    • Verse 1
    The time 
    is 
    near 
    for thing

    s 
    to pass 

    The time 
    for 
    me 
    to 
    leave 

    But 
    as 
    I 
    lie 
    hear 
    all 
    alone 

    I 
    really 
    can't 
    believe 

    That twenty 
    years 
    I've spent 
    on 

    earth 
    would 
    end 
    in 
    so 
    much 
    grief 

    That 
    the many 
    friendly 
    faces 
    should 

    now 
    stare 
    hate
    fully 

    Verse 2

    A let
    ter 
    home 
    to mother, 

    and 
    a 
    let
    ter 
    home 
    to dad 

    An
    other 
    to 
    my 
    sweetheart, 

    for 
    whom 
    I 
    feel 
    so 
    sad 

    A lock 
    of 
    hair 
    to cling 
    to 
    is 

    all 
    that 
    will 
    re
    main 

    And 
    the 
    grave 
    inside 
    this 
    prison 
    yard 

    A stone 
    that 
    bears 
    no 
    name 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    My 
    tri
    als 
    and 
    tribu
    lations 

    are nearly 
    now 
    all 
    gone 

    A murderer 
    I 
    never 
    was 
    and 

    my spirit 
    will 
    live 
    on 

    Jesus, 
    help 
    me 
    in 
    this 
    troubled 
    time 

    This 
    hour 
    of 
    trouble 
    deep 

    Help 
    me 
    find 
    my 
    peace 
    of 
    mind 

    Help 
    me 
    Lord, 
    to sleep

      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.
