lived there in a tiny house together.

Jim and

Heather didn't have any gold

or coins or paper money to be told.

But this was usually not a bother,

because they both had each other.

One

Christmas

Eve, it snowed and snowed.

Heather went down the icy road.

She wanted to buy

Holly and candy canes all in a row.

Beautiful presents were piled up high.

Oh, I've got no money,

she cried.

Heather had an idea, quick as a flash.

Back through the snow she did dash.

Upstairs to her bedroom she ran,

excited about her special plan.

Inside the wardrobe was her special dress,

all glittery blue and made to impress.

Covered in ribbons, silver and red.

I'll swap it for

Jim's gift, she said.

Heather took her to the dress

Miss

Jiggy, can I do a swap?

D
G

Of course dear, plump

Miss

Jiggy said.

Choose whatever you'd like instead.

Heather saw a beautiful watch chain

that looped around and around again.
F

It was as gold as butterscotch and
C
F

Jim had no chain for his watch.
C

Can I have this please?" she said,
F
Dm

and swapped the dress for the chain instead.
F

She knew
C

Jim's present was the best.

What it was, he couldn't have guessed.

Jim came home later through the snow.

At home,

Heather's cheeks were all aglow.
C
Am

Jim, I've got you a present! she cried.

I've got you one too, he replied.

Have you?
Ab

Heather
C

said surprised.

This was a

Christmas

Eve to be prized.
G

Here it is,

Jim said very excited.

She opened the parcel so delighted.

A huge, shiny blue bow was inside.

Heather stared at it wide -eyed.
G

Jim said,
C

It's for your special dress, sis.

Gah!
Db

She said,

I didn't expect this.

Oh, don't you like it?" said poor

Jim.
G

Then she gave his present to him.
D
G

He ripped the paper wide open and

the watch chain sparkled inside.

Suddenly,

Jim gave a great guffaw.

Ha!
Am
D
A

He giggled loudly at what he saw.
D

Dearest sis,

did you do a swap for this present at

Miss

Jiggy's shop?

Uh, yes, I swapped my dress,

she said.
G

Jim laughed more and shook his head.
C

I swapped my watch to get your bow.
G

Now your dress is gone. I didn't know.

But you swapped your dress for me,
A

and I swapped my watch, as you see.
Am

It shows how much we care for each other,
D
G

dearest sis, how we love one another.

  • 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.
