    • Verse 1
    There 
    was 
    a 
    tall 
    oak 
    tree 

    That 
    loved 
    a 
    babblin' 
    brook 

    And 
    the 
    babblin' 
    brook 

    Loved 
    the 
    mountain 
    high 

    And 
    the 
    mountain 
    high 

    Loved 
    the sky 
    above 

    The 
    Cre
    ator 
    looked 
    down 

    And 
    saw 
    everything 
    was 
    love, 
    love, 
    love 

    Verse 2
    Then, 
    he 
    took 
    a 
    bone 

    And 
    a 
    piece 
    of 
    mud 

    He 
    made 
    a man 
    and 
    a 
    woman 

    To 
    be 
    flesh 
    and 
    blood 

    Then 
    along 
    came 
    the 
    devil 

    Up 
    out 
    of the 
    ground 

    He 
    tempted 
    the woman 

    And 
    that 
    spread 
    sin 
    all 
    around, 

    all 
    around, 
    all 
    around 

    Verse 3
    Now, if 
    she'd 
    left 
    that 
    apple 

    On 
    that 
    apple 
    tree 

    There'd 
    be 
    no 
    tears 
    or 
    sorrow 

    We'd 
    live 
    eternally 

    Verse 4
    And 
    then 
    along 
    came 
    Man 

    And 
    burned 
    the 
    oak 
    tree 
    down 

    And 
    now 
    the 
    babblin' 
    brook 

    Is 
    a solid 
    ground 

    And 
    the 
    moun
    tain 
    high 

    Don't 
    stand 
    so 
    high 

    And 
    there's 
    a 
    cloud 
    of 
    smoke 

    That 
    cov
    ers 
    up 
    the 
    clear 
    blue 
    sky 

    Verse 5
    There 
    was 
    a 
    tall 
    oak 
    tree 

    There 
    was 
    a 
    tall 
    oak 
    tree 

    There 
    was 
    a 
    tall 
    oak 
    tree

      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.
