    • Verse 1
    Oh 
    come 
    all 
    you 

    young fellers 
    so 
    young 
    and 
    so 
    fine 

    Seek 
    not 
    your 
    fortune 
    in 

    a 
    dark 
    dreary 
    mine 

    It'll 
    form 
    as 
    a habit 
    and 
    seep 
    in 
    your 
    soul 

    Till 
    the stream 
    of 
    your blood 

    runs 
    as black 
    as 
    the 
    coal 

    Where 
    it's 
    dark 
    as 
    a 
    dungeon 
    damp 
    as the 

    dew 
    danger 
    is 
    double 
    pleasures 
    are 
    few 

    Where 
    the 
    rain 
    never 
    falls 

    the sun 
    never 
    shines 

    It's 
    a 
    dark 
    as 
    a dungeon 

    way 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    mine 

    Verse 2
    Well 
    it's 
    many 
    a man 

    that 
    I've 
    seen in 
    my 
    day 

    (uh huh 
    no 
    laughin' 
    during 
    this song 

    please it's 
    bein' 
    recorded) 

    Like 
    a 
    fiend with 
    his 
    dope 
    and 
    a 

    drunkard with 
    his 
    wine 

    A man 
    will 
    have 
    lust 
    for the 

    lure 
    of 
    the 
    mine 

    And 
    pray 
    when 
    I'm 
    dead 

    and 
    my 
    ages 
    shall 
    roll 

    That 
    my 
    body 
    would 
    blacken 

    and 
    turn 
    into 
    coal 

    Then 
    I'll 
    look 
    from 
    the door 

    of 
    my 
    heavenly 
    home 

    And 
    pity 
    the 
    miner 
    digging 

    my 
    bones 

    Where 
    it's 
    dark 
    as 
    a dungeon

      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.
