    Verse 1
    Way 
    back 
    in 
    the 
    hills, 

    when 
    a boy, 
    once 
    wandered 

    Buried 
    deep 
    in 
    her 
    grave 

    lies 
    the 
    one 
    that 
    love 

    She 
    was 
    called 
    from 
    this 

    earth, a 
    jewel 
    for 
    Heaven 

    More 
    precious 
    than 
    diamonds, 

    more 
    precious 
    than 
    gold 

    Verse 2

    jewel 
    here 
    on 
    earth, 

    jewel 
    in 
    Heaven 

    She'll 
    brighten 
    the 
    kingdom 

    around 
    God's 
    great 
    throne 

    May 
    the 
    angels 
    have 
    peace, 

    God 
    bless 
    her 
    in 
    Heaven 

    They've 
    broken 
    my 
    heart 
    and 

    they 
    left 
    me 
    to 
    roam 

    Verse 3

    When 
    girl 
    of 
    sixteen, 

    we 
    courted 
    each 
    other 

    She 
    promised 
    someday 
    to 

    be
    come 
    my 
    sweet 
    wife 

    bought 
    her 
    the 
    ring 
    to 
    wear 
    on 
    her 
    finger 

    But 
    the 
    angels 
    they 
    called 
    her 

    to 
    Heaven 
    one 
    night 

    Verse 4
    A jewel 
    here on 
    earth, a jewel 
    in Heaven 


    She'll brighten 
    the 
    kingdom 

    around 
    God's 
    great 
    throne 

    May 
    the 
    angels 
    have 
    peace, 

    God 
    bless 
    her 
    in 
    Heaven 

    They've 
    broken 
    my 
    heart 

    and 
    they left 
    me to 
    roam 

    Verse 5
    This 
    world 
    has 
    it 
    wealth, 

    its 
    trials 
    and 
    troubles 

    Mother 
    Earth 
    holds 
    her 
    treasures 

    of 
    diamonds 
    and 
    gold 

    But 
    it 
    can't 
    hold 
    the 
    soul 
    of 

    one 
    precious 
    jewel 

    She's 
    resting 
    in 
    peace 
    with 
    the 

    Heavenly 
    fold 

    Interlude 1

    May 
    the 
    angels 
    have 
    peace, 

    God 
    bless 
    her 
    in 
    Heaven 

    They've 
    broken 
    my 
    heart 

    and 
    they 
    left

    to 
    roam

    • 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

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • 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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
