  • Verse 1
    The 
    funeral was 
    over, 

    the 
    folks 
    started 
    home 

    It 
    was 
    only 
    few 
    that 
    were 
    there 

    lonely 
    little 
    fellow 
    on 
    an old 
    wagon 
    seat, 

    His 
    heart 
    ached 
    too 
    heavy 
    to 
    bear. 

    Turn 
    to 
    his 
    father 
    who 
    drove 
    the 
    old 
    mule 

    His 
    face 
    plainly 
    showed 
    the 
    deep 
    hurt 

    Why 
    did 
    they 
    put 
    Grandpappy 

    in 
    that old 
    wooden 
    box 

    Then 
    cover 
    him 
    over 
    with 
    dirt? 

    The 
    man 
    searched 
    for an 
    answer 

    as 
    the old 
    mule 
    walked 
    along 

    Through 
    his 
    tears 
    he 
    gazed 
    down 
    the road, 

    As 
    he held 
    the little 
    boy 

    close 
    to 
    his old 
    ragged 
    shirt, 

    And 
    tried 
    awful 
    hard 
    to 
    lighten 
    his load. 

    Why, 
    Pappy 
    wasn't 
    in 
    that box, 
    boy, 

    The 
    Lord 
    took 
    him 
    out. 

    He 
    came 
    and 
    got Pappy 
    last 
    night 

    while 
    he was 
    asleep. 

    And 
    that old 
    coffin, 

    that's 
    all 
    they buried 
    today, 
    boy. 

    That's 
    the truth, 
    honey 
    baby, 

    don't 
    you 
    weep 

    You 
    remember 
    how 
    old Pappy 
    always 

    say 
    he think 
    he need a 
    new banjo? 

    Well, 
    the Lord 
    know 
    that 

    And 
    he come 
    and got 
    Pappy 

    He 
    found 
    him 
    a -dreamin' 

    an
    d a 
    -rockin' 

    in that 
    old rockin' 
    chair 

    And 
    he take 
    him up to 
    heaven 

    and 
    he show 
    him a big 
    beautiful 
    garden 

    And 
    he say, 
    Pappy, 
    you 
    work 
    it 

    You 
    not only 
    get 
    new banjo 

    but 
    you'll get 
    a new 
    mule, 
    good 
    mule, 

    and 
    plow 
    that's 
    got a 

    golden 
    plowshare. 

    That's 
    what he'd 
    say to 
    Pappy. 

    Yeah, 
    Pappy's 
    gone away, 

    but 
    he's 
    got 
    new banjo, 

    a brand 
    new 
    one, 

    and he's 
    just 
    set
    ting 
    up there 
    rockin' 

    and a 
    -plinkin' 
    on 
    them golden 
    stairs. 

    And 
    I'll 
    tell you 
    something 
    else, 

    boy, 
    Pappy's 
    got 
    a new 
    mule, 

    good 
    mule 
    this time. 

    And 
    old Pappy's 
    workin' 
    in a 
    big, 

    beautiful 
    garden 

    And 
    he's 
    plowin' 
    with 

    that 
    golden 
    plowshare 

    That's 
    the truth, 
    honey baby, 

    that's 
    the truth

    • 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.
