    Verse 1
    On 
    the 
    first 
    day 
    of 
    March, 

    it 
    was raining 

    It 
    was 
    raining 
    worse 
    than 
    any

    thing 
    that 
    have 
    ever 
    seen 

    drank 
    ten 
    pints 
    of 
    beer 
    and 

    I cursed 
    all 
    the people 
    there 

    And I 
    wish 
    that 
    all 
    this 
    raining 
    would 

    stop 
    falling 
    down 
    on 
    me 

    Verse 2
    And 
    it's 
    lend 
    me ten 
    pounds, 

    I'll 
    buy 
    you 
    a drink 

    And 
    mother, 
    wake 
    me 
    early 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    Verse 3
    At 
    the 
    time, 
    was 
    working 
    for 
    a landlord 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    the meanest 
    bastard 

    that 
    you 
    have 
    ever 
    seen 

    And to 
    lose 
    a single 
    penny 
    would 

    grieve 
    him 
    awful 
    sore 

    And 
    he was 
    miserable 
    bollocks and 

    bitch's 
    bastard's 
    whore 

    Verse 4
    And 
    it's 
    lend 
    me ten 
    pounds, 

    I'll 
    buy 
    you 
    a drink 

    And 
    mother, 

    wake 
    me 
    early 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    Verse 5
    I recall 
    we 
    took 
    care of 
    him 
    one 
    Sunday 

    We 
    got 
    him out 
    the 
    back 
    and 

    we 
    broke 
    his 
    fucking 
    balls 

    And 
    maybe 
    that 
    was 
    dreaming 

    and 
    maybe 
    that 
    was 
    real 

    But 
    all 
    know 
    is I 
    left 
    that 
    place 

    without 
    a penny 
    or 
    fuck 
    all 

    Verse 6
    And 
    it's 
    lend 
    me ten 
    pounds, 

    I'll 
    buy 
    you 
    a drink 

    And 
    mother, 
    wake 
    me 
    early 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    Verse 7
    But 
    now 
    I've the most 

    charming 
    of 
    verandahs 

    I sit 
    and watch 
    the 
    junkies, 
    the 
    drunks, 

    the 
    pimps, 
    the 
    whores 

    Five 
    green 
    bottles 
    sit
    ting 
    on 
    the 
    floor 

    wish 
    to 
    Christ, 

    wish 
    to Christ 
    that I 
    had 
    fifteen 
    more 

    Verse 8
    And 
    it's 
    lend 
    me ten 
    pounds, 

    I'll 
    buy 
    you 
    drink 

    And 
    mother, 
    wake 
    me 
    early 

    in 
    the 
    morning

    • 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.
