    Un
    der 
    the 

    branches 
    of 
    this 
    old 
    tree 

    That's 
    where I 
    first 
    saw 
    her 
    face 

    Now 
    here 
    we are 
    all 
    these 
    years 
    later 

    And 
    the pic
    ture 
    stays 
    the 
    same 

    On 
    the banks 
    of 

    that 
    old 
    black 
    river 

    We'd 
    wait 
    for 
    night 
    to 
    fall 

    An
    d 
    when our 
    time 
    was 

    good 
    and over 

    that old 
    tree 
    will 
    still 
    stand 
    tall 

    I 
    had 
    a friend 
    who 
    went 
    away 
    to 
    fight 
    a war 

    there 
    in 
    the 
    sand 
    he 
    never 
    made 
    it 
    home 
    again 

    for 
    a 
    war 
    I 
    couldn't 
    understand 

    And 
    he fell 
    doing 
    what 
    he 
    wanted, 

    but 
    now 
    that 
    light 
    is 
    gone 

    And 
    in 
    this world 
    of 
    blood 
    and fear, 

    that 
    old 
    tree 
    will 
    still 
    stand 
    tall 

    Our 
    times 
    are 
    changing, 

    not 
    farther 
    better, 

    as 
    far 
    as the 
    eye 
    can 
    see 

    These 
    notes 
    you're 
    holding, 

    how 
    much 
    do 
    you 
    really 

    need? 

    We 
    keep 
    on 
    chasing 
    the 
    gold 
    and 
    silver 

    Till 
    somebody 
    takes 
    it 
    all 

    An
    d 
    in 
    our times 
    of 
    power 
    and 
    greed 

    That 
    old 
    tree 
    will 
    still 
    stand 

    tall 

    You 



    Overlook
    ing 
    our 
    great 
    ocean, 

    came 
    a 
    wave 
    as 
    black 
    as 
    coal 

    It 
    took 
    the livelihood 
    of 
    many 

    An
    d 
    the 
    souls 
    of 
    many 
    more 

    Still 
    we 
    dig 
    for 
    all 
    the 
    answers 

    An
    d 
    watch 
    it 
    all 
    go 
    wrong 

    An
    d 
    in 
    this car
    nival 
    of 
    sor
    row, 

    that 
    old 
    tree 
    will 
    still 
    stand 
    tall 

    Our 
    times 
    are 
    changing, 

    not 
    farther 
    better, 

    as far 
    as the 
    eye 
    can 
    see 

    Is 
    what 
    we're 
    tak
    ing, 

    great
    er 
    than 
    the 
    whole 
    at 
    least 

    We 
    keep 
    on 
    pushing, 
    the 
    limit 
    further 

    Till 
    someday 
    it'll 
    all 
    be 
    gone 

    And 
    when I 
    get 
    back 
    home 
    tomor
    row, 


    will that old 
    tree 
    still 
    stand 
    tall? 

    We'll 
    find 
    a 
    way 
    to 
    make 
    it 
    better, 

    so 
    that old 
    tree 
    will 
    still 
    stand 
    tall. 

    you

      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

      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.
