  • Verse 1
    There's 
    little 
    white 
    note 

    on 
    gate 
    by 
    the 
    road 

    That 
    a man 
    put up 
    yesterday 

    And 
    when 
    we 
    saw 
    it 
    we 
    all 
    ran 
    out 

    Just 
    to see 
    what 
    it 
    had 
    to say 

    And 
    when 
    we 
    read 
    it 
    our 

    eyes 
    filled 
    with tears 

    And 
    they 
    fell 
    to 
    the 
    cold 
    hard 
    clay 

    Something 
    'bout 
    a mortgage 

    Something 
    'bout 
    foreclosure 

    Something 
    'bout 
    fail
    ing 
    to 
    pay 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    and 
    on 
    the post 
    by 
    the 

    general 
    store 

    They've 
    put 
    up 
    little 
    sign 

    An 
    auction 
    sale, 
    day 
    after 
    tomorrow 

    At 
    the 
    end 
    of

    Thirty 
    years 
    of 
    day 
    to 
    day 

    Oh, 
    my 
    Daddy 
    stopped 
    talking 

    The day 
    the farm

    Verse 3
    Oh, 
    my 
    mama's 
    tears 
    fell 
    freely 
    down 

    As 
    she 
    walked 
    amongst 
    the 

    flowers 
    in 
    the 
    yard 

    And 
    every 
    number 
    the 
    auctioneer 
    called 

    Was 
    like 
    a blow 
    to 
    her 
    precious 
    heart 

    And 
    every 
    number 
    the 
    auctioneer 
    called 

    Meant 
    an
    other 
    thing 
    was sold 
    that 
    day 

    'Til 
    everything 
    was auctioned 

    And 
    we 
    stood 
    there 
    watching 

    As 
    they loaded 
    it 
    and 
    drove 
    it 
    away

    Interlude 1





    Verse 5
    At 
    the day's 
    first 
    dawning 

    We 
    awoke 
    this 
    morning 

    There 
    was noth
    ing 
    for 
    us 
    to 
    do 

    Nothing 
    in 
    the granary 

    No 
    hay 
    in 
    the mow 

    No 
    cattle, 
    no 
    tractor, 
    no tools 

    So 
    we 
    loaded 
    up 
    the car 

    With 
    the clothes 
    that 
    we wore 

    And 
    the few 
    things 
    we managed 
    to save 

    Mama 
    read 
    from 
    The 
    Book 

    We 
    took 
    one 
    last 
    look 

    And 
    then 
    we 
    drove 
    away

      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.
