  • Verse 1
    remember 
    a long 

    time ago when 
    I was young, 

    they 
    used 
    to be 
    great bands 

    of tinkers 

    or gypsies 
    would come through 
    our 
    place 

    and 
    it always 
    seemed to me 

    the most romantic 
    possible 

    kind of a 
    life. 

    You know the 
    caravans, 

    or the caravans 

    with the horses 
    heads painted 
    on the side, 


    and the old characters 
    leaning 
    over the 

    half door of it 
    with the pipe, 

    and a 
    clatter of dogs 

    running along 
    under 
    the wagons. 

    Fifteen or 
    twenty piebald 
    ponies 
    behind, 

    you know. 

    A friend of ours 
    wro
    te a 
    song about 
    it, 

    the 
    passing 
    of the romantic 
    age 

    of 
    the travelling 
    people. 

    It's 
    called 
    I'm a Freeborn 
    Man 

    of 
    the Travelling 
    People. 

    I'm 
    freeborn 
    man 

    of 
    the 
    travelling 
    people. 

    Got 
    no 
    fixed 
    abode 

    with 
    the nomads 
    have wondered. 

    Country 
    lanes 
    and 
    byways 

    were 
    always 
    my 
    ways. 

    I nev
    er 
    fan
    cied 
    being 
    num
    ber. 

    Oh, 
    we knew 
    the 
    woods 

    and 
    the 
    resting 
    places 

    And 
    the 
    small 
    birds 
    sang 

    when 
    winter 
    days 
    were 
    over 

    Then 
    we'd 
    pack our 
    load 

    and 
    be 
    on 
    the 
    road 

    Those 
    were 
    good old 
    days 
    for 
    rover 

    There 
    was 
    open 
    ground 

    where 
    man 
    could 
    linger

    For 
    week 
    or 
    two 
    per time 

    was 
    not 
    our 
    master 

    Then 
    away 
    you 
    jog, 

    row in 
    your 
    horse 
    and 
    dog 

    And 
    nice 
    and 
    easy, 

    no 
    need 
    to go 
    fast
    ing 

    Now 
    I've 
    known 
    life 
    hard 

    and 
    I've 
    known 
    it 
    easy 

    And 
    I've 
    cursed 
    the life 

    when 
    winter 
    days 
    were 
    darning 

    But 
    I've 
    laughed 
    and 
    sung 

    through 
    the 
    whole 
    night 
    long 

    Seen 
    the 
    summer 
    sun 
    rise 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    All 
    you 
    free 
    -born 
    men, 

    all 
    the 
    traveling 
    people 

    Every 
    tinker, 

    rolling 
    stone 
    and 
    gypsy 
    rover 

    Wind
    of 
    change 
    are 
    blowing, 

    old 
    ways 
    are 
    going, 

    your 
    trav
    eling 
    days 
    will soon 
    be 
    over.

    • 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.
