
F

he watched his nest fall apart bit by bit.

But Poro was a clever squirrel

and didn't waste time pouting.
Bbdim
F#

He ran up an aspen tree

and moved into an abandoned
Bbdim

wood pecker's nest.
F#
Bbdim

But something was wrong here, too. He heard
F#
Bbdim

a strange grinding sound.
Bbdim

Poor Poro.

A beaver had selected this very

tree to cut down,
Bbdim

and down it came, Poro and all.

Well,

there was nowhere else for Poro to go

except under the ground.

It wasn't very dignified for

a pine squirrel,

but at least it was safe.

And, although he'd never admit it,

he was near Perry,

who spent all her time storing

pine cones

and nuts in the big ol' snag.

  • 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.
