    Verse 1
    'was 
    early, 
    early 
    fall 
    in the 
    spring 

    And 
    the green buds 
    all 
    were swelling 

    Sweet 
    William 
    on 
    his 
    desp 'ate 
    lay 

    For 
    the love 
    of Barbary 
    Ellen 

    And 
    he sent his 
    servant 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    town 

    To 
    the place where 
    she 
    was dwelling 

    Saying 
    you must 
    come 
    to my 
    master 
    deal 

    With 
    your name, 
    with your body 

    and 
    so 
    slowly, 
    slowly 
    then 
    she got 
    up 

    Slowly 
    she come 
    nigh 
    him, 

    and 
    the only 
    words 
    to 
    him did 
    say 

    Young 
    man 
    I see 
    you're 
    dying, 

    oh 
    yes I'm 
    sick 
    and I'm 
    very 
    sick 

    Death 
    is 
    in me 
    dwelling 

    But 
    I shall 
    very 
    soon 
    better 
    be 

    Now 
    I've got 
    Bob 
    Riham 

    Oh, 
    you 
    are 
    sick 
    and 
    very sick 

    Death 
    is 
    in you dwelling, 

    and 
    you shall 
    never 
    better 
    be 

    For 
    you'll never get 
    Barbarian 

    Don't 
    you remember 
    down 

    in 
    the Undertown 

    She 
    was in the 
    tavern drinkin' 

    Oh, you raised 
    a toast 
    to 
    the girls 
    all round 

    And 
    you slighted 
    Barbie 
    Allen 

    Yes, 
    I remember 
    down 
    in yonder 
    town 

    She 
    was in the 
    tavern drinkin' 

    gave 
    a toast 
    to 
    the ladies 
    all 

    And 
    my heart 
    to Bobbie 
    Allen 

    And 
    he turned 
    his pale 
    face 
    to 
    the 
    wall 

    Death 
    is in 
    him welling 

    Farewell, 
    farewell 
    to 
    my 
    friends 
    all 

    Be 
    kind to 
    Barbara 

    Oh, 
    had 
    not gone 
    but 
    half 
    way home 

    She 
    heard 
    them death bells 
    a -nellin' 

    And 
    every 
    note seemed 
    to say 

    Hot 
    -hearted 
    Barbarian 

    And 
    as she 
    come down 

    through 
    yonder town 

    She 
    saw his 
    coffin come 
    in 

    Lay 
    down, 
    lay down 
    his 
    clay -cold 
    corpse 

    Then 
    may look 
    upon 
    him 

    And 
    the more she 
    looked, 

    oh, 
    the more 
    she wept 

    She 
    busted 
    out a -crying, 

    saying 

    I could 
    have saved 
    his 
    sweet little life 

    And 
    it's all for the want 
    of 
    trying 

    Oh, 
    mother, 
    oh, 
    mother, 

    go and make 
    my bed 

    Go 
    and make 
    it long 
    and narrow 

    Sweet 
    William 
    died for 
    me today 

    I'll 
    die 
    for him 
    tomorrow 

    And 
    they buried 
    sweet 
    William 

    in 
    the old 
    churchyard 

    And 
    Bobbery 
    Allen and 
    the choir 

    From 
    sweet William's 
    heart 

    they 
    grew 
    a rose 

    From 
    Bobbery 
    Allen's 
    grew a green 
    lion 

    And 
    they 
    grew and 
    they grew 

    in 
    the old 
    churchyard 

    Till 
    they could grow 
    no higher 

    And 
    then they 
    twined 
    in 
    a true lover's 
    knot 

    The 
    red rose 
    and 
    green 
    cryin' 

    You

    • 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.
