    • Verse 1
    In every 
    war, 

    soldiers 
    go off to battle, 

    and songs 
    express how the 
    women at home 

    live 
    in dread and 
    hope. 

    Here 
    I 
    sit 
    on Buttermilk 
    Hill. 

    Who could 
    blame 
    me? 

    Crime 
    I feel. 

    And 
    every 
    tear would 
    turn 
    a mill. 

    Johnny 
    has 
    gone for 
    a 
    sol
    dier, 

    surely, 
    surely, 
    surely, 
    too, 
    surely, 

    Sakuraga, 
    bibbidi -bobbidi 
    -boo. 

    If 
    I 
    should 
    die 
    for 
    Sally Bubbly, 

    come, 
    bibbidi -bob
    bidi -boo, 

    sorrow 
    wrong. 

    I'd 
    sell 
    my clock, 
    I'd 
    sell my 
    reel, 

    Like
    wise, 
    I'd 
    sell 
    my spinning 
    wheel, 

    To 
    buy, 
    my love, 
    a sword 
    of 
    steel. 

    Johnny 
    has 
    gone 
    for a 
    sol
    dier, 

    surely, 
    surely, surely, 
    too. 

    Surely, 
    Sakuraka, 
    bibbidi 
    -bobbidi -boo. 

    If 
    I should 
    die 
    for Sally 
    Bubbly, 

    come, 
    bibbidi -bobbidi 
    -boo, 
    Sarora.

    • 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.”
