    Verse 1
    On 

    the back 
    page 
    of the 
    pa
    per 

    Next 
    to 
    the ad 
    for mobile 
    homes 

    I 
    read 
    about 
    my 
    brother's 
    keep
    er 

    And the 
    kind
    ness 
    he had 
    shown 

    To 
    some 
    help
    less 
    perfect 
    stranger 

    Who 
    cried 
    out 
    in his 
    pain 

    And 
    what 
    the front 
    page 

    had 
    taken 
    from 
    me 

    Was 
    given 
    back 
    to 
    me 
    again 

    Verse 2

    My 
    thoughts 
    turned 
    to the 
    teacher
    s 

    And the 
    champions 
    of the 

    weak 

    The protectors 
    of the creatures 


    And the 
    saints 
    down 
    on 
    the street 

    All 
    the 
    help
    ers, 
    all 
    the 
    heal
    ers 

    Who 
    lay 
    hands 
    on 
    wounded 

    souls 

    And whose 
    daily 
    act
    s 
    of mercy 

    Drive 
    the cyn
    ic 
    from my 
    door 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Countless 
    times 
    I've 
    seen 

    the 
    wonders 

    That the 
    gift 
    of hope 
    can 

    bring 

    To the betrayed 
    and the 
    for
    gotten 

    Yet 
    I 
    stood 
    watch
    ing in 
    the wings 

    Too 
    many 
    times 
    I 
    heard 
    the call 

    And 
    did not 
    answer, 
    to 
    my shame 

    But 
    I swear 
    from 
    this 
    day on 

    I 
    will lend 
    a helping 
    hand.

    • 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.”
