    Verse 1
    As 
    walked 
    by 
    the 
    lake 
    one 

    day 
    by 
    chance 
    my 
    Dorraine passed 
    my 
    way 

    Then 
    she 
    and 
    walked 
    hand 
    in hand 

    on 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    Ponchartrain 

    pinned 
    flower 
    on 
    her 
    heart, 

    swore 
    we'd 
    never 
    be 
    apart 

    She 
    vowed 
    her 
    love 
    forever 
    and 
    as 

    I kissed 
    her 
    did 
    the same 

    Verse 2

    Dorraine, 
    my Dorraine, my 

    dark 
    haired 
    little 
    angel 

    My 
    belle 
    of 
    Ponchartrain 

    Verse 3
    We 
    sat 
    down 
    on 
    the dock 
    and 
    with 

    our 
    hearts 
    and 
    fingers 
    locked 

    We 
    laughed 
    and 
    talked 
    and 
    joked 
    about 

    when 
    our 
    names 
    are 
    the same 

    And 
    joking 
    said 
    honey 
    are you 

    marrying 
    me 
    for 
    money 

    And 
    it took 
    just 
    one 
    quick 
    look 
    to tell 

    it 
    hurt 
    my 
    dear 
    Dorraine 

    Verse 4
    She 
    jumped 
    and 
    stood 
    above 
    me 
    and 

    she 
    cried 
    why 
    you 
    don't 
    love 
    me 

    I'm 
    rowing 
    home 
    across 
    the 
    lake 

    you 
    won't 
    see 
    me 
    again 

    I called 
    and 
    called 
    some 
    more 
    but 

    she 
    rowed 
    fast 
    from 
    the 
    shore 

    And 
    the 
    clouds 
    brought 
    by 
    wind 
    began 

    to 
    rain 
    on 
    Pon
    chartrain 

    Verse 5

    Dorraine, I 
    called 
    Dorraine 

    Come 
    back 
    my 
    little 
    angel 
    my 

    belle 
    of 
    Ponchartrain 

    Verse 6
    The storm 
    should 
    make 
    her 
    learn 

    that she 
    should 
    make 
    a swift 
    return 

    But 
    as 
    the rain 
    fell 
    harder 

    I lost 
    sight 
    of 
    my 
    Dorraine 

    As 
    panic 
    gripped 
    my 
    heart 
    drew 

    the 
    oars 
    and 
    made 
    my 
    start 

    To 
    look 
    for 
    her 
    on 
    raging 
    waters 

    and 
    the 
    rain 
    on 
    Ponchartrain 

    Verse 7
    At 
    darkness 
    still 
    called 
    but 
    no 

    one 
    heard 
    my 
    cries 
    at all 

    And 
    when 
    the 
    day
    break 
    came 
    then 
    others 

    helped 
    me 
    look 
    for 
    my 
    Dorraine 

    But there 
    was 
    not 
    thing 
    afloat 

    except 
    the 
    oars 
    from 
    her 
    rowboat 

    For 
    all 
    was 
    lost 
    upon 
    the 
    choppy 
    waves 

    an
    rain 
    on 
    Pon
    chartrain 

    Verse 8

    Now 
    come 
    day 
    after 
    day 
    to 
    where 

    my 
    sweetheart 
    rowed 
    away 

    And 
    I gaze 
    across 
    the 
    water 

    of 
    the rainy 
    Ponchartrain 

    Just 
    one 
    thing 
    and 
    nothing 
    more 

    ever 
    floated 
    back 
    to 
    shore 

    Was 
    this 
    flower 
    hold 
    it 
    is 
    the 
    one 
    pinned 
    on 

    my 
    Dorraine 

    Verse 9

    Dorraine, my Dorraine, my 

    dark 
    haired 
    little 
    angel 

    My 
    belle 
    of 
    Ponchartrain

    • 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.
