Verse 1

C
G
C
G

On the top shelf in the closet
C

In the workshop where
D
G

he spent his extra time
C

Was a dusty wooden box that I had
D
G

never noticed 'til that night
C

Then we set on the table and carefully
G

we opened up the top
D

And stared into the memories daddy
G

kept inside the box
Verse 2
C

There was a letter from mama,

when she went out to Reno
G

To help her sister out in '62
D

And a flower from Hawaii,

when they went on vacation

It was the first time that my
G

daddy ever flew
Verse 3
C

And the pocket knife I gave

to him on Fathers day
G

Years ago, I thought it had been lost
D

We all thought his heart

was made of solid rock

But that was long before
G
C
G

we found the box
Verse 4
G
C

I guess we always knew it but "I love
D
G

you" was hard for him to say
C

Some men show it easily and some
D
G

just never seem to find the way
C

But that night I began to see a
G

softer side of some I had lost
D

I saw the love he kept inside the first time
G

when we opened up the box
Verse 5
C

There was a picture that was taken

when he and mom were datin'
G

Standing by his 1940Ford
D

And a faded leather Bible he got

when he was baptized

I guess no one understood
G

him like the Lord
Verse 6
C

And the poem that he had written

all about his wife and children

The tender words he wrote
G

were quite a shock
D

We all thought his heart

was made of solid rock
G

But that was long before we found the box
D

We all thought his heart was made

of solid rock

But that was long before
G
C

  • 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.
