Verse 1
Am
G
Hark, hark, the drums do beat,
Em

my love, and I must haste away.
The bugle's sweetly sound,
G
and no longer can I stay.
Em

We are called up to Portsmouth,
G
and it's many a weary mile,
Em
Am
G
Em
All for to be embarked for the
Am
banks o 'er the Nile.
G
Oh, Willie, dearest Willie,
Em
Am
don't leave me here to mourn.
Don't leave me here to curse the
G
day that ever I was born.
Em
Am
For partin' with me, Willie,
G
Em
is like partin' with me life
Am
G
Oh, stay at home, dear Willie,
Em
Am
and make me a lawful wife
G
I'll put on me velveteens
Am
Em
Am
and go along with you
I'll volunteer me services
and go to Egypt too
G
Em
Am
I'll fight beneath your banner,
G
love, and fortune it may smile
Em
Am
G
And I'll be your loyal comrade
Em
Am
G

on the banks of the Nile
G
Oh, Nancy, dearest Nancy,
Em

Oh, that would never do.
The government has ordered

No women there to go.

the king he doth command,

And I am bound on oath, my love,
G

to serve on a foreign land.

C
Your waist is rather slender,
Am
G
Am
your com plexion is too fine,
Your constitution is too weak
G
to stand a hot campaign.
Em

The sultry sons of Egypt,
Em
your precious health would spoil
Am
G
Em
And the sandy desert places
G
Em
Am
on the banks o 'er the Nile
G
O cursed, cursed be the day
Em
G
Am
that e 'er the wars began
For they've ta 'en out of Scotland
G
many a bonny man
Am
They've ta 'en free as
our lifeguards,
G
protectors o 'er Isle
Am
G
And their bodies feed the worms
Em
Am
on the banks o 'er the Nile

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

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