smack in the eye
Didn't take that preacher
long to say bye
Verse 2
G
The preacher, he run till
he spotted a tree
He said,
"Up in that tree's where I oughta be"
By the time that bear made

The preacher was a sittin'
on top a that limb
Scared to death, he turned about
He looked to the sky and began to shout

Flyin' from left to right

The preacher and the bear runnin'

He was havin' a tough time
holdin' his own!
He said, "Lord if I get out a here alive
To the good book I'll abide
No more huntin' on the Sabbath day
Come Sunday I'm headin' to the
Verse 7
church to pray"
G
Up to the heavens the
preacher glanced
He said, "Lord won't you give me just
one more chance"

Seen a tree where he'd be

safe and sound

Jumped on a limb, turned about

Looked to the sky and began to shout

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 🙂”

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.”
