    Verse 1
    And the 
    old 
    man 
    said, 

    "Son, 
    I don't 
    have 
    long 
    to 
    live" 

    He 
    slowly 
    raised 
    his 
    cup 
    and 
    he 
    took 
    a sip 

    And 
    the old 
    man 
    said, 

    "I've 
    fought 
    a dang 
    good 
    fight" 

    So 
    I 
    pulled 
    up 
    a chair 
    and sat 

    there 
    half 
    the 
    night 

    Verse 2
    And the 
    old 
    man 
    said, 

    "Don't 
    take 
    a single 
    day 
    for granted 

    Love 
    like 
    there's 
    no 
    tomorrow 

    Tend 
    to 
    the seeds 
    you planted 

    Be 
    a 
    good 
    friend 
    and 
    a brother 

    Love 
    your 
    children 
    and their 
    mother 

    And 
    die 
    by 
    those 
    living 

    words 
    in 
    red" 

    And the 
    old 
    man 
    said 

    Verse 3
    "Money 
    really 
    ain't 
    worth 
    a dime" 

    Then 
    gave 
    me 
    his 
    golden 
    watch, 
    said, 

    "It's 
    all 
    borrowed 
    time" 

    And the 
    old 
    man 
    said, 

    "If 
    I 
    could 
    do 
    it 
    all 
    again 

    I'd spend 
    more 
    time 
    loving 
    her 

    and a 
    little 
    more 
    time 
    fishing" 

    And 
    the 
    old 
    Verse 4
    man 
    said, 

    "Don't 
    take 
    a single 
    day 
    for granted 

    Love 
    like 
    there's 
    no 
    tomorrow 

    Tend 
    to 
    the seeds 
    you planted 

    Be a 
    good 
    friend 
    and 
    a brother 

    Love 
    your 
    children 
    and their 
    mother 

    And 
    die 
    by 
    those 
    living 

    words 
    in 
    red" 

    And the 
    old 
    man 
    said 

    Verse 5

    Don't 
    build 
    walls 
    around 
    your 
    heart 

    Never 
    shackle 
    up your 
    soul 

    Love 
    is 
    the 
    only 
    thing 
    that 
    you'll take 

    with 
    you 
    when 
    you go 

    Always 
    be quick 
    to 
    forgive, 

    forever 
    slow 
    to 
    throw 
    stones 

    Just 
    like 
    a flash, 

    life 
    is 
    a dash 
    between 
    the 
    birth 
    and 
    the bones 

    Verse 6
    And the 
    old 
    man 
    said, 
    "Son, 

    I 
    can see 
    the 
    light" 

    Then 
    he took 
    my 
    hand 
    and 

    he squeezed 
    it tight 

    The 
    last 
    thing 
    the 
    old man 
    said 

    "Don't 
    you 
    dare 
    be scared 
    of 
    death 

    It's 
    only 
    the 
    be
    ginning" 

    And 
    he took 
    his last 
    breath

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
