    cried 

    She 
    begged me 
    not to 
    leave her, 

    for 
    me she 
    would have 
    died 

    Her 
    poor old 
    heart was 
    breaking 

    breaking 
    for 
    me that's 
    all 

    But 
    with God's 
    help I'll

    Verse 4
    That 
    very 
    night old

    stand his 
    guard 

    The 
    night was 
    dark 
    and cloudy 

    the storm 
    was very 
    hard 

    Then 
    the cattle 
    all got 
    frightened 

    and they 
    ran in 
    wild stam
    pede 

    He 
    tried 
    his best to 
    turn the 

    herd while 
    riding 
    at full 
    speed 

    Verse 5
    He 
    was riding 
    in the 
    darkness 

    as 
    loudly 
    he did 
    shout 

    He 
    did 
    his best 
    to head the 
    leaders 

    and turn 
    the herd 
    about 

    Then 
    his saddle 
    horse did 
    stumble 
    and 

    upon him 
    it did 
    fall 

    Charlie won't

    Mother 
    boys when

    Verse 6

    Jack, you 
    may have my 
    pistol 
    and 

    Doo you 
    may have my 
    bed 

    And 
    Jim you 
    may have my 
    saddle 

    after 
    I am 
    dead 

    Please write 
    my Mother 
    gently 

    and 
    tell her 
    of my 
    fall 

    For

    see my 
    Mother 
    boys when 

    the work's 
    all done this 
    fall 

    Verse 7
    Charlie 
    died at 
    day break, 

    no 
    tomb
    stone 
    at his 
    head 

    There 
    was 
    nothing 
    but a wooden 

    slab 
    and 
    this is 
    what it 
    said 

    "Charlie 
    died at 
    sunrise. 

    He 
    died 
    from a fall 

    He's 
    heading 
    for that 
    better 

    range 
    he heard his 
    Master 
    call

      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 🙂

      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.
