    a little 
    while, 

    Think I

    Pole? 

    couldn't 
    get no silver,

    we're too damn 
    poor to keep 

    you from the Gallows

    of this 
    man, 
    man. 

    Hangman,

    upon your 
    face a smile, 

    Pray tell me

    fine sister, 

    She warmed 
    my

    from 
    cold, 

    Brought my 
    blood to boiling 
    hot To keep 

    you from the Gallows 
    Pole, 

    Your 
    brother 
    brought 
    me silver, 

    Your 
    sister warmed 
    my soul, 

    But 
    now I laugh 
    and pull 
    so 
    hard And see 
    you 

    swinging 
    on the Gallows 
    Pole 

    Verse 7

    Swingin' 
    on the 
    gallows 
    pole!

    • 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.
