    Farewell, 
    ye 
    dungeons, 

    dark 
    and 
    strong 

    Farewell, 
    farewell 
    to 
    thee 

    Macpher
    son's 
    time 
    will 
    not 
    be 
    long 

    On 
    yonder 
    gallows 
    tree 

    He 
    played 
    a 
    tune 
    and 
    danced 
    it 
    aroon 

    Below 
    the 
    gallows 
    -tree 

    T 
    'was 
    by 
    a 
    woman's 

    treach
    erous 
    hand 

    That 
    I 
    was 
    condemned 
    to 
    die 

    One 
    night 
    she 
    bade 
    me 

    come 
    to 
    her 
    side, 

    Where 
    in 
    wait 
    my 
    foes 
    did 
    lie. 

    You 
    cannot 
    take 
    my 
    fiddle, 

    though 
    you took 
    my 
    sword, 

    And 
    bound 
    these 
    hands 
    in 
    chains. 

    You 
    cannot 
    take 
    my 
    song, 

    though 
    I 
    be 
    dead 
    and 
    gone, 

    from 
    Scotland's 
    hills 
    and 
    plains. 

    Say 
    wantonly, 
    say 
    wantonly, 

    say 
    duntily 
    gay 
    thee. 

    He 
    played 
    a 
    tune 
    and 
    danced 
    it 
    aroon 

    below 
    the 
    gallows 
    tree. 

    There's 
    some 
    come 
    here 

    to 
    see 
    me 
    hanged, 

    Some 
    to 
    buy 
    my 
    fiddle, 

    But 
    before 
    I 
    part 
    with 
    the 

    only 
    friend 
    I 
    have, 

    I'll 
    break 
    o 'er through 
    the 
    middle. 

    Say 
    run 
    to 
    me, 
    say 
    one 
    to 
    me, 

    say 
    done 
    to 
    me, 
    gay 
    D. 

    He 
    played 
    a 
    tune 
    and 
    danced 
    it 
    a 
    room 

    below 
    the 
    gallows 
    tree. 

    The 
    reprieve 
    was 
    coming 

    at 
    the 
    break 
    of 
    day 

    To 
    set 
    my 
    fears 
    set 
    free 

    But 
    some 
    there 
    were 

    who 
    would 
    wait 
    no 
    more 

    And 
    they 
    hanged 
    him 
    to 
    a 
    tree 

    Say 
    run 
    to 
    me, 
    say 
    want 
    to 
    me 

    Say 
    he'd 
    done 
    till 
    he 
    gave 
    in 

    An
    d 
    he 
    played 
    no 
    more 
    as 
    he 
    had 
    before 

    He 
    was 
    hanged 
    from 
    the 
    gallows 
    tree 

    And 
    he 
    played 
    no 
    more 
    as 
    he 
    had 
    before 

    He 
    was 
    hanged.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
