John Riley chords by 
Peggy Seeger
N/A•
Verse 1
C
As I walked out one morning
early
To take the sweet and pleasant air
Who should I spy but a fair young lady
Her cheeks being like a lily fair
Verse 2
C
I stepped up to her, right boldly asking
Would she be a sailor's wife?
"Oh no, kind sir, I'd rather tarry
And remain single for all my life"
Verse 3
C
"Tell me, kind Miss and what
makes you differ
From the rest of womankind?"
"I see you're fair, you are young,
you're handsome
F
C
And for to marry might
be inclined"
Verse 4
C
"The truth, kind Sir,
I will plainly tell you
I might have married three years ago
To one John Riley who left this country
He is the cause of all my woe"
Verse 5
C
"Come along with me, don't you
think on Riley
Come along with me to some distant shore
We will set sail for Pennsylvania
Adieu, sweet England, forevermore"
Verse 6
C
I"'ll not go with you to Pennsylvania
I'll not go with you
to that distant shore
My heart's with Riley,
I will ne'er forget him
Verse 7
Although I may never see him no more"
C
And when he seen she truly loved him
He give her kisses, one two and three
Says, "I am Riley, your own true lover
That's been the cause of
your misery"
Verse 8
C
"If you be he and your name is Riley
I'll go with you to that distant shore
We will set sail to Pennsylvania
Adieu, kind friends, forevermore"

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

“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
