A world- wearied man with
G

tear filled eyes
D

Walked in off the street of the
C#m
A

uncommonly wise
D

Into the church meeting,
G

with this story he came
D

Sometimes angels and strangers
A
D
Bm

are one and the same
D

The preacher said "Sir,
G

you're welcome in here
D
A

Now tell us as much as you'd want
D

us to hear"

And the stranger said,

"It was no more than an hour ago, people,
G

I was lookin' for shelter for the night."
D

"I wanted to go somewhere

out of the way,
E

somewhere peaceful and quiet."
D

"So I went to a cemetery,
A
D

close by Thompson Lane,

and with full respect I entered it
G

and found rest from the rain."

"I laid down under a sycamore,
D

an' I was barely asleep,
A

when someone said "Hello stranger"
D

and touched the boots on my feet."

"His hair was pure silver,
G

almost like a crown of glory on top,

and the rain didn't touch him,
D

not one single drop."

"His voice was familiar,
E
A

it brought me comfort and peace."

"He laughed and said,
D

"Well, we picked a strange place to meet,
G

but I understand, I've often come here to pray,


when the burdens of life
D

put stones in my way."

"And you see friend,

you and me, we're brothers,
A
G
D

though we've never met."

"We've both known heartache,
Bm
D

disappointment and the pain of regret."

"The full weight of sadness,
G

love and it's cost,
D

and without love, a soul is nothing,
E

but empty and lost."
A

"And I've come to tell you,

to go on now and be brave."
D

"You can live again."

"You know it's her love that you crave."
G

"Go find the one you left behind,
D

hold her, take her by the hand."

"Show her how much you need her,
A

I believe she'll understand."
D

"Now son you take a look at this ground,

it's filled with things unsaid."

"There's a world of good intentions
G

here in the land of the dead."
D

"And friend I'm here to tell ya, on this very night,
E
A

I was sent by your Maker, the giver of life, to tell you there's rest

for your soul."
D

"There's peace and relief,

if you'll just surrender your burdens."
G

"Lay them at God's feet."
D

"Walk out of this place."

"Go now and live in the light
A

of a pure perfect presence,
D

that loves and forgives."

  • 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.
