  • Verse 1
    On the 
    top 
    shelf 
    in 
    the closet 

    In the 
    workshop 
    where 

    he spent 
    his 
    extra 
    time 

    Was 
    a dusty 
    wooden 
    box 
    that 
    I had 

    never 
    no
    ticed 
    'til 
    that 
    night 

    Then we 
    set 
    on 
    the table 
    and carefully 

    we 
    opened 
    up 
    the top 

    And 
    stared 
    into 
    the memories 
    daddy 

    kept 
    inside 
    the box 

    Verse 2
    There was 
    letter 
    from mama, 

    when 
    she went 
    out 
    to Reno 

    To 
    help 
    her sister 
    out 
    in 
    '62 

    And a 
    flower 
    from 
    Hawaii, 

    when 
    they went 
    on 
    vacation 

    It was 
    the first 
    time 
    that 
    my 

    daddy 
    ever 
    flew 

    Verse 3
    And the 
    pocket 
    knife 
    gave 

    to him 
    on 
    Fathers 
    day 

    Years 
    ago, 
    I thought 
    it had 
    been 
    lost 

    We 
    all 
    thought 
    his heart 

    was made 
    of solid 
    rock 

    But 
    that was 
    long 
    before 

    we 
    found 
    the 
    box 

    Verse 4
    guess 
    we 
    always 
    knew it 
    but 
    "I love 

    you" 
    was hard 
    for 
    him 
    to 
    say 

    Some 
    men 
    show 
    it 
    easily 
    and 
    some 

    just 
    never 
    seem 
    to find 
    the 
    way 

    But 
    that night 
    began 
    to see 

    softer 
    side 
    of some 
    I had 
    lost 

    saw 
    the love 
    he kept 
    inside 
    the first 
    time 

    when we 
    opened 
    up 
    the box 

    Verse 5
    There was 
    picture 
    that 
    was taken 

    when he 
    and mom 
    were datin' 

    Standing 
    by 
    his 
    1940
    Ford 

    And 
    faded 
    leather 
    Bible 
    he got 

    when he 
    was 
    baptized 

    I guess 
    no one 
    understood 

    him 
    like 
    the Lord 

    Verse 6
    And the 
    poem 
    that 
    he 
    had 
    written 

    all 
    about 
    his 
    wife 
    and children 

    The 
    tender 
    words 
    he wrote 

    were quite 
    a shock

    We 
    all 
    thought 
    his 
    heart 

    was made 
    of solid 
    rock 

    But 
    that was 
    long 
    before 
    we 
    found 
    the box 

    We 
    all 
    thought 
    his heart 
    was made 

    of 
    solid 
    rock 

    But that was 
    long 
    before 

    we 
    found 
    the 
    box

    • 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.
