    • Verse 1
    She 
    visits 
    the 
    place that 

    the tour groups 
    must have 

    She's 
    shocked to find 

    somebody 
    there 

    With a sun- 
    beaten 
    face, 

    and a silver
    - grey 
    head 

    He knelt 
    on the 
    floor unaware 

    He said "I'm 
    sorry 
    Verse 2
    madam" 

    as he lent 
    her his 
    hand 

    "I know 
    I must 
    be a strange 

    sight 

    But I've been 
    coming 
    here for 

    some thirty 
    odd years 

    Ever since 
    my 
    sweet lady 
    died 

    But 
    I sure 
    am glad 
    you listened 

    Oh, I sure 
    am glad 
    you 
    came 

    I've been 
    waiting 
    here 
    in this 
    mission 

    Ever 
    since 
    that 
    day" 

    Verse 3
    Oh, 
    that sum
    mer 
    we 
    met, only 

    fools 
    could forget 

    Just 
    how 
    perfect 
    a wo
    man 
    could 
    be 

    By the 
    time 
    she was 
    late, 

    we had 
    both 
    set 
    a date 

    In 
    a 
    place 
    where 
    she would 
    marry 
    me 

    Verse 4
    But 
    a 
    gringo 
    brought shame 

    to their 
    proud 
    family 
    name 

    And 
    her father 
    forbade 
    it 
    to be 

    So in 
    less 
    than 
    a week, 

    we found 
    her 
    by 
    the creek 

    And the 
    parents 
    blamed 
    it 
    all 
    on 
    me 

    But 
    I sure 
    Verse 5
    am 
    glad 
    you 
    listened 

    And 
    I 
    sure 
    am 
    glad 
    you 
    came 

    I've 
    been 
    waiting 
    here 
    in this 
    mis
    sion 

    Ever 
    since 
    that 
    day 

    Verse 6
    Well, 
    her name 
    was 
    mar
    ie 

    And the 
    day 
    she met 
    me 

    Was 
    the wor
    st 
    day 
    of both 
    of 
    our 
    lives 

    If 
    it 
    wasn't 
    for 
    me, 
    I would 
    truly 
    believe 

    My 
    sweetheart 
    could still 
    be 
    alive 

    She said 
    Verse 7
    "Darling 
    be
    lieve 
    don't 

    you 
    re
    cognize 
    me? 

    Though 
    you 
    waited 
    here 
    all

    time 

    They 
    had 
    shipped 
    me 
    away 
    to 

    my fam
    ily 
    in Spain 

    We can 
    get 
    on 
    with 
    our 
    lives 

    We 
    still 
    have 
    plenty 
    of 
    time 

    Verse 8
    'Cause 
    I 
    sure 
    am 
    glad 
    I 
    listened 

    Oh, 
    I 
    sure 
    am 
    glad 
    I 
    came 

    I 
    made 
    looking 
    for 
    you 
    my 
    mission 

    Ever 
    since 
    that 
    day 

    Oh, 
    I sure 
    am 
    Verse 9
    glad 
    you 
    listened 

    Oh, I 
    sure

      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.
