    turnin' 

    Some

    and 
    turn 
    around

    Verse 11

    fields 
    of 
    grain, 

    the staff

    you, 
    you 
    will cut 
    someone 
    down 

    For 
    their 
    possessions, 

    some 
    material 
    thing 

    And our

    my 
    boy?"

    He 
    extended 
    his 
    hand 

    He 
    gave

    He 
    gave 
    them 
    his 
    heart

      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.
