    Verse 1
    I 
    took 
    a bride 
    in the 
    bad
    lands 

    in 
    1852 

    She 
    was warm 
    as the 
    morning 
    sun 

    That shone 
    in the morning 
    in 
    the dew 

    There 
    wars 
    up 
    on 
    our 
    land 

    We could 
    not 
    settle 
    down 

    The 
    years 
    went 
    by 

    We 
    watched 
    our 
    people 
    die 

    We 
    laid 
    them 
    in 
    the 
    ground 

    Verse 2

    I 
    watched 
    my sons 
    grow 

    tall 
    and strong 

    But one 
    by 
    one 
    they 
    fell 

    My 
    daughters 
    were raped 
    by 
    the 
    Calvary 

    I 
    wish 
    them 
    all 
    to 
    hell 

    I 
    wished 
    them 
    all 
    to 
    hell 

    Verse 3

    Custer 
    said 
    to Crazy 
    horse 

    Wolves 
    are 
    on 
    your 
    heel 

    Crazy 
    horse 
    said 
    the wolves 
    will 
    howl 

    When 
    they 
    see 
    you 
    Kneel 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    The Battles 
    are raging 
    and 

    the bullets 
    flew 

    and the 
    skies 
    turned 
    red 

    The 
    men 
    all 
    fought 
    un
    to 
    the 
    end 

    The 
    women 
    and 
    the children 
    fled 

    Verse 5

    When sitting 
    Bull 
    was 
    killed 

    in the 
    stockade 

    For the crime 
    of being 
    proud 

    The people 
    all 
    went 
    with 
    big 
    Foot 
    to 
    find 

    The 
    renegade 
    Chief 
    Red 
    cloud 

    Verse 6

    I 
    caught 
    a bullet 
    in 
    my 
    knee 

    I passed 
    out from 
    the 
    pain 

    When 
    I finally 
    came 
    again 

    They said 
    my 
    wife 
    had 
    been 
    slain 

    They 
    said 
    my 
    wife 
    had 
    been 
    slain 

    Verse 7

    Custer 
    did 
    to crazy 
    horse 

    Can 
    you feel 
    my 
    blood 
    on your 
    heels 

    Crazy 
    horse 
    said 
    the sound 
    of 
    a heartbeat 

    is 
    a sound 
    you'll 
    never 
    feel 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 8
    they 
    dug a 
    grave 
    in 
    the back 

    of the 
    church 

    Verse 9
    laid 
    my 
    people 
    in 
    the ground 

    Bur
    ied 
    my 
    wife 
    and my 
    last 
    long 
    son 

    I 
    hung 
    my 
    heavy 
    head 
    down 

    Verse 10

    The medicine 
    man 
    he 
    gathered 

    us 
    together 

    Distance 
    in his 
    eyes 

    and before 
    he 
    spoke 
    a word 

    He raised 
    his hands 
    to 
    the sky 

    Verse 11

    Through 
    our 
    battles 
    have 
    been 
    lost 

    No 
    one 
    has 
    been 
    won 

    Though 
    it be 
    a hundred 
    years 

    We 
    will over
    come 

    We 
    will overcome 

    Verse 12

    He 
    lifted 
    his 
    head 
    and he 

    said 
    once 
    more 

    Turn 
    your 
    eyes 
    to the 
    east 

    Soon 
    the morning 
    sun 
    will 
    come 

    No 
    war 
    can 
    cause 
    to 
    cease 

    No 
    war 
    can 
    cause 
    to 
    cease.

      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.
