    Her 
    skin 
    was 
    Verse 1
    the color 

    Of the 
    mountains' first 
    winter 
    snow 

    His 
    skin 
    was 
    the color 

    Of the 
    hot 
    sun 
    summer 
    glow 

    And they 
    met 
    by 
    a 
    river 

    called 
    Okemah 

    In an 
    August 
    of another 
    time 

    She 
    fell 
    in 
    love 
    with this 
    red 
    man 

    And 
    left 
    her 
    people 
    behind 

    And she 
    learned 
    these 
    things 

    Verse 2
    The 
    ways 
    of 
    a 
    red

    And 
    his 
    woman 
    can 
    expect 
    little 
    more 

    And 
    a day 
    filled 
    with 
    hard 
    work 
    and 
    sorrow 

    And 
    so 
    she 
    lived 
    for 

    The nights, 
    the 
    nights 

    Verse 3
    And 
    they 
    followed 
    his 
    tribe 

    On a 
    hard 
    trail 
    to the 
    Dakotas 
    far 
    away 

    And 
    they 
    hunted 
    a big 
    buf
    falo 

    And they 
    heard 
    the 
    old 
    chief 
    say 

    The 
    white 
    man 
    has 
    walked 

    here 
    be
    fore 
    us 

    And 
    killed 
    buf
    falo 
    for 
    their 
    hides 

    And 
    so 
    this 
    winter 
    our 

    women 
    an
    d children 

    Will 
    feel 
    much

    things

    of 
    a red

    his 
    wo
    man

    Than 
    a day 
    filled 
    with 
    hard 

    work 
    and

    the 
    cold 
    ground 

    And 
    cursed 
    the 
    white 
    man 

    Who 
    killed 
    buffalo 
    for 
    their 
    hides 

    And they 
    buried 
    their 
    mothers 
    and 
    fathers 

    And 
    their children 
    they 
    loved 
    so 

    They 
    prayed 
    the son 
    God 
    will 
    come 
    soon 

    An
    d melt 
    the

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
