Verse 1
C
F
G
C
All day
on the
F
prairie in the saddle I ride
C
G
Not even a dog hoist to trot by my side
C
My fire I must kindle
Am
with chips gathered round
C
G
And boil my own coffee
C
without being ground
F
I wash in the pool and I sleep on a sack,
G
I carry my wardrobe on my
C
F
G
C
back.
For want of an oven
F
I cook bread in a pot,
C
G
And sleep on the ground for want of a cot.
C
My ceiling is the sky,
Am
my floor is the grass,
G
My music is the lowing of
C
herds as they pass.
My books are the brooks,
F
my sermons the stones,
G
My parson is a wolf
C
F
G
C
on his pulpit of bones.
And then if my cooking's
F
not very complete
C
G
You can't blame me for wanting to eat
C
But show me a man
Am
who sleeps more profound
G
Than the big puncher boy
C
who sleeps on the ground
My books teach me ever
F
-consistent surprise
G
My sermons, that small things
C
F
G
F
C
I should not despise.
My parson remarks from
F
his pulpit of thrones,
C
That fortune favors those who
G
look out for their own.
C
Between me and love
Am
lies a gulf very wide,
G
C
Some lucky fellow may call her his bride.
F
My friends gently hint I am coming to grief,
G
But men must make money,
C
F
G
C
and women have beef.
But why, it is I can ne 'er
F
C
understand,
For each of the patriarchs
G
owned a big brand.
C
Am
Abraham emigrated in search of a range
G
When water was scarce,
C
he wanted a change
F
Old Isaac owned cattle in charge of Esau
G
And Jacob punched cows
C
for his father -in -law

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
