    As 
    I went 
    out walking 
    one 

    pleasant 
    summer's 
    evening 

    Down 
    by 
    the banks 
    of 

    a clear winding 
    stream 

    In 
    a bush 
    I lay 
    as 
    two 
    lovers 
    were talking 

    And 
    clearly 
    the 
    streams, 
    they did 
    gently 
    play. 

    A 
    young sailor 
    standing 
    by, 

    he 
    appeared 
    as 
    a 
    stranger, 

    And he 
    said, 
    gentle fair 
    one, 

    I have 
    come 
    from 
    afar, 

    So 
    do 
    not be 
    offen
    ded, 

    nor 
    consider 
    it 
    a danger 

    Far 
    to walk 
    by 
    the sight 

    of 
    a 
    jolly 
    young 
    tar. 

    Well, 
    indeed, 
    then, kind sir, 

    tis the 
    truth I 
    will tell 
    you, 

    For the 
    clothes that 
    you wear, 

    they are dear 
    to 
    my heart. 

    They are 
    like 
    my young 

    Williams, 
    whom 
    I love 
    so 
    dearly, 

    Who's 
    now crossing 
    the 
    ocean 

    to 
    some 
    foreign 
    part? 

    And 
    what 
    if 
    your 

    William, 
    whom 
    you 
    love so 
    dearly, 

    Is 
    now 
    joined 
    in wedlock 

    in 
    some foreign 
    part? 

    Well, 
    if that 
    be the 
    case, 

    you 
    have lost 
    him 
    forever

    So 
    give 
    to 
    me your hand, 
    love, 
    and 

    say you'll 
    be mine 
    I 
    pray 
    you'll 
    excuse me, 

    for 
    I 
    must retire 

    And 
    in 
    this 
    green shade, 

    I will 
    bid 
    you 
    adieu. 

    Tis a 
    humble request 
    that 

    you seem 
    to 
    desire, 

    But 
    my favour, 
    sir, 
    to another 
    is 
    due. 

    Should 
    flowers 
    decay 
    in 
    the cold, 

    stormy 
    weather, 

    Yet 
    spring's 
    gentle breezes 

    they 
    will 
    then 
    renew 

    This 
    heart from 
    my true 

    love 
    no 
    other 
    will 
    sever 

    So 
    fare 
    thee 
    well, young 
    man, 

    I'll 
    bid you 
    adieu. 

    And since 
    that sad 
    fortun

    e has 
    now 
    separated 

    Right 
    constant 
    I'll prove, 

    should I 
    ne 'er 

    see him more. 

    Whilst 
    yonder 
    green 
    hills 
    are 
    with flowers 
    decorated, 

    for my 
    own 
    dearest 

    William I 
    will always 
    adore. 

    Well he 
    paused and 
    he gazed 

    with 
    his eyes 
    full of 
    pleasure 

    In 
    his 
    former 
    disguise, 

    he 
    could no 
    longer 
    hide 

    Till 
    at length 
    he explained, 

    with 
    full joy, 
    being 
    the measure 

    Is 
    this 
    my love, 

    Jane, 
    I 
    have left on 
    the tide? 

    If 
    it 
    is 

    Jane, 
    look at 
    me, 

    for you seem 
    not 
    to know 
    me. 

    When 
    out 
    of his 
    pocket 
    a 

    small bill 
    he drew, 

    Saying, 
    here's fifty 
    guineas 
    as 
    a token 
    I'll 

    give 
    you 
    since 
    you 
    in 
    my absence 
    have 
    proved 

    loyal 
    and true 
    and 
    since that 
    kind fortune 

    has 
    brought 
    us together 
    it 
    is 
    tomorrow 

    darling 
    I 
    will 
    make 
    you my 
    bride 

    An
    d 
    you 
    and 

    I, 
    true 
    love, 

    will never 
    be 
    parted 
    I 
    will 
    wed 
    with my 

    Jane 
    on 
    the bank
    s 
    of 
    the 

    Clyde

      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

      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.
