  • Verse 1
    I set 
    a friend 
    of mine 
    up 
    on 
    a date 

    And I 
    told 
    him 
    I'd 
    watch 

    his 
    boy 
    for 
    the 
    day 

    And 
    we 
    had 
    ball 
    playin' 
    games, 

    eat
    in' 
    dogs 

    Riding 
    rides 
    at 
    the county 
    fair 

    thought 
    he 
    was 
    just 
    being 
    a kid 

    When 
    we got 
    back 
    to my 
    place 

    And he 
    did 
    what 
    he 
    did 

    On 
    bal
    loon 
    that 
    he 
    won 

    He wrote 
    mama 
    had 
    fun 

    missed 
    you 
    and I 
    wished 
    you 
    were 
    there 

    wasn't 
    sure 
    what 
    he 
    had 
    in 
    mind 

    'Till 
    he 
    jumped 
    up 
    and 
    ran 
    outside 
    and 

    Verse 2
    He 
    let 
    it 
    go, 
    he 
    waved 
    goodbye, 

    or 
    was 
    it 
    hello? 

    don't 
    know 
    but 
    died 
    inside 

    can still 
    see 
    his 
    excitement 

    Him 
    pointing 
    and smilin' 

    When 
    it 
    was 
    gone 
    as 
    it 
    could 
    get 

    He turned 
    and 
    asked 
    me 

    You 
    think 
    it's 
    in 
    Heaven 

    yet? 

    Verse 3

    Well I struggled 
    for 
    something 
    to say 

    was too 
    choked 
    up 
    and 

    Lackin' 
    the 
    kind 
    of faith 

    he 
    had 
    in 
    his 
    heart 

    Be
    fore 
    could start 

    He 
    walked 
    me 
    back 
    inside 

    He 
    gave 
    me 
    his 
    Crayola pen 

    Said, 
    bet 
    there's 
    a message 

    that 
    you'd 
    like 
    to send 

    And 
    no 
    doubt 
    he 
    was 
    right 

    it's 
    been 
    locked 

    Up 
    inside 
    since 
    Grandpa 
    said 
    goodbye 

    took 
    that 
    yellow 
    balloon 

    and 
    wro
    te 

    'Til 
    ran 
    out 
    of 
    room 
    then 

    Verse 4
    let 
    it 
    go 
    and 
    we 

    waved 
    goodbye 

    That seven 
    year 
    old 

    Lord 
    he 
    opene
    d my 
    eyes 

    can still 
    see 
    his 
    excitement 

    Him 
    pointing 
    and smil
    in' 

    When 
    it 
    was 
    gone 
    as 
    it 
    could 
    get 

    turned 
    and 
    asked 
    him 

    You think 
    it's 
    in 
    Heaven 
    yet?

    • 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.
