In the spring of nineteen forty nine

That's when I crossed the county line

It's there I saw in Seneca Creek

A girl named Ruth who washed her feet

I told her my name was RC Phares

That I'd marry her with half a karat

G

She said "I do, but no stone can reach

G

Am

the prettiest shine of this here creek"

Verse 2

Am

G

C

The mud was deep and the roads were wide

G

Am

We'd retreat and then retake the lines

G

C

Korean winters had torn me down

G

Am

And killed all the boys from my hometown

G

C

But I'm coming home, Ruth, my dear

G

Am

I got money in my pocket, don't you fear

G

We'll build a life by Seneca Creek

You'll have everything you'll ever need

Let's build a home by Seneca Creek

And raise ourselves a family

I'll work on the farm, you work the store

C

We'll have everything we ever hoped for

With the top of a mountain above our heads

And the roar of Seneca by the bed

And sure enough, the hard times came

You loved yours, I did the same

G

But we made it through the winter's cold

G

And many summers young and old

G

C

In '85 the creek did rise

G

Am

But it on ly took the other side

The Gandee, North Fork

G

and South Branch too

G

Am

The house still stood that I built for you

We'd make up trips for the hell of it

Take my hand, Ruth, my dear

I'll take you back to any year

G

And now you lie on the hill up high

G

Right beneath the mountain sky

Seneca Creek sings below

Atop the tree sit's a lonely crow

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.”
