    Heart- 
    carved 
    tree 
    trunk, 

    Yankee 
    bayonet 

    A sweetheart 
    left 
    be
    hind 

    Far 
    from 
    the 
    hills 
    of 
    the sea-

    when 
    the 

    sun- 
    bright 
    swallow 

    Sings 
    upon 
    the 
    birch 
    bough 
    high 

    But 
    you 
    are 
    in 
    the 
    ground 
    with 

    the 
    wolves 
    and 
    the 
    weevils 

    All 
    a'chew on 
    your 
    bones 
    so 
    dry

    then 

    Verse 4
    will

    home 
    then 

    will 
    be 
    home 
    then 

    will 
    be 
    home 
    then, 
    then 

    Verse 5

    When 
    was 
    a girl 

    How 
    the 
    hills 
    of 
    Oconee 
    made 

    a seam 
    to 
    hem 
    me 
    in 

    There 
    at 
    the fair 
    when 
    our 
    eyes 
    caught, 

    careless 

    Got 
    my 
    heart 
    right 
    pierced 

    by 
    pin 

    Verse 6

    But 
    oh, 
    did 
    you 
    see 
    all 
    the 

    dead 
    of 
    Manassas? 

    All 
    the 
    bellies 
    and 
    the 
    bones 
    and 
    the 
    bile 

    No, 
    lingered 
    here 
    with 

    the 
    blankets 
    barren 

    And 
    my 
    own 
    belly 
    big 
    with 

    Interlude 2
    a child 


    Verse 7
    But 
    when 
    the 
    sun 
    breaks 

    To 
    no 
    more 
    bullets 
    in 
    Battle 
    Creek 

    Then 
    will 
    you 
    make 
    a grave? 

    For 
    will 
    be 
    home 
    then 

    will 
    be 
    Verse 8
    home 
    then 

    will 
    be 
    home 
    then 

    will 
    be 
    home 
    then 

    Verse 9

    Stems 
    and 
    bones 
    and stone 

    walls 
    too 

    Could keep 
    me 
    from 
    you 

    The skein 
    of skin 
    is 
    all 
    too 
    few 

    To keep 
    me 
    from 
    you 

    Verse 10

    But 
    oh 
    my 
    love, 

    though 
    our 
    bodies 
    may 
    be 
    parted 

    Though 
    our skin 
    may 
    not 
    touch 
    skin 

    Look 
    for 
    me 
    with 
    the sun- 
    bright 
    sparrow 

    will 
    come 
    on 
    the 
    breath 
    of 

    the 
    wind

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
