    Verse 1
    Her 
    mama 
    picked 

    him up 
    in 
    south 
    Minnesota 

    He promised 
    her 
    the world, 

    but they 
    never 
    got 
    that 
    far 

    For 
    he was 
    last 
    seen 
    in that 
    '59 Desoto 

    When 
    Sally 
    was born 
    in 
    the black 

    hills 
    of 
    Dakota

    She was 
    washed 
    in 
    the blood 

    of the 
    dying 
    Sioux na
    tion 

    Raised 
    with 
    a proud, 

    but 
    a 
    wandering 
    heart 

    And she 
    knew 
    that 
    her roots 

    were 
    in the old 
    reserva
    tion 

    She 
    had stars 
    in 
    her 
    eyes 

    and great
    er 
    ex
    pecta
    tions 

    Verse 3

    No 
    rings 
    on 
    her fin
    gers, 

    no 
    bells 
    on 
    her toes 

    With 
    bugs 
    on 
    her head

    lights 
    and 
    runs 
    in 
    her hose 

    Through 
    the 
    valley 
    of 
    the 
    shadow 

    of 
    Roosevelt's 
    nose 

    Adios 
    South 
    Dakota, 

    adi
    os Sally 
    Rose 

    Interlude 1

    They've 
    got 
    a 
    national 
    Verse 4
    monument 

    carved 
    out 
    of stone 

    On the 
    side 
    of 
    a mountain 
    where 

    her 
    forefathers 
    roamed 

    Playing 
    cowboys 
    and Indians 
    right 

    under 
    the 
    nose 

    Of Theodore 
    Roosevelt 
    and the 

    sweet 
    Sally 
    Rose 

    Verse 5
    So she 
    left 
    Rapid 
    City 
    in the 

    blue 
    moonlight 
    hour 

    One her 
    eye 
    on the 
    highway 

    and her 
    foot on 
    the 
    floor 

    And 
    turning 
    the dial 
    she 

    was pulled 
    by 
    the power 

    Of the 
    word 
    coming 
    out 
    of that 

    broadcasting 
    tower 

    Verse 6
    No 
    rings 
    on 
    her fin
    gers, 

    no 
    bells 
    on 
    her toes 

    With 
    bugs 
    on 
    her head

    lights 
    and

    her hose 

    Through 
    the 
    valley 
    of 
    the 
    shadow

    no 
    bells 
    on

    her hose 

    Through the

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
