    Ruby's 
    shoes 
    would take 
    Verse 1

    her 

    mile 
    or so 
    to school 

    every 
    day 

    Where 
    the white 
    people 
    hated 
    her 

    They'd scream 
    and 
    hold signs 
    and 

    tell 
    her 
    to go 
    away 

    But Ruby's 
    will 
    was 
    stronger 
    Verse 2

    Than the 
    bigots 
    with the 

    signs 
    could 
    ever 
    know 

    She 
    stopped 
    every 
    morning 

    on 
    the corner 

    And 
    prayed 
    that 
    someday 

    the pain 
    would 
    go 

    And she'd 
    stop 
    Verse 3
    and she'd 
    pray 

    That all 
    the 
    hatred 
    would 
    go 
    away 

    She 
    was 
    only 
    six 
    years 

    old 
    but she 
    knew 

    Walk 
    a mile 
    in 
    Ruby's 
    shoes 

    Verse 4

    Ruby 
    sat 
    alone 
    in 
    the classroom 

    She 
    never 
    dreamed 
    the 
    other 

    children 
    would
    n't come 

    They 
    hated 
    her 
    for 
    the 
    color 
    of 
    her skin 

    Well 
    color 
    is such 
    an 

    amazing 
    illu
    sion 

    Verse 5
    She'd 
    stop 
    and she'd 
    pray 

    That all 
    the 
    hatred 
    would 
    go 
    away 

    She 
    was 
    only 
    six 
    years 
    old 
    but she 
    knew 

    Walk 
    a mile 
    in 
    Ruby's 
    shoes 

    Now 
    Verse 6
    Ruby 

    knew 
    about 
    Dorothy 

    And the 
    ruby 
    shoes 
    that she 
    wore 

    She 
    wondered 

    about 
    Oz 
    sometimes 

    Well, 
    well 
    no 
    other 
    child 
    ever 

    walked 
    her shoes 
    be
    fore 

    And she'd 
    Verse 7
    stop 
    and she'd 
    pray 

    That all 
    the hatred 
    would 
    go 
    away 

    She 
    was 
    only 
    six 
    years 

    old 
    but she 
    knew 

    Walk 
    a mile 
    in 
    Ruby's 

    shoes 

    Verse 8

    Ruby, 
    if 
    birds 
    can 
    al
    ways 
    fly 

    Why 
    oh 
    why 
    can't 
    you 
    and 
    I? 

    Verse 9

    Ruby's 
    shoes 
    would take 
    her 

    mile 
    or so 
    to school 

    every 
    day 

    Where 
    the white 
    people 
    hated 
    her 

    They'd scream 
    and hold 
    signs 

    and 
    tell 
    her 
    to go 
    away 

    And 
    she'd 
    Verse 10
    stop 
    and 
    she'd 
    pray 

    That all 
    the 
    hatred 
    would 
    go 
    away 

    She'd 
    stop 
    and she'd 
    pray 

    That 
    no 
    other 
    children 
    would 
    be 
    raised 

    this 
    way 

    Ruby's 
    shoes 

    Verse 11
    If 
    birds 
    can 
    fly 

    Then 
    why 
    oh 
    why 

    If 
    birds 
    can 
    fly 
    then 
    why 
    oh 

    why 
    can't

    • 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.
