D
Now,
G
my dears, a toast.
Gm
D
Be prepared.
To ourselves, the closely united family,
and to the dear strangers
who have joined us,
I allude to you, Jane Darling, and Edward,
and my dear Charles.
Does that mean that
we three may not drink?
C
Certainly not.
Em
Drink to yourselves, to each other,
D
an d to the happiness
of us all. Good.
Oh, do be quiet, Charles.
Where was I?
Where was I?
Where was I?
To the happiness of us all, my love.
Thank you, Jane.
Here's a toast to each of us
and all of us together.
Here's a toast to happiness
Em
and reasonable pride.
A
D
May our touch on life
be lighter than a seabird's
feather.
B
Em
May all sorrows as we pass...
A
D
politely step aside.
A commonplace sentiment,
my dear Jasper.
Em
Were there neither of you nor of
A
the moment?
D
Moments fly so swiftly, my love.
Em
I thought what Jasper said was beautiful.
A
Hush, Emily.
B
Jane's chiding merely means
D
that she would have liked
Em
to have thought of it herself.
G
D
Get on with the toast, Jasper.
Where was I?
Where was I?
Where was I?
E
Gasping in the deeps
A
of your own imagination, my
D
love. Thank you.
Now I drink to those of us who happily united,
ornament our family
A
and share our joy and pain.
Charles, my friend,
D
an d Edward, too, connubially plighted.
B
Em
Last, my dears, but always best.
A
D
My own beloved Jane.
Charmingly put, my dear Jasper.
If a trifle pedantic.
Em
I do my best, my love.
D
But my best is obviously unworthy.
Oh, do stop sparring, you two.
Sparring?
What a vulgar expression.
F#
Where was I?
Where was I?
C#
In command, my love.
F#
As ordered.
C#
F#
C#
Harriet married a soldier,
F#
C#
a man of pleasant birth,
F#
C#
A man of noble worth
F#
C#
and finely tempered steel.
F#
C#
Ready to die for the empire,
F#
C#
the son must never set
F#
C#
F#
F
Upon this brave but yet ambiguous ideal.
Bbm
Aaug
C#
So now, dear Charles, I am saluting you,
Bbm
That never -setting son
F#
shall call you blessed.
F
Bbm
Aaug
Bbm
If far -off natives take to shoot ing you,
C#
C
You will at least have done
Fm
your level best.
Harry had married a soldier,
May life be bright for him,
May night be right for him,
Forever and for e 'er.
F
Harry had married a soldier,
C
And in the matrimony
Db
Harry had married a soldier,
C
Ab
Despite his stories in the field
Bb
Bbm
He'll have to honour and obey,
C#
And be defeated till
Eb

judgment day.
Db
Oh, but how unfair of you all.
I'm as meek as a mouse.
Ab
D
Db
Charles rules me with a rod of iron.
Cb
Oh, dear Harriet,
we salute your strategy
Cbm
E
that makes him believe it.
A
Now we come to Emily,
whose progress has been steady.
G
C
Only married two short years
D
G
and three fat sons already.
You make me blush,
C#
Jasper.
We count the twins as one.
Nevertheless, my love,
they are normal babies,
with a mouth each to feed.
F#
C#
Emily married a doctor,
F#
C#
a sentimental man,
F#
C#
F#
C#
A mild and gentle man of scientific mind,
F#
C#
Doing his best for the nation,
F#
C#
forever dutiful,
F#
C#
F#
C#
A really beautiful example to the rest of us,
F#
C#
A challenge to the best of us,
F#
C#
F#
the noblest and the best of us combined.
C#
I accept your tribute, Jasper,
F#
C#
while doubting its complete sincerity.
F#
But the surface value
C#
is warming enough.
F#
C#
F#
I thank you, Jasper. Ed ward.
It played another tune.
I remember distinctly it played another
G
tune.
You mustn't ask too much of it.
It was a waltz.
D
Yes, yes, of course it was
a waltz.
Don't you remember?
We danced to it years later
at a ball before we were married.
D
A
It was this. It was this.
D
Heart and flowers, dreamy hours,
under skies of blue.
Two hearts so sweetly beat in tune,
A
Neath the midnight magic of the moon.
D
Petals falling, lovebirds softly calling,
Em
B
life begins anew.

I remember An nie
D
singing that tune
Bbaug
when she was doing the stairs.
Em
I remember Nanny singing
it
A
when she was bathing Emily.
B
I remember Father humming
it between his teeth
when he was whacking me with a
G
slipper.
An excellent example
D
Gm
of two hearts beating to the tun e.
D
A cruel joke, Charles.
E
Back to the barracuda.

A
We found it inspiring enough,
did we not, my love?

Olympion, the loveliest sun

Hearts and flowers bygone hours

You rang, Mr. Jasper?
Yes, Burroughs.
Would you like a little Madeira?
I should be honored, Mr. Jasper.
Here.
At your service, always.
Thank you.
Have I your permission
for a moment?
Certainly, Burroughs.
What is it?
The musical box.
There should be a little tune.
A little tune from the years that are dead.
Allow me.
D
A
I drink to you all, and to you, and ma 'am.
D
This house was happy
when there were children in it.
A
Let the angels guide you,

be good and brave and true.
Let the angels guide you,

oh, do, oh, do, oh, do.
Study smart and patient,

We always said you were just in case!

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.”
