    You 
    better 
    sit 
    down, 

    kids, 
    and 
    I'll 
    tell 
    you why, 
    kids. 

    You 
    might 
    not 
    under
    stand, 

    kids, 
    but 
    give 
    it a 
    try, 
    kids. 

    Now 
    how 
    should 
    I 
    put 
    this 
    I 
    got 

    something 
    I 
    want 
    to say 

    Your 
    mother 
    is 
    a 
    stay 
    -in 

    But 
    I'm going 
    away 

    No, 
    we're 
    not 
    mad 
    kid
    s, 

    and 
    it's 
    hard 
    to 
    say 
    why, 
    but 
    your 
    mother 
    and 

    I, 
    kids, 
    just 
    don't 

    see 
    eye 
    to 
    eye. 

    Say 
    your 
    prayers 
    before 
    you 
    go to 
    bed, 

    make sure you 
    get yourself 
    to 
    school 
    on 
    time. 

    I 
    know you'll 
    do the 
    things 

    your mother 
    asks 

    She's 
    gonna 
    need 

    you more to 
    stay 
    in line 

    An
    d 
    keep in 
    mind 
    your 

    mother's 
    gonna 
    need your 
    help 

    A 
    whole 
    lot more 
    than she 
    ever 
    did before 

    An
    d 
    no more 
    fightin' 
    over 
    little 
    things 

    Cause 
    I 
    won't 
    be here to 
    stop 

    them anymore 

    You 
    know 
    I 
    don't 
    want 
    this 

    Neither 
    does 
    she 

    But 
    sometimes 
    things 
    happen 

    that 
    we 
    just 
    can
    't 
    foresee. 

    Now 
    try 
    to be 
    calm, 
    kids, 

    and 
    please 
    don't 
    be 
    too 
    sad. 

    Just 
    because 
    I 
    am 
    leaving, 

    you 
    know 
    I'll 
    still 
    be 
    your dad. 

    Say 
    your 
    prayers 
    before 
    you 
    go to 
    bed, 

    until you 
    get yourself 
    to 
    school 
    on 
    time. 

    I 
    know you'll 
    do the 
    things your 
    mother 
    asks, 

    she's gonna 
    need 
    you more to 
    stay 
    in 
    line. 

    Keep 
    in 
    mind, 
    your mother's 
    gonna 
    need 
    your help 

    a 
    whole 
    lot more 
    than she 
    ever 
    did before. 

    And 
    no 
    more fighting 
    over 
    little 
    things, 

    cause 
    I 
    won't be 
    there to 
    stop 
    them anymore. 

    Remember, 
    I 
    love 
    you, 
    and 
    though 
    I'm 
    not 
    here, 

    you 
    only 
    have 
    to call 
    if 
    you need 
    me, 
    and 

    I'll 
    always 
    be 
    near. 

    Well 
    I 
    really 
    have 
    to 
    go 
    now, 

    so 
    please 
    kiss 
    me 
    goodbye. 

    What's 
    that? 

    No, 
    my 
    eyes 
    are just 
    red 
    kid
    s. 

    You 
    know 
    your 
    daddy 
    is 
    too 

    big 
    to 
    cry. 


    Say 
    your 
    prayers 
    before 

    you 
    go 
    to bed, 

    Until you 
    get yourself 
    to 
    school 
    on 
    time. 

    I 
    know you'll 
    do the 
    things 

    your mother 
    asks, 

    It doesn't 
    mean 
    you'll never 
    stay 
    in line. 

    And 
    now 
    keep 
    in mind, 

    And 
    your mother's 
    gonna 
    need to 
    help 
    her 

    hold 
    up more 
    than she 
    ever 
    did before. 

    And 
    I'm 
    a -fightin' 
    all 
    the little 
    things, 

    cause I 
    won't 
    be there 
    to help 
    her anymore.

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
