    • Verse 1
    When 
    I was 
    a little kid, 

    not very 
    old, 

    me and 
    Susie at 
    the top of 
    the road, 


    we used to 
    run 
    in the 
    garden 
    free, 

    play
    ing 
    games 
    around the big 
    tree. 

    One 
    afternoon, 
    whilst we 
    played, 

    we was 
    led to 
    the big tree 
    shade, 

    and 
    I showed 
    her, 
    she 

    She showed 
    me lot
    s of 
    fun 

    behind 
    the big 
    tree. 

    Big 
    tree, 
    what do you 
    know? 

    Why do 
    you spread your 

    branches 
    low? 

    Well, the 
    big 
    tree was 
    her 
    friend, 

    and the 
    big tree 
    knew how 
    it would 
    end. 

    Soft 
    grass on 
    a leafy 
    bend, 

    we touched 
    tongues and 

    giggled 
    instead. 

    I showed 
    her, 
    she showed 
    me, 

    but 
    we got 
    caught behind 
    the big 
    tree. 

    It 
    was 
    a neighbor 
    who complained, 

    she told us 
    both 
    to be ashamed. 

    I got 
    cuffed, 
    Susie 
    cried, 

    but we 
    couldn't 

    have done nothing 
    if we 
    tried. 

    Big 
    tree, 
    why do you 
    sigh? 

    Big tree, 
    raise your 
    branches 
    high. 

    The 
    big 
    tree knows 
    her birth 

    an
    d I've 
    seen him 
    tremble 
    in the 
    wind 

    Ain't 
    it a crime 
    or is it 
    a sin 

    The bard from 
    the garden 
    couldn't get 
    in 

    Me 
    and 
    Susie got 
    nothing to 
    hide 

    But 
    I guess we'll 
    make it 
    in the world 
    outside

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
