Verse 1
A
Through streams and bogs and under bush
E
I made my weary way
Though windfalls thick and devil's floods
A
my aching feet did stray
Until at last by evening start
E
on higher ground I gained
And there I met with a Creole girl
A
by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

Verse 2
A
Good evening to you Creole girl
E
my money is no good
Although I fear the gators,
A
well I must defend the wood
You are welcome here kind stranger,
E
my house is very plain
But we never turn a stranger out
A
by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

Verse 3
A
She took me to her mommy's house
E
and she treated me right well
The hair around her shoulders
A
in them jet black ringlets fell
I'd try to describe her beauty
E
but I find the words in vain
So beautiful that Creole girl

Verse 4
A
Well I asked if she'd marry me,
E
she said that could not be
Because she loved a sailor
A
and he's far away at sea
She said that she would marry him
E
and true she would remain
Even through he never did comeback

So farewell you Creole girl,
E
I'll ne'er see you no more
I'll ne'er forget your kindness
A
in the cottage by the shore
And at each social gathering
E
a flowing glass I'd drain
And I drink a health to the Creole girl
A
by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

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
