    • Verse 1
    Now once 
    I was 
    a 
    school
    girl, 

    all with 
    my 
    pencil 
    an
    d slate 

    Can't 
    you see what 
    I've come 
    to 

    from 
    staying 
    out 
    late? 

    And it's 
    once I 
    had a 
    colour 

    that 
    is 
    as red 
    as 
    any 
    rose 

    But 
    now 
    I'm 
    as pale 
    as 

    the 
    lily 
    that 
    grows 

    And 
    it's green 
    grows 
    the laurel 

    And 
    so cold 
    now 
    blows 
    the dew 

    And 
    how sorry 
    was 
    I 

    when I 
    par
    ted from 
    you 

    Just 
    like the 
    rose 
    in 
    the garden 

    When 
    her bloom 
    is 
    all 
    gone 

    Can't 
    you see 
    what 
    I've come 
    to 

    For 
    lov
    ing 
    that 
    man? 

    Now 
    my par
    ents 
    dis
    liked 
    me, 

    they've 
    turned 
    me away 
    from 
    their 
    door. 

    So 
    I told 
    them 
    that I'd 

    ramble like 
    I used 
    to before, 

    and 
    I picked 
    up 
    my baby, 

    and 
    I've walked 
    out 
    the door. 

    And 
    I 
    told 
    him that 
    I'd ramble 

    like 
    I used 
    to be
    fore 

    And 
    it's green 
    grows 
    the laurel 

    and 
    so cold 
    now 
    glows the dew 

    And 
    how 
    sorry 
    was 
    I 

    when 
    I par
    ted from 
    you 

    Just 
    like 
    the rose 
    in 
    the 
    garden 

    when 
    her bloom 
    is all 
    gone 

    Can't 
    you 
    see what 
    I've 
    come to 

    for 
    loving 
    that 
    man? 

    So 
    it's me 
    an
    d my 
    baby 

    and 
    contented 
    we 
    will 
    be 

    And 
    I'll try 
    to 
    for
    get him 

    like he 
    forgot 
    me 

    And 
    while 
    there's love 
    on the 
    ocean 

    And 
    there's 
    love on 
    dry 
    land 

    While 
    there's 
    breath into 
    my body 

    I 
    will still 
    love that 
    man 

    And 
    it's green 
    grows 
    the laurel, 

    And 
    sickle 
    now blows 
    the 
    dew. 

    And how 
    sorry 
    was 
    I 

    when 
    I 
    parted 
    from 
    you, 

    Just like 
    the rose 
    in 
    the garden, 

    When 
    her bloom 
    is all 
    gone, 

    Can't 
    you see what 
    I've 
    come to 

    For loving 
    that 
    man?

      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.
