    Led 
    the clan

    He 
    and 
    my 
    great 
    -grandmother 

    had 
    four 
    lovely 
    daughters 

    And 
    strong 
    and 
    honest

    Oklahoma 

    Building

    And 
    the 
    people 
    of 
    the 
    town 

    would 
    come 
    at sundown 

    Some 
    to scoff, 

    some 
    to see 
    what 
    they 
    would 
    find

    And 
    the 
    sisters 
    dressed 
    in 
    white 

    The 
    family 
    sang 
    and prayed 
    into 
    the 
    night 

    And 
    they 
    rode 
    in 
    a covered 
    wagon 

    As 
    they 
    walked 
    in 
    holi

    may 
    live 
    to preach 
    the power 

    and 
    forgiveness

    there 

    wasn't 
    much 
    in preaching 

    But 
    it 
    never 
    slowed 
    them 
    down 

    They 
    loved 
    the truth 
    and

    the hearts

    An
    their 
    eyes 
    were 
    on 
    the crown 

    So 
    they 
    traveled 

    Arkansas 
    and 

    Oklahoma 

    With 
    a burning 
    in 
    their 
    soul 

    And 
    it drove 
    them 
    to their 

    knees 
    until 
    the 
    next 
    town 

    For 
    the sake 
    of 
    wealth they 

    could 
    not 
    hold

    Sometimes 
    feel 
    like 
    a pale 
    reflec

    Liv

    in 
    the blessing

    knew 
    my

    But 
    the 
    secret 
    has 
    been 
    found 

    An
    want 
    to 
    give this 
    to 
    my 
    children 

    And 
    when 
    am 
    very 
    old 

    hope 
    there still 
    will 
    be 

    story 
    worth 
    telling

    • 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.
