  • Verse 1
    They were 
    married 
    in the 
    old 
    church 
    yard 

    And 
    they promised 
    to 

    be 
    true 
    to 
    each other 

    No 
    matter 
    how 
    hard 
    their 
    lives 
    might 
    be 

    But like 
    meteors 
    that 
    fell 

    Through 
    mo
    ments 
    paral
    lel 

    They were 
    soon 
    to 
    cross 

    And 
    on 
    different 
    plots 
    of 
    earth 

    They 
    both did 
    fall 

    Though their 
    lives 
    had really 
    not 

    Been 
    hard 
    at all 

    Oh my, 
    what 
    Verse 2
    shame 
    no 

    one's 
    to blame 

    It just 
    happened 
    that way 

    And there's 
    nothing 
    you can 
    say 

    When 
    two 
    people 
    say 
    good
    bye 
    oh 
    my 


    Verse 3

    Two brothers 
    promised 
    they'd 
    re
    turn 

    When 
    the war 
    that they 

    were 
    fight
    ing 
    was over 

    But 
    only 
    one 
    lived 
    to 
    keep 
    his 
    vow 

    And the 
    story 
    I was 
    told 
    said 

    He 
    lived 
    to be quite 
    old 
    before 

    time 
    won out 

    Someone 
    asked 
    if 
    he 
    knew what 

    They both 
    fought 
    for 

    But 
    he 
    could not 
    recall 
    he'd 

    ever been 
    to 
    war 

    Oh 
    my, 
    what 
    shame 
    no 
    Verse 4

    one's 
    to blame 

    It just 
    happened 
    that way 

    And there's 
    nothing 
    you can 
    say 

    When 
    two 
    people 
    say 
    good

    bye 
    oh 
    my 

    Verse 5
    For there's 
    nothing 
    you can 

    Say 
    when it's 
    over 

    And there's 
    nothing 
    you 
    can do 

    when 
    it's done 

    There's no 
    battle 
    you can 
    win 

    And there's 
    nothing 
    to be

    gin 
    that's 
    not 
    begun 

    Verse 6
    In 
    this moment 
    I recall 

    your 
    face 

    And I wonder 
    if 
    you 
    still 
    think 
    about 
    me 

    Oc
    casionally 
    I still 
    think 
    of you 

    And 
    I watch 
    the river 
    flow 
    and 

    know I 
    must 
    let 
    go 
    but it's oh 

    so 
    hard 

    For the waves 
    are 
    all around 

    my small 
    canoe 

    I had 
    always 
    hoped 
    this boat 

    could carry 
    two 

    Oh 
    my, 
    what a 
    Verse 7
    shame 
    no 

    one's 
    to blame 

    It just 
    happened 
    that way 

    And there's 
    nothing 
    you can 
    say 

    When 
    two 
    people 
    say 
    good
    bye 

    oh 
    my

    • 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.
