    • Verse 1
    On the 
    banks 
    of 
    the roses, 

    my love 
    and I sat 
    down 

    And I took 
    out 
    my violin 

    to 
    play my 
    love 
    a tune 

    In 
    the middle 
    of 
    the tune, 

    O she 
    sighed 
    and she 
    said 

    O Johnny, 
    lovely 
    Johnny, 

    Would 
    you leave 
    me 

    O when 
    I was a young man, 

    I heard my father 
    say 

    That 
    he'd 
    rather 
    see me 
    dead 

    and buried 
    in the 
    clay 

    Sooner than be 
    married 
    to 
    any 
    runaway 

    By 
    the lovely 
    sweet 
    banks 

    of 
    the 
    roses 


    O then 
    I am 
    no 
    runaway 

    and soon 
    I'll let 
    them know 

    I 
    can take 
    a good glass 
    or leave 
    it 
    alone 

    And 
    the man 
    that doesn't 
    like me, 

    he can 
    keep 

    his daughter 
    home 

    And young 
    Johnny 
    will 

    go roving 
    with 
    another 

    And 
    if ever 
    I 
    get married, 

    twill 
    be in the 
    month 
    of May 

    When 
    the leaves 
    they are 

    green 
    and 
    the meadows 

    they 
    are gay 

    And 
    I and my 
    true 
    love can 

    sit and 
    sport 
    and play 

    Outro 1
    On 
    the lovely 
    sweet 
    banks 
    of 
    the roses

    • 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

      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

      Lynae T

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