    Verse 1
    I 
    am 
    a 
    brisk 
    lad 
    and 
    my 
    fortune 
    is 
    bad 

    An
    d if 
    e 
    'er I 
    get 
    rich, 

    it's 
    a wonder

    I 
    spent 
    all 
    my 
    money 
    on 

    girls 
    and strong 
    beer 

    What 
    riches 
    I 
    had 
    are all 
    plundered 

    Field 
    after 
    field 
    off 
    to market 
    I 
    sent 

    Till 
    the 
    land 
    was 
    all 
    gone 

    and 
    the 
    money 
    was 

    spent 

    My 
    heart 
    was 
    the 
    heart 

    that 
    I 
    never 
    did 
    repent 

    An
    d 
    that's 
    what 
    put 
    me 
    in

    to limbo 

    Oh, 
    once 
    I 
    could 
    run 
    while 
    the 
    others 
    did lie 

    Strut 
    like 
    a 
    crow 
    in 
    a 
    gut
    ter 

    The 
    people 
    all 
    said 
    they saw 
    me 
    passing 
    by 

    There 
    goes 

    Mr. 

    Forbid
    den, a 
    float
    er 

    To 
    the 
    top 
    and 
    top 
    gallant 

    I 
    hoisted 
    my 
    sails 

    With 
    a 
    flimsy 
    cravat 
    an

    d a 
    wig with 
    three 
    tails 

    Oh, 
    now 
    I 
    am 
    ready 
    to 

    gnaw 
    my 
    own 
    nails 

    And 
    drink 
    the 
    cold 
    water 

    of 
    limbo 

    Oh, 
    I 
    had 
    an 
    uncle 
    who 
    lived 
    in 
    the 

    West 

    An
    d 
    he 
    heard 
    of 
    my 
    sad 
    dis
    aster

    But 
    still 
    after 
    that 
    he 
    could 
    never 
    take 
    rest 

    Oh, 
    his sorrows 
    came 
    faster 

    an
    d 
    faster

    He 
    came 
    to 
    the 
    jail 
    to 

    see 
    my 
    sad 
    case

    And 
    as 
    soon 
    as 
    I 
    saw 
    him, 

    I 
    knew his 
    odd 
    face 

    An
    d 
    I stood 
    gazing 
    at 

    him 
    like 
    one 
    in 
    dis
    grace 

    An
    d 
    I wished 
    myself 
    safe 

    out 
    of 
    limbo 

    Jack, 
    if 
    I 
    should 
    set 
    you once 

    more 
    on 
    your leg
    s 

    An
    d put 
    you 
    in 
    credit 
    an
    d 
    fashion 

    Oh, 
    will 
    you 
    lay 
    off 

    all 
    those 
    rakish 
    old 
    ways 

    An
    d 
    try 
    for 
    to 
    govern 
    your 
    person? 

    Un
    cle 
    says 

    I, 
    if 
    you will 
    set 
    me 
    free, 

    I 
    surely 
    will 
    al
    ways 
    be 
    ruled 
    by 
    thee 

    And 
    I'll 
    labour 
    my 
    bones 
    for 
    the 
    good of 
    my 
    soul, 

    see 
    myself 
    miles 
    out 
    of 
    limbo 

    Then 
    out 
    of 
    his 
    purse 
    he 

    pulled 
    3 
    ,000 
    pounds 

    He 
    counted 
    it 
    up 
    in 
    bright 
    guineas 

    And 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    free 
    of 
    those 
    prison 
    es
    capes 

    Oh, 
    I went 
    to 
    see 

    Peggy 
    an
    d 

    Jeannie 

    In 
    my old 
    ragged 
    clothes 
    they 

    knew 
    not 
    of my 
    gold 

    And 
    they all 
    turned 
    me out 

    in the 
    wet 
    an
    d the 
    cold 

    Yet 
    I 
    laughed 
    for 
    to 
    hear 
    how 

    the 
    sau
    cers 
    did 
    scold 

    The 
    night 
    they 
    let 
    me 
    out 
    of 
    limbo

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
