    Verse 1
    Do 
    you 
    re
    mem
    ber, 
    Jody 
    Baxter 

    When 
    the 
    whippoorwill 
    sings 

    How 
    you 
    stole 
    across 
    the 
    pasture 

    To 
    the 
    little 
    hidden 
    spring? 

    Where 
    you 
    laid 
    down 
    by 
    the 
    water 

    On 
    bed 
    of 
    Span
    ish 
    moss 

    And 
    dreamed 

    When 
    wind 
    was 
    on 
    the 
    prairie 

    And 
    the 
    fire 
    was 
    in 
    the 
    stove 

    With 
    the 
    wood 
    you 
    had 
    to 
    carry 

    From 
    the 
    corner 
    of 
    the 
    grove 

    And 
    your 
    daddy 
    let 
    you 
    dis
    ap
    pear 

    With 
    all 
    your 
    fishing 
    gear 

    In
    to 
    the 
    cove 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    it 
    was 
    good, 
    good, 
    good 

    But 
    now 
    it's 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    And 
    there's 
    little 
    boy 

    Who's 
    lost 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    woods 

    Always 
    looking 
    for 
    the 
    fawn 

    Verse 2
    Cause 
    re
    member, 
    Jody 
    Baxter 

    When 
    hid 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    corn 

    How 
    the 
    clouds 
    were 
    moving 
    faster 

    With 
    the 
    coming 
    of 
    the 
    storm 

    And 
    knew 
    that 
    had 
    broken 

    Something 
    could 
    not 
    re
    pair 

    And 
    mourned 

    Because 
    the 
    field 
    was 
    green 
    as 
    Eden 

    Then 
    it 
    withered 
    into 
    brown 

    In 
    the 
    middle 
    of 
    my 
    grieving 

    They 
    came 
    and 
    cut 
    it 
    down 

    And 
    was 
    sure 
    that 
    it 
    was 
    all 
    my 
    fault 

    The 
    day 
    they 
    mowed 
    the 
    garden 

    To 
    the 
    ground 

    Chorus 2
    What 
    was 
    good, 
    good, 
    good 

    Is 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    And 
    there's 
    little 
    boy 

    Who's 
    lost 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    woods 

    Always 
    looking 
    for 
    the 
    fawn 

    Bridge 1
    So 
    come 
    back 
    to 
    me 

    Please, 
    come 
    back 
    to 
    me 

    Is 
    there 
    any 
    way 
    that 
    we 
    can 

    Change 
    the 
    ending 
    of 
    this 
    tragedy? 

    Or 
    does 
    it 
    have 
    to 
    be 
    this 
    way? 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Now 
    can 
    see 
    you, 
    Jody 
    Baxter 

    Now 
    you're 
    broken 
    by 
    the 
    years 

    As 
    you 
    lay 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    aster 

    And 
    listen 
    for 
    the 
    deer 

    And 
    I'm 
    mil
    lion 
    miles 
    a
    way 

    But 
    still 
    pray 
    the 
    fawn 
    can 
    find 
    me 

    Here 

    Chorus 3
    Because 
    It 
    was 
    good, 
    good, 
    good 

    But 
    now 
    it's 
    gone 

    And 
    there's 
    little 
    boy 

    Who's 
    lost 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    woods 

    Always 
    looking 
    for 
    the 
    fawn 

    Yes, 
    I'm 
    little 
    boy 

    Who's 
    lost 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    woods 

    Always 
    looking 
    for 
    the 
    fawn

    • 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.
