    who was in Calcutta in 92,
    G
    D
    G

    emerged from his retirement for the war.

    He wasn't very pleased
    Bbdim
    D

    with all he heard and all he saw,
    G

    but whatever he felt,
    Abdim

    he tightened his belt and
    Am
    D

    organized a corps.
    G
    D

    Poor Colonel Montmorency thought,

    G

    the Home Guard was his

    job to do or die
    D
    G
    Em

    But after days and weeks and years,
    D
    G

    bravely drying his manly tears,
    D
    Ebdim

    he wrote the following letter
    D
    A

    to the Minister of Supply

    A ma jor house has an ark with us

    tired of drawing lots.

    Today we had a shipment

    of some curious equipment,
    A

    in case the enemy tried to land,

    D

    to drive them back with skill
    G

    and armoured force.
    C#dim

    He realised his army
    Bbdim
    D

    should be mechanised,

    course,
    G

    but somewhere inside,
    E

    experience cried,
    D

    my kingdom for a horse.
    G
    D

    Poor Colonel Montmorency tried,
    G
    D

    at infinite cost of time and pride,

    • 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.
