    Verse 1
    I met 
    her at the 
    mission 

    Living 
    just 
    this side 
    of sin 

    Her 
    mouth 
    was soft 
    and when 
    she 
    spoke 

    Lord, 
    I fell 
    right 
    in 

    She 
    had 
    Verse 2
    a baby 
    in 
    a blanket 

    dollar 
    and 
    a half 

    She 
    looked 
    a little 
    leery 

    She 
    let out 
    a little 
    laugh 

    Verse 3
    Opened 
    up my 
    overcoat 

    Invited 
    them 
    in
    side 

    Two 
    fragile 
    little 
    flower

    With 
    nowhere 
    left 
    to hide 

    Verse 4
    She 
    said 
    her 
    old man 
    left 
    her 

    Just be
    fore 
    the 
    baby 
    came 

    I could 
    feel 
    the tears 
    well 
    up inside 

    Each time 
    she spoke 
    his name 

    Verse 5
    Swing 
    low, 
    swing 
    low 

    Sweet 
    angel 
    face 

    Why 
    would 
    such 

    simple 
    child 

    Come to 
    such 
    place? 

    Verse 6

    We talked 
    until 
    the 
    wind 
    died down 

    Baby 
    woke 
    and stirred 

    She 
    made 
    a little 
    hush
    ing 
    sound 

    Spoke 
    some 
    magic 
    word 

    Verse 7
    The baby 
    yawned 
    and smiled 
    at me 

    But 
    she said, 
    "We can't 
    stay" 

    She 
    thanked me 
    for my 
    kindness 

    Turned 
    and walked 
    away 

    Verse 8
    Swing 
    low, 
    swing 
    low 

    Sweet 
    angel 
    face 

    Why 
    would 
    such 

    simple 
    child 

    Come to 
    such 
    place? 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 9
    I think 
    about them 
    all 
    the time 

    Hope they 
    found 
    their home 

    Seems 
    that it's my 
    call
    ing 
    now 

    To 
    walk these 
    streets 
    alone 

    Verse 10
    Sometimes 
    when the wind 
    is 
    right 

    I can 
    smell 
    her 
    sweet 
    per
    fume 

    I think 
    about 
    the warm 
    embrace 

    That 
    ended 
    all too 
    soon 

    Verse 11
    Swing 
    low, 
    swing 
    low 

    Sweet 
    angel 
    face 

    Why 
    would 
    such 

    simple 
    child 

    Come to 
    such 
    place? 

    Verse 12
    Oh, oh, oh, 
    why 
    would 
    such 

    sim
    ple 
    child 

    Come to 
    such 
    place?

    • 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.
