    • Verse 1
    There's 

    a rose 

    bush 
    in 
    the garden 

    Been 
    there 
    since 
    I was 
    born 

    That 
    celebrates 
    its age 
    without 
    fear 

    I touch 
    the velvet 
    petals 

    And 
    smell 
    the breath 
    of angels 

    And 
    pick 
    the purple 
    roses 
    every 
    year 

    Now you 
    think 
    you're passed 

    your prime 
    my 
    sweet 
    wo
    man 

    Your 
    use- 
    by 
    date 
    is 
    faded 
    and grey 

    But 
    sad 
    and 
    sorry 
    thoughts 

    like 
    that 
    my darlin' 

    Is 
    throwin' 
    purple 
    roses 

    Interlude 1
    away 



    Verse 2
    You're 
    tired 
    of 
    pretending 

    that 
    you're 
    younger 

    When 
    gravity 
    is 
    real 
    and 
    here 
    to stay 

    So you 
    wear 
    your clothes 
    more 

    easily 
    for com
    fort 

    You used 
    to be 
    too 
    skinny 
    anyway 

    Interlude 2





    Verse 3
    Now you're 
    looking 
    in 
    the 
    mirror 

    A 
    picture 
    of 
    your Mother 

    But 
    you don't 
    see 
    the 

    woman 
    that 
    I see 

    Denying 
    grace 
    and 
    pride 

    the 
    good Lord 
    gave 
    you 

    Is 
    throwin' 
    purple 
    roses 
    away 

    Verse 4
    Yeah, 
    sad 
    and 
    sorry 
    thoughts 

    like 
    that 
    my darlin' 

    Is 
    throwin' 
    purple 
    roses 
    away

      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.
