    How 
    have 
    you 
    been, 
    my 
    darling 
    children 

    While 
    I 
    have 
    been 
    away 
    in 
    the 

    West? 

    Though 
    you 
    are 
    strangers 

    I 
    feel 
    like 
    I know 
    you 

    By 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    you 
    treat 
    me 
    and 
    offered 
    to 
    feed 

    me 
    and 
    eagerly 
    ask 
    if 
    I'll 
    stay 
    for 
    a 
    rest 

    Now 
    sit 
    yourselves 
    down 

    in 
    a 
    pile 
    here 
    before 
    me 

    I 
    wish 
    I 
    had 
    present
    s for 

    each 
    of 
    your 
    smiles 

    But 
    I 
    have 
    been 
    trav
    eling 

    without 
    much 
    to 
    carry 

    Just 
    a 
    broken 
    guitar 
    case 

    with 
    tape 
    on 
    the 
    side 

    A 
    bag 
    and 
    a few 
    signs 
    to 

    help 
    me 
    get 
    right 

    But 
    here 
    are 
    some 
    beads 
    from 

    the 
    throat 
    of 
    a 
    princess 

    Who 
    reigned 
    in 
    the 
    years 
    round 
    200 

    B 
    .C. 

    Divide 
    them 
    and 
    wear 
    them 
    and 

    make 
    sure 
    to 
    share 
    them 

    Cause 
    I 
    want 
    you 
    to 
    have 
    them 
    in 
    hopes 
    that 
    you'll 

    be 
    as 
    lovely 
    as 
    the 
    lady 
    who 
    gave 
    them 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    here 
    is 
    a 
    strange 

    European 
    gui
    tar 
    string 
    I 
    found 

    on 
    the 
    floor 
    of 
    a 
    club 
    in 

    Mar
    seille 

    It's 
    fat 
    for 
    the 
    third 
    string 
    and 

    skinny 
    for 
    the 
    fourth 
    string 

    But 
    I 
    kept 
    it 
    in 
    hopes 
    that 

    I'd 
    use 
    it 
    someday 

    It's 
    funny 
    how 
    people 
    just 

    keep 
    things 
    that 
    way 

    And 
    here 
    is 
    a 
    turtle 
    from 
    the 

    Long 

    Island 

    Express
    way 

    He 
    says 
    that 
    his 
    home 
    has 

    been 
    covered 
    with 
    tar 

    So 
    I 
    gave 
    him 
    a 
    ride 
    on 
    the 

    back 
    of 
    my 
    suitcase 

    And 
    he 
    says 
    that 
    he'd 
    like 

    to 
    stay 
    here 
    in 
    your 
    yard 

    At 
    long 
    last 
    his 
    life 
    won't 

    be 
    quite 
    so 
    hard 

    How 
    have 
    you 
    been, 
    my 
    darling 
    children 

    While 
    I 
    have 
    been 
    away 
    in 
    the 
    west 

    Though 
    you 
    are 
    strangers, 

    I 
    feel 
    like 
    I 
    know 
    you 

    By 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    you 
    treat 
    me 

    and 
    offer 
    to 
    feed 
    me 

    And 
    eagerly 
    ask 
    if 
    I'll 
    stay 
    for 
    rest 

    By 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    you 
    treat 
    me 

    and 
    offer 
    to 
    feed 
    me 

    And 
    eagerly 
    ask 
    if 
    I'll 
    stay 
    for 
    rest

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      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.
