    Now 
    all 
    you boys 
    and girls, 

    I want you to 
    listen to this 
    song. 

    When I was 
    about your 
    size, 

    there's an old 
    fella 

    who 
    used to sing 
    this song to 
    me. 

    And 
    he 
    told 
    me 
    that 
    it was 
    sure 
    the truth. 

    And 
    used to 
    say, 

    I don't 
    believe 
    it is 
    now, 
    is 
    it? 

    And he'd 
    say, 
    oh yeah, 
    definitely. 

    want 
    you to listen 
    to these 
    words 

    and 
    see 
    if 
    you don't think 

    he was 
    kidding 
    me just 
    a little 
    bit. 

    Mr. 
    Darby 
    lived 
    down 
    on the 
    creek 

    and 
    when 
    he 
    told 
    tale 

    Every 
    manor 
    in 
    the creek 

    got 
    bigger 
    than 
    Jonah's 
    whale 

    We 
    used 
    to sit 
    with 
    open 
    mouths 

    and 
    listen 
    to 
    his 
    yarns 

    About 
    the things 
    when 
    he 
    was young 

    before 
    us 
    boys 
    was 
    born 

    Now 
    wasn't 
    he 
    a -biggin' 
    girls, 

    wasn't 
    he 
    -biggin' 
    boys 

    Now 
    wasn't 
    he 
    a -beggin' 
    boys 

    before 
    they 
    cut 
    him 
    down? 

    Now 
    here's 
    the part 

    about that 
    awful 
    big 
    sheep 

    My 
    granddad 
    had 
    big 
    old 
    sheep 

    still 
    can 
    hear 
    him 
    say 

    One 
    of the 
    finest 
    rams, 
    yes 
    sir, 

    that ever 
    was 
    fed 
    on 
    hay 

    He 
    had 
    four 
    legs 
    to 
    walk 
    with 

    and 
    he 
    had 
    four 
    feet 
    to stand 

    And 
    every 
    foot 
    that 
    he 
    had 

    would 
    cover 
    an 
    acre 
    of 
    land 

    Wasn't 
    he 
    a -biggin', 
    boys? 

    Wasn't 
    he 
    a -biggin', 
    girls? 

    Now, 
    wasn't 
    he 
    a -biggin', 
    boys, 

    be
    fore 
    they 
    cut 
    him 
    down? 


    Well, 
    the wool 
    that 
    growed 

    upon 
    his 
    back 

    reached 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    And 
    when 
    they 
    cut 
    it off 
    in 
    the 
    spring 

    it would 
    weigh 
    10 
    ,000 
    pounds 

    And 
    the wool 
    that growed 

    up 
    on 
    his neck 

    reached 
    up 
    to 
    the sky 

    An
    the 
    hawks 
    would 

    build 
    their 
    nest 
    in 
    it 

    cause 
    they heard 
    the 
    little 
    ones 
    cry 

    Now 
    wasn't 
    he 
    a biggun, 
    boys? 

    Now 
    wasn't 
    he 
    a biggun, 
    boys? 

    don't 
    quite 
    believe 
    that 
    myself, 

    do you now? 

    Oh, 
    before 
    they 
    cut 
    him down 

    Now 
    the 
    butcher 
    man 
    that cut 
    his 
    throat 

    was 
    drowned 
    in 
    the 
    blood 

    And 
    the 
    little 
    boy 
    that 
    held 
    the pan 

    Was 
    washed 
    away 
    in 
    the flood 

    Ah, 
    wasn't 
    he 
    a -beggin' 
    boys 

    Wasn't 
    he a 
    -beggin' 
    girls 

    Was
    n't 
    he 
    a -beggin' 
    boys 

    Before 
    they 
    cut him 
    down

    • 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.
