    Miscellaneous 

    The Carpen
    ter (1987) 

    Let us 
    now 
    praise 
    the carpenter 
    and 

    the things 
    that he 
    made 

    And the 
    way 
    that he 
    lived 
    by 

    the tools 
    of 
    the trade 

    I can 
    still 
    hear his 
    hammer 

    singing 
    ten- 
    penny 
    time 

    Working 
    by 
    the hour 
    till 
    the day 

    that he 
    died 

    He 
    was 
    Verse 2
    tough 
    as 
    a crowbar, 

    he 
    was 
    quick 
    as 
    a chisel 

    Fair 
    as 
    a plane 
    and 
    true 
    as 
    a level 

    He 
    was straight 
    as 
    a chalk 

    line 
    and 
    right 
    as 
    a rule 

    He 
    was square 
    with 
    the world 
    he 
    took 

    good 
    care 
    of 
    his tools 

    Verse 3

    He 
    worked 
    his 
    hands 
    in 
    wood 
    from 

    the crib 
    to the 
    coffin 

    With a care 
    and 
    a love 
    that 

    you don't 
    see 
    too often 

    He 
    built 
    boats 
    out 
    of wood, 
    big 
    boats, 

    he 
    worked 
    in 
    a shipyard 

    Mansions 
    on 
    the 
    hill 
    and 
    a bird

    house 
    in 
    the 
    backyard 

    Verse 4

    He 
    was 
    tough 
    as 
    crowbar, 

    he 
    was 
    quick 
    as 
    chisel 

    Fair 
    as 
    plane 
    lord 
    and 
    true 
    as 
    level 

    He 
    was 
    straight 
    as 
    chalk 

    line 
    and 
    right 
    as 
    rule 

    He 
    was 
    square 
    with 
    the world 
    he 
    took 
    good 
    care 

    Interlude 1
    of 
    his 
    tools 




    He 
    said 
    Verse 5
    anything 
    that's 
    worth 

    cut
    ting 
    down 
    a tree 
    for 

    Is 
    worth 
    doing 
    right 
    don't 
    the 

    lord 
    love 
    a two 
    by 
    four 

    If you 
    asked 
    him 
    how 
    to do 
    something 

    he 
    said 
    like 
    Noah 
    built 
    the 
    Arc 

    You've 
    got 
    to 
    hold 
    your 
    mouth 
    right 
    son 

    and 
    never 
    miss 
    the 
    mark 

    Verse 6

    And 
    you'll 
    was 
    tough 
    as 
    crowbar, 

    you'll 
    was 
    quick 
    as 
    chisel 

    Fair 
    as 
    plane 
    and 
    true 
    as 
    a level 

    You'll 
    was straight 
    as 
    a chalk 

    line 
    and 
    right 
    as 
    rule 

    You'll 
    be 
    square 
    with 
    the 
    world 
    you 

    be 
    good 
    care 
    of 
    his 
    tools 

    Verse 7
    And you'll 
    was 
    tough 
    as 
    crowbar, 

    you'll was 
    quick 
    as 
    a chisel 

    Fair 
    as 
    plane 
    and 
    true 
    as 
    level 

    You'll 
    was 
    straight 
    as 
    chalk 

    line 
    and 
    right 
    as 
    rule 

    You'll 
    be 
    square 
    with 
    the 
    world 
    you 
    be 

    good 
    care 
    of 
    his 
    tools

    • 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.
