    • Verse 1
    My 

    Pa 
    was a preacher, 
    one of the biggest 
    preachers in 

    the state. 
    I remember 
    the day behind yesterday, 

    Pa 
    was sitting on 
    the porch reading 
    the 

    Bible. 

    He told me, 
    he said, son, go 

    in the 
    backyard 
    and 

    get the dog 
    and gun and let's 

    go to hunting. 
    I said, 

    Pa, 
    I said, today 
    is 

    Sunday. 

    You ought to 

    be 
    somewhere preaching. 

    He 
    said, go and do what 
    I told you. 
    I 
    go on out 

    in the back
    yard, shoulder 

    the dog and whistle 
    for the 
    gun and go 

    on down in 
    the woods. 

    Get 
    out of there and the dog 

    get 

    behind something. 

    Runs the stuff way 
    on across the wood 

    and run it up a tree. 

    Me and 

    Pa gets over 
    there. 

    Got over 
    there and so many leaves 

    up the tree we couldn't 
    ski up it. 

    So 

    Pa told 
    me, he says, son, 

    go up 
    the tree and see what it is. 
    I said, 

    Pa, being she's 
    a little older than I am, 

    you go up there and 

    see what it 
    is. 

    Pa climbs on up 
    the tree and 

    gets up there and 
    gets on a rotten limb. 

    Down come 

    Pa, 
    down 

    come the limb, and down 

    comes something else. 

    It wasn't no coon, 
    it wasn't no 
    possum, 

    but it's a big 
    grizzly bear. 

    And 
    me and 

    Paul didn't have 
    to shift now again. 

    We 
    was already in high. 

    And me 
    and 

    Paul in that 
    bath. 

    By me being 
    a little younger than 

    Paul, I get in front of 

    Paul. 

    I look 
    back and 

    Paul in the bath was 
    playing a nip and tuck 

    game. 

    What I mean by 
    nip and tuck game, every 

    time the bath was nipping 

    Paul, 

    Paul would tuck 
    in for me. 

    By 

    Paul having a 
    little more speed than 
    me, 

    Paul gets back in 
    front of me. 

    I called him, 
    I said, 

    Paul, said, let's 
    have a prayer. 

    You's 
    a preacher. 

    He says, 
    son, the prayer's all 
    right in prayer meetings, 

    but it 
    ain't worth a dime 
    in bad meetings.

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
