Her 
skin 
was 
Verse 1
the color 

Of the 
mountains' first 
winter 
snow 

His 
skin 
was 
the color 

Of the 
hot 
sun 
summer 
glow 

And they 
met 
by 
a 
river 

called 
Okemah 

In an 
August 
of another 
time 

She 
fell 
in 
love 
with this 
red 
man 

And 
left 
her 
people 
behind 

And she 
learned 
these 
things 

Verse 2
The 
ways 
of 
a 
red 
man 
are 
lonely 

And 
his 
woman 
can 
expect 
little 
more 

And 
a day 
filled 
with 
hard 
work 
and 
sorrow 

And 
so 
she 
lived 
for 

The nights, 
the 
nights 

Verse 3
And 
they 
followed 
his 
tribe 

On a 
hard 
trail 
to the 
Dakotas 
far 
away 

And 
they 
hunted 
a big 
buf
falo 

And they 
heard 
the 
old 
chief 
say 

The 
white 
man 
has 
walked 

here 
be
fore 
us 

And 
killed 
buf
falo 
for 
their 
hides 

And 
so 
this 
winter 
our 

women 
an
d children 

Will 
feel 
much 
hunger 
inside 

And 
she 
learned 
these 
things 

Verse 4
The 
ways 
of 
a red 
man 
are 
lonely 

And 
his 
wo
man 
can 
expect 
little 
more 

Than 
a day 
filled 
with 
hard 

work 
and 
sorrow 

And 
so 
she 
learns 
to live 
for 

The nights, 
the 
nights 

Verse 5

That 
winter 
they 
died 
by 

the 
hundreds 

The people 
of 
this 
red 
man's 
tribe 

She 
walked 
the 
cold 
ground 

And 
cursed 
the 
white 
man 

Who 
killed 
buffalo 
for 
their 
hides 

And they 
buried 
their 
mothers 
and 
fathers 

And 
their children 
they 
loved 
so 

They 
prayed 
the son 
God 
will 
come 
soon 

An
d melt 
the 
Dakota 
snow 

Verse 6

The 
ways 
of a 
red 
man 
are 
lonely 

And 
his 
wo
man 
can 
expect 
little 
more 

Than 
a 
day 
filled 
with 
hard 

work 
and 
sorrow 

And 
so 
she 
learns 
to live 
for 

The 
nights, 
the 
nights 

Verse 7

And 
the spring 
came 
early 
to 

the 
Dakotas 
that 
year 

And 
the buffalo 
numbered 
ten 
times 
ten 

They 
filled 
their 
stom
achs 

Made 
their 
clothes 
and started 

their 
lives 
again 

And 
she 
bore 
her 
lover 
boy 
child 

Fulfilled 
the 
promise 
of 
spring 

And 
from 
old 
comes 
new 

And 
new 
is 
life 
and 

life 
is 
an 
eternal 
thing 

And 
she 
learned 
these 
thing
s 

Verse 8
The 
ways 
of 
a red 
man 
are

    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.

    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 🙂

    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.
