    Verse 1
    Every
    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 

    An
    that 
    yellow 
    cob 
    pipe 

    is 
    so 
    mellow 
    it's 
    ripe 

    But 
    you 
    didn't 
    be 
    ashamed 
    of 
    him 

    In 
    the 
    evening 
    af
    ter 
    supper 

    What 
    stories 
    he 
    would 
    tell 

    How 
    he 
    held 
    the 
    speech 
    at 
    Gettysburg 

    for 
    Lincoln 
    that 
    day 

    Oh, 
    know 
    that 
    one 
    so 
    well 

    Know 
    it 
    well 

    Don't 
    quite 
    under
    stand 

    about 
    old 
    folk

    Did 
    he 
    fight 
    for 
    the blue 
    or 
    the 
    gray 

    For 
    he's 
    so 
    diplomat

    ic 
    and 
    so 
    democrat
    ic 

    We 
    always 
    let him 
    have 
    his 
    way 

    Every 
    Friday 
    he'll 
    go 
    fishin' 

    Way 
    down 
    on 
    Buzzer's 
    Lake 

    But 
    he 
    only 
    hooks 
    perch 
    or two, 

    whale 
    got 
    away, 
    so 
    we 
    warm 
    up 
    the 
    steak. 

    Oh, 
    someday 
    there'll 
    be 

    no 
    more 
    old 
    folks, 

    what 
    lonely 
    old 
    town 
    this 
    will 
    be. 

    Chil
    dren's 
    voices 
    at 
    play 

    will 
    be 
    stilled 
    for 
    day 

    The 
    day 
    that 
    they 
    take 
    old 
    folks 
    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.
