    • Verse 1
    As 
    I 

    was 
    a 
    -walking, 

    I 
    passed 
    by 
    a 
    win
    dow, 

    And 
    I 
    saw 
    an 
    old 
    woman, 

    the 
    picture 
    of 
    gloom. 

    And 
    this 
    is 
    the 
    song 

    the 
    old 
    lady 
    was 
    hum
    ming, 

    As 
    backwards 
    and 
    forwards 

    she 
    wielded 
    her 
    broom. 

    Oh, 
    life 
    is 
    a 
    toil 
    and 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    trouble 

    Beau
    ty 
    will 
    fade 
    and 
    riches 
    will 
    flee 

    Pleas
    ures 
    they 
    dwindle 

    and 
    prices 
    they 
    double 

    And 
    nothing 
    is 
    what 
    we 

    could 
    wish 
    it 
    to 
    be 

    There's 
    too 
    much 
    of 
    sewing 

    goes 
    into 
    a 
    bonnet 

    There's 
    too 
    much 
    of 
    ironing 

    goes 
    into 
    a 
    shirt 

    There's 
    nothing 
    that's 
    worth 

    all 
    the 
    time 
    you 
    waste 
    on 
    it 

    And 
    noth
    ing 
    that'll 
    last 
    us 

    but 
    trouble 
    and 
    dirt 

    So 
    life 
    is 
    a 
    toil 
    and 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    trouble 

    Beau
    ty 
    will 
    fade 
    and 
    riches 
    will 
    flee 

    Pleas
    ures 
    they 
    dwindle 

    and 
    prices 
    they 
    double 

    And 
    noth
    ing 
    is 
    what 
    we 

    could 
    wish 
    it 
    to 
    be 

    Pull 
    weeds 
    all 
    the 
    summer, 

    break 
    leaves 
    in 
    Septem
    ber 

    The 
    midsummer 
    breezes 

    are 
    loaded 
    with 
    dust 

    It's 
    snow 
    all 
    the 
    winter, 

    and 
    in 
    rainy 
    Novem
    ber 

    The 
    wallpaper 
    rots 
    and 

    the 
    candlesticks 
    rust 

    So 
    life 
    is 
    a 
    toil 
    and 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    trouble 

    Beau
    ty 
    will 
    fade 
    and 
    riches 
    will 
    flee 

    Pleas
    ures 
    they 
    dwindle 

    and 
    prices 
    they 
    double 

    And 
    noth
    ing 
    is 
    what 
    we 
    could 

    wish 
    it 
    to 
    be 

    The 
    old 
    woman 
    grew 
    tired 
    of 

    sweepin' 
    and 
    scrub
    bin' 

    She 
    laid 
    down 
    and 
    died, 

    and I 
    thought, 
    was 
    it 
    just 

    That 
    she 
    who 
    so 
    long 

    had 
    wielded 
    the 
    duster

    Should 
    her
    self 
    in 
    the 
    end 

    be 
    turned 
    into 
    dust 

    So 
    life 
    is 
    a 
    toil 
    and 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    trouble 

    Beau
    ty 
    will 
    fade 
    and 
    riches 
    will 
    flee 

    Pleas
    ures 
    they 
    dwindle 

    and 
    prices 
    they 
    double 

    And 
    nothing 
    is 
    what 
    we 
    could 
    wish 
    it 
    to 
    be

      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

      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 🙂

      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 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.
