    • Verse 1

    Black 
    is 
    the 
    colour 

    of 
    my 
    true 
    love's 
    hair 

    Her 
    lips 
    are 
    like 
    some 
    roses 
    fair 

    She 
    has 
    the 
    sweetest 
    smile, 

    And 
    the 
    gentlest 
    hands 

    And 
    I 
    love 
    the 
    ground, 

    Whereon 
    she 
    stands 

    Verse 2
    I 
    love 
    my 
    love 

    and 
    well 
    she 
    knows, 

    I 
    love 
    the 
    ground 
    where
    on 
    she 
    goes, 

    I 
    wish 
    the 
    day, 
    it 
    soon 
    would 
    come, 

    When 
    she 
    and 
    I 

    could 
    be 
    as 
    one 

    Verse 3
    I 
    go 
    to 
    the 
    Clyde 

    I 
    mourn 
    and 
    weep, 

    Satis
    fied 
    I 
    never 
    can 
    be, 

    Then 
    I 
    write 
    her 
    a 
    letter, 
    just 
    a 
    few 
    short 
    lines, 

    And 
    suffer 
    death, 

    a 
    thousand 
    times 

    Verse 4
    For 
    black 
    is 
    the 
    colour 

    of 
    my 
    true 
    love's 
    hair 

    Her 
    lips 
    are 
    like 
    some 
    roses 
    fair 

    She 
    has 
    the 
    sweetest 
    smile, 

    And 
    the 
    gentlest 
    hands 

    And 
    I 
    love 
    the 
    ground, 

    Whereon 
    she 
    stands

    • 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.”
