    (Tige 
    you were 
    faithful 

    faithful 
    to 
    the 
    end 

    Tige now 
    I 
    miss 
    you 
    you 
    were 

    my 
    best 
    friend) 

    Three 
    years 
    of Army 
    Service 
    done 

    and I was 
    headin' 
    home at 
    last 

    I got to 
    thinking 
    bout my 
    dog 
    and 

    things 
    long 
    gone 
    and 
    passed 

    How old 
    Tige 
    pulled 
    me from 
    the creek 

    when I had no 
    pulse 
    or 
    breath 

    How 
    he saved 
    me 
    from the 
    chargin' 

    bull 
    that 
    gored 
    my Dad 
    to 
    death 

    As 
    a kid 
    I'd 
    dream of 
    bears 

    and 
    tremble 
    to my toes 

    Till old 
    Tige 
    come 
    up to my 
    bed 
    and 

    nudge 
    me with his 
    nose 

    Then my 
    fears 
    would melt 
    away 

    and Tige 
    would go lie 
    down 

    I'd 
    drift on 
    back to 
    sleep without 

    another 
    sound 

    The 
    big bus 
    stopped 
    I 
    got off 
    it 
    was 

    awful 
    dark 
    and 
    thick with 
    fog 

    Then 
    something 
    gently 
    nuzzled 

    me and 
    there stood 
    Tige 
    my dog 

    I 
    wondered if 
    my faithful 
    dog 

    had met 
    the 
    bus 
    each 
    day 

    And 
    all 
    the dreary 
    winter nights 

    since 
    I'd been 
    away 

    Have 
    Tige 
    meet me 
    here like 
    this 

    I 
    was 
    I was really 
    glad 

    Cause 
    I hadn't 
    needed 
    Tige 
    so much 

    since 
    the day 
    they'd 
    burried 
    Dad 

    Two 
    long 
    miles 
    still 
    lay 
    ahead 

    but 
    what 
    I 
    didn't know 

    A giant 
    Dam 
    was being 
    built 

    where the old 
    road 
    used 
    to go 

    I thank 
    the 
    Lord 
    for sending 
    Tige 
    and 

    I 
    followed 
    where he led 

    Knowing 
    well 
    without 
    his 
    help 

    that I'd 
    be 
    good 
    as 
    dead 

    Tige 
    inched 
    along 
    this 
    way and 

    that 
    going 
    rough 
    and 
    slow 

    And I 
    could hear 
    the water 
    lappin' 
    at 

    the ledges 
    far 
    below 

    Then through 
    the mist 
    I 
    saw 
    a light 

    and 
    mother 
    in 
    her chair 

    And I reached 
    down 
    to pet 
    old 
    Tige 

    but 
    he wasn't 
    there 

    I'm thank
    ful 
    Mom 
    you had 

    old Tige 
    these 
    three 
    lonely 
    years 

    I 
    owe my 
    life 
    to him 
    tonight 
    I 

    couldn't 
    help my 
    tears 

    You say 
    you wrote 
    me bout 
    the Dam 

    well 
    God 
    was 
    sure 
    with us 

    I didn't 
    get your 
    letter Mom 

    but 
    old Tige 
    met the 
    bus 

    I 
    hate 
    to tell 
    you son 
    she 
    said 
    but 

    now 
    you've 
    got 
    to 
    know 

    When 
    you left 
    it 
    broke 
    his heart 
    Tige 

    died 
    three 
    years 
    ago 

    (You were 
    my 
    best friend)

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
