    Every
    Verse 1

    one 
    knows 
    him 
    as 
    old 
    folks. 

    Like 
    the 
    seasons 
    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. 

    Always 
    leaving 
    his 
    spoon 
    in 
    his 
    coffee, 

    puts 
    his 
    napkin 
    up 
    under 
    his 
    chin, 

    And 
    that 
    old 
    corncob 
    pipe, 
    it's 
    so 
    mellow, 
    it's 
    right, 

    but 
    you 
    needn't 
    be 
    ashamed 
    of 
    it. 


    Did 
    he 
    fight 
    for 
    the 
    blue 
    or 
    the 
    gray? 

    For 
    he's 
    so 
    diplomatic 

    and 
    so 
    democrat
    ic 

    We 
    always 
    let 
    him 
    have 
    his 
    way 




    Every 
    evening 
    after 
    supper, 
    what 
    stor
    ies 
    he 
    would 
    tell, 

    how 
    he held 
    the 
    speech 
    of 

    Gettysburg 

    for 

    Lin
    coln 
    that 
    day. 

    I 
    know 
    that 
    one 
    so 
    well. 

    Someday 
    there'll 
    be 
    no 
    more 
    old 
    foes, 

    but 
    a lonely 
    old 
    world 
    will 
    be. 

    Chil
    dren's 
    voices 
    at 
    play 

    will 
    be 
    still 
    for 
    a day, 

    The 
    day 
    they 
    take 
    our 
    foes 
    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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
