Holiday, holiday,

I'm the first one of the year

Lord Arnold's wife came
C

into the church,
D

the gospel brought her here

And when the meeting it was done,

she cast her eyes about
C

And there she spied young Matty Groves,

a -walking in the crowd
D

Said, come home with me,

little Matty Groves,

come home with me tonight

Come home with me, young Matty Groves,
G
D
C

and sleep with me tonight
D
A
D

Well, I can't come home

and I won't come home

I'm sleeping with you tonight

For by the nails on your fingers
C
D

I can tell You are me master's wife
A
D

And what if I am Lord Arnold's wife?

He is not at home
C

He is out in the far country

He's bringing a yearling's
D
C
G

home
D

D

God turned to a standing boy,

hearing what was said.

Swallowed on all he would know,

before the sun did set.

And in his hurry to carry his news,

he bent his breast and he ran.

And when he came to the straw mill stream,
C
D
C
D

he took off his shoes and he swam.

Little Matty Groves,

he lay down

and he took a little sleep

And when he awoke,
Dm

Lord Alan was standing by his feet
D

Saying, how do you like my feather bed?

How do you like my sheets?

And how do you like my lady wife,

who lies in your arms asleep?

Oh well, I like your feather bed

better than I like your sheets

And best I like your lady waifu

lying in me arms asleep

Get up, get up, get up, Lord Arnold,

try and get up as quick as you can

But it'll never be sat in despair

and I slew a naked man

Well, I can't get up and I won't get up,

I won't get up for my life
G

For you have too long beaten swords
D

and I ain't not a fucking knight

It's true, I have two beating swords,


they thrust me deep in the past

But you will have the better of them,
C
D

and I will keep the worst

And you will strike me the

very first blow,

you'll strike it like a man
C

I will strike the very next blow,
G
D
C
G
C

and I'll kill you if I can
D

So Matty struck the bed

he burst below and he hurt

Lord Arnold's sore

Lord Arnold struck the bed
C

he next below
D

and Matty struck the floor

And then he took his own dear wife,

sat her up on his knee

And said, who do you like the best of us?
C
G

Now you're dead, Matty Groves, or me?
A
D

And then I spoke in her own dear way,

never heard her speak so free

I'd rather the kiss from
C

dead Mattie's lips

than you and I, yeah, finally
D
A

And that Lord Arnold, he jumped up
D

and loudly did he fall
A
Dm
D
Em

He stuck his wife right through the heart
D

and he pinned her up to the wall

A brave, a brave

Lord Arnold

might put these lovers in

But won't you marry my lady at the top?
C
D

For she was a no -go

  • 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.
