    • Verse 1
    Softly, 
    softly 
    through 
    the 
    trees 

    the 
    leaves 
    come 
    falling 
    down. 

    Colors 
    floating 
    in 
    the 
    air, 

    colors 
    floating 
    everywhere! 

    They 
    hardly 
    make 
    a 
    sound, 

    they 
    hardly 
    make 
    a 
    sound. 


    Verse 2
    Rolling 
    slowly 
    back 
    to 
    school, 

    we 
    children 
    hear 
    the 
    bell. 

    Teacher 
    says 
    the 
    golden 
    rule: 

    kindness 
    given 
    follows 
    you. 

    We 
    children 
    hear 
    the 
    bell. 

    We 
    children 
    hear 
    it 
    louder– 

    Pop! Pop! 

    In 
    the 
    hall! 

    Verse 3
    We 
    children 
    hit 
    the 
    ground. 

    Evelyn 
    is 
    all 
    in 
    red, 

    Evelyn 
    was 
    my 
    best 
    friend. 

    We 
    children 
    hit 
    the 
    ground, 

    we 
    hardly 
    make 
    a 
    sound. 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4

    In 
    the 
    steeple, 
    in 
    the 
    town, 

    the 
    people 
    sing 
    their 
    pray
    ers: 

    spare 
    our 
    children 
    from 
    such 
    harms, 

    hold 
    them 
    in 
    our 
    loaded 
    arms 

    and 
    never 
    put 
    them 
    down. 

    We'll 
    never 
    put 
    them 

    Verse 5
    softly, 
    softly 
    to 
    the 
    ground. 

    The 
    tears 
    come 
    floating 
    down. 

    What 
    can 
    take 
    a 
    child’s place? 

    What 
    is 
    worth 
    a 
    child 
    placed 

    so 
    gently 
    in 
    the 
    ground? 

    It 
    hardly 
    makes 
    a 
    sound.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
