    Every
    one 
    knows 
    him 
    as old 
    folks. 

    Like 
    the season, 

    he'll come 
    and 
    he'll go. 

    Just 
    as 
    free as a 
    bird, 

    and 
    as good as 
    his word, 

    that's why 
    everybody 
    loves 
    him so. 

    Al
    ways 
    leaving 
    his 

    spoon 
    in 
    his coffee, 

    puts 
    his napkin 
    up 
    under his 
    chin, 

    and 
    that yellow 
    cob 
    pipe, 

    so 
    mellow 
    it's 
    ripe, 

    but you 
    needn't be 
    ashamed 
    of 
    him. 

    In the 
    evening, 
    after 
    supper, 

    what 
    stories 
    he 
    would tell, 

    How 
    he held 
    a speech 
    at Gettysburg 

    for 
    Lincoln that 
    day. 

    Lord, 
    know that 
    one 
    so well. 

    don't quite 
    understand 
    about 
    old 
    folks. 

    Did 
    he fight 
    for 
    the blue 
    or 
    the gray? 

    Seems 
    that I've 
    heard 
    him 
    mentioned. 

    He 
    lives on 
    a pension. 

    He'll never come 
    right 
    out and 
    say. 



    Then 
    he 
    meets 
    the 

    late train 
    at 
    the station, 

    Set
    s and 
    whittles 

    when 
    it's over
    due, 

    While 
    they're 
    sorting 
    the mail, 

    every 
    night without 
    fail, 

    he's getting 
    himself 
    a little nip 
    or two. 

    Every 
    Friday, 
    he's 
    going 
    fishing, 

    way 
    down on 
    Buz
    zard's 
    Lake. 

    But 
    he only 
    hooks 
    a perch 
    or two, 

    a whale 
    got away. 

    We 
    have 
    to 
    warm 

    up the state. 

    Someday 
    there'll 
    be 

    no more 
    old folks. 

    What 
    a lonely 
    old 
    town 
    this'll 
    be. 

    Chil
    dren's 
    voices 
    that 
    play 

    Will 
    be 
    still 
    for 
    day. 

    The 
    day 
    they take 
    old 
    folk
    away.

    • 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.
