    (Tige you were faithful
    G
    D

    faithful to the end
    A
    G

    Tige now I miss you you were
    D

    my best friend)

    Three years of Army Service done
    G

    and I was headin' home at last
    D

    I got to thinking bout my dog and
    A

    things long gone and passed

    How old Tige pulled me from the creek

    when I had no pulse or breath
    E

    How he saved me from the chargin'
    A
    D

    bull that gored my Dad to death

    As a kid I'd dream of bears

    and tremble to my toes
    G

    Till old Tige come up to my bed and
    D

    nudge me with his nose
    A

    Then my fears would melt away

    and Tige would go lie down

    I'd drift on back to sleep without
    G
    D

    another sound

    The big bus stopped I got off it was

    awful dark and thick with fog
    G

    Then something gently nuzzled
    D

    me and there stood Tige my dog
    A

    I wondered if my faithful dog

    had met the bus each day
    E

    And all the dreary winter nights
    A

    since I'd been away
    D

    Have Tige meet me here like this

    I was I was really glad

    Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much
    G

    since the day they'd burried Dad
    D

    Two long miles still lay ahead
    A

    but what I didn't know

    A giant Dam was being built
    G

    where the old road used to go
    D

    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
    G

    Tige inched along this way and
    D

    that going rough and slow
    G
    A

    And I could hear the water lappin' at

    the ledges far below
    E

    Then through the mist I saw a light
    A

    and mother in her chair
    D

    And I reached down to pet old Tige

    but he wasn't there
    G

    I'm thankful Mom you had

    old Tige these three lonely years
    D
    A

    I owe my life to him tonight I

    couldn't help my tears
    G

    You say you wrote me bout the Dam
    D

    well God was sure with us

    I didn't get your letter Mom

    but old Tige met the bus
    G

    I hate to tell you son she said but
    D

    now you've got to know
    A

    When you left it broke his heart Tige
    G

    died three years ago
    D

    (You were my best friend)

    • 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.”
