    It's 
    time 
    for the Carter 
    sister
    s, 

    Mother May
    bell, 

    Chet Atkins 
    and 
    his fam
    ous guitar. 

    Put 
    on 
    that 
    smile 
    and 
    don't 

    wear 
    a frown. 

    We're 
    gonna scatter 
    some 

    sunshine 
    around. 

    If you 
    don't believe, 

    we'll 
    chase 
    away 
    those 
    tears. 

    here! 



    Well, 
    folks, 

    here's a female 
    full of 
    fun, 
    frolic, 

    and 
    fast 
    flip
    pancy, 
    June Carter

    Well, great 
    day, 
    Jewel. 

    Thank you 
    a lot. 

    All 
    them fine 
    words 
    you was 

    a sayin' 
    there, 

    don't 
    know whether 
    it's good or 

    bad, but 
    it sounded 
    good. 

    Wanted to say 
    howdy 
    to you folks, 
    though. 

    want you 
    to kind of 
    stay around 

    and listen 
    to us for 
    a little bit. 

    There's 
    a tune called 

    He Made 
    Toothpicks 
    of the 

    Tim
    ber 
    of My Heart, 

    and he 
    sure did. 

    Chester 
    and Helen 
    and Anita 
    and 
    me, 

    reckon all 
    of us will sing 
    it 

    if we can 
    ever get 
    started. 

    For 
    backswood 
    gal was 
    she, 

    and for 
    chop
    ping 
    down a 
    tree, 

    I was 
    handy 
    with an 
    axe and 
    I was 
    smart. 

    But I 
    should have 
    passed you 
    by 

    when you 
    waved and 
    hollered. 

    You 
    made 
    toothpicks 
    out 

    of the timber 
    of my 
    heart 

    When 
    you 
    promised 
    to be 
    mine, 

    I cut 
    ninety logs 
    of 
    pine 

    For our 
    cabin 
    in Ireland, 
    worlds apart 

    All 
    my 
    dreams were 
    heaven bound, 

    till you 
    tore that 
    cabin down 

    You made 
    toothpicks 
    out 

    of the timber of 
    my 
    heart 

    He 
    made 
    toothpicks 
    out 

    of the timber 
    of 
    her 
    heart 

    He 
    made 
    toothpicks 
    out 

    of the timber of 
    her 
    heart 

    Like 
    a bussaw 
    rips a 
    pole, 

    he made 
    saw
    dust 
    of my 
    soul, 

    he made 
    toothpicks 
    of 

    the timber 
    of my 
    heart. 

    He was 
    tall 
    and he was 
    limber, 

    and for 
    timber 
    he was 
    fine, 

    but his 
    lips were 
    poison 

    oak and 
    turpen
    tine. 

    He was 
    seasoned, 
    I was 
    green, 

    yes, 
    my 
    darling 
    lumber 
    king, 

    twined me 
    round his 
    finger 

    like a 
    clingin' 
    vine. 

    Now 
    hang 
    around the 
    shack, 

    just a 
    lonesome 
    lumberjack

    I might 
    have known 

    your heart 
    was wooden 
    from the 
    start. 

    you 
    snatched away 
    your 
    charms, 

    there were 
    splin
    ters in 
    my 
    arm
    s. 

    You made 
    tooth
    picks 
    out 

    of the timber 
    of my 
    heart. 

    He made 
    toothpicks 
    out 

    of the timber of 
    her 
    heart. 

    He made 
    toothpicks 
    out 

    of the timber of 
    her heart. 

    When 
    wrote you 
    down 
    the hill, 

    and I 
    run you 
    through the 
    mill, 

    you meant 
    to fix 
    all 
    the timber 
    of my 
    heart. 

    You 
    meant 
    to fix 
    all 
    the 
    timber 
    of my 
    heart. 

    Say, 
    June, 
    what's this 
    I hear about 

    you fighting 
    with Anita 
    yesterday? 

    Yes, sir, we 
    was a -fightin'. 

    She was eatin' 
    crackers, 

    makin' 
    so much noise 

    I couldn't 
    hear a thing that 

    was a -goin' 
    on. 

    You 
    couldn't? 

    No, 
    sir, I 
    was a -tryin' to 

    listen to the 
    radio. 

    There was a feller 
    talkin'. 

    He had somethin' 
    real important 
    to 
    say. 

    Like 
    this, 
    I reckon.

      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.
