    Verse 1
    I 
    woke 
    up 
    crying 
    late 
    at 
    night 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    very 
    young 

    I 
    had 
    dreamed 
    my 
    fa
    ther 

    Had 
    passed 
    away 
    and 
    gone 

    Verse 2
    My 
    world 
    revolved 
    a
    round 
    him 

    I 
    couldn't 
    lie 
    there 
    any
    more 

    So 
    I 
    made 
    my 
    way 
    down 
    the 
    mirrored 
    hall 

    And 
    tapped 
    up
    on 
    his 
    door 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    I 
    said 
    "Daddy, 
    I'm 
    so 
    afraid 

    How 
    will 
    I 
    go 
    on 
    with 
    you 
    gone 
    that 
    way? 

    Don't 
    want 
    to 
    cry 
    anymore, 

    so 
    may 
    I 
    stay 
    with 
    you?" 

    And 
    he 
    said 
    "That's 
    my 
    job 

    That's 
    what 
    I 
    do 

    Eve
    rything 
    I 
    do 
    is 
    be
    cause 
    of 
    you 

    To 
    keep 
    you 
    safe 
    with 
    me 

    That's 
    my 
    job, 
    you 
    see" 

    Verse 3
    Later 
    we 
    barely 
    got 
    along 

    This 
    teenage 
    boy 
    and 
    he 

    Most 
    of 
    the 
    fights 
    it 
    seems 

    Were 
    over 
    different 
    dreams 

    We 
    each 
    held 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 4
    He 
    wanted 
    knowledge 
    and 
    learning 

    I 
    wanted 
    to 
    fly 
    out 
    west 

    Said, 
    "I 
    could 
    make 
    it 
    out 
    there 

    If 
    I 
    just 
    had 
    the 
    fare 

    I 
    got 
    half, 
    will 
    you 
    loan 
    me 
    the 
    rest?" 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    I 
    said 
    "Daddy, 
    I'm 
    so 
    afraid 

    There's 
    no 
    guarantee 
    in 
    the 
    plans 

    I've 
    made, 
    and 
    if 
    I 
    should 
    fail 

    Who 
    will 
    pay 
    my 
    way 
    back 
    home?" 

    And 
    he 
    said 
    "That's 
    my 
    job 

    That's 
    what 
    I 
    do 

    Eve
    rything 
    I 
    do 
    is 
    be
    cause 
    of 
    you 

    To 
    keep 
    you 
    safe 
    with 
    me 

    That's 
    my 
    job, 
    you 
    see" 

    Bridge 1
    Every 
    person 
    carves 
    his 
    spot 

    And 
    fills 
    the 
    hole 
    with 
    light 

    And 
    I 
    pray 
    someday 
    I 
    might 

    Light 
    as 
    bright 
    as 
    he 

    Verse 5
    Woke 
    up 
    early 
    one 
    bright 
    fall 
    day 

    To 
    spread 
    the 
    tragic 
    news 

    After 
    all 
    my 
    travel, 
    I 
    settled 
    down 

    Within 
    a 
    mile 
    or 
    two 

    Verse 6
    I 
    make 
    my 
    living 
    with 
    words 
    and 
    rhyme 

    And 
    all 
    this 
    trage
    dy, 

    should 
    go 
    into 
    my 
    head 
    and 
    out 
    instead 

    as 
    bits 
    of 
    poet
    ry 

    Chorus 3
    But 
    I 
    say 
    "Daddy, 
    I'm 
    so 
    afraid 

    How 
    will 
    I 
    go 
    on 
    with 
    you 
    gone 
    this 
    way? 

    How 
    can 
    I 
    come 
    up 
    with 
    a 
    song 
    to 
    say 

    I 
    love 
    you?" 

    "That's 
    my 
    job,

    what 
    I 
    do 

    Eve
    rything

    Everything 
    I 
    do

      "

      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 🙂

      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 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.
