    • Verse 1
    January 
    and 
    the air 
    is cold 

    It's 
    been 
    a while 
    since 

    I heard 
    my 
    mother's 
    tone 

    Yet 
    I know 
    when 
    I need her 
    most 

    She 
    lends 
    me her 
    shoulder

    Carries 
    my 
    grief 
    like 
    hidden 
    sin 

    Even 
    through the 
    times 

    I wouldn't 
    let 
    her in 

    Now 
    I'll never 
    make the 
    same 

    mistake 
    ever 
    again 

    Verse 2

    Sometimes 
    it takes 
    the strong 
    hand 

    Of 
    a kind- 
    hearted 
    mother 

    to make 
    a 
    weak 
    man 

    Dig 
    down 
    deep 
    and find 
    the strength 

    from somewhere 

    To withstand 
    more 
    than 
    he can 

    without 
    her 
    care 


    Verse 3
    Lately 
    I've 
    been 
    calling 
    home 

    Speaking 
    to my 
    brothers 
    on 
    the phone 

    And 
    we laugh 
    as 
    we're 

    looking 
    back 

    Over 
    our 
    shoulder

    Laughing 
    'bout 
    games 
    that 

    we played 
    to win 

    And how we 
    wouldn't 
    let 
    each other 
    in 

    How we'll 
    never 
    make 

    the 
    same 
    mistakes 

    Ever 
    again 

    Verse 4
    Sometimes 
    it takes 
    the 
    strong 
    hand 

    Of 
    a kind- 
    hearted 
    brother 

    to make 
    the 
    weak 
    man 

    Dig down 
    deep 
    and 
    find 
    the strength 

    from somewhere 

    To withstand 
    more 
    than 
    he can 

    without 
    his 
    care 


    Verse 5
    It's 
    hard 
    to think 
    there was 
    a 

    time 
    when I 
    believed 
    I 

    Would 
    never 
    see 
    a 
    future 

    Now I 
    can't 
    see 
    anything 
    clear
    er 

    Verse 6
    So tonight 
    I'm 
    coming 
    home 

    Can't 
    bear to 
    think 
    of you 

    lying 
    there 
    alone 

    Stroke your 
    hair 
    and 
    I'll 

    kiss 
    your back 

    Then 
    right 
    up over 
    your 
    shoulder

    Dive 
    into your 
    world 
    like 

    it's gonna 
    en
    d 

    Like 
    I may 
    never 
    get the 
    chance 
    again 

    Everybody 
    needs some
    body 
    on 

    whom they can 
    de
    pend 

    Verse 7
    Sometimes 
    it takes

    Of

    hearted 
    wo
    man 

    to make

    from somewhere 

    To withstand 
    more 
    than 

    he can 
    without 
    her 
    care 

    Verse 8
    Sometimes 
    it takes 
    a 
    little 
    planning 

    And 
    whole 
    lotta 
    under
    standing 

    to make

    man 

    Dig down

      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 🙂

      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.
