    • Verse 1
    Two southern 
    rallying 
    songs 

    were Dixie, 

    which originated 
    as a northern 

    minstrel tune, 

    and The 
    Bonnie Blue 
    Flag, 

    based on 
    an Irish musical 
    song. 

    We 
    are a 
    band of 
    brothers 

    and 
    native 
    to the 
    soil 

    Fight
    ing 
    for our 
    property 

    we 
    gain by 
    honest toil 

    And 
    when our 
    rights were 
    threatened 

    the 
    cry rose 
    near and 
    far 

    Hurrah 
    for 
    the 
    bon
    nie blue 
    flag 

    that 
    bears a 
    single 
    star 

    Hurrah, 
    hurrah 
    for 
    South
    ern 
    rights 

    Hur
    rah, 
    hurrah 
    for 
    the 
    bonnie blue 
    flag 

    that 
    car
    ries a 
    single 
    star 

    As 
    long 
    as the 
    Union 

    was 
    faithful 
    to her 
    trust, 

    Like 
    friends and 
    like 
    brothers, 

    we 
    were kind 
    and we were 
    just. 

    But 
    now when 
    Northern 
    treachery 

    attempts 
    our 
    rights to 
    mar, 

    We 
    hoist on 
    high the 
    bon
    nie blue 
    flag 

    that 
    bears a 
    single 
    star. 

    Hurrah! 
    Hurrah! 

    For 
    South
    ern rights! 

    Hur
    rah! 
    Hurrah! 

    For the 
    bonnie blue 
    flag 

    that 
    carries a 
    single 
    star!

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
