    Hug 
    me 
    closer, 
    closer, 
    mother 

    Put 
    your 
    arms 
    around 
    me 
    tight 

    For 
    I'm 
    cold 
    and 
    tired, 
    dear 
    mother 

    And 
    feel 
    so 
    strong 
    tonight 

    Something 
    hurts 
    me 
    here, 
    mother, 

    like 
    stone 
    upon 
    my 
    breast. 

    Oh, 
    wonder, 
    wonder, 
    mother, 

    why 
    it 
    is 
    cannot 
    rest. 

    Just 
    before 
    the 
    lamps 
    were 
    lighted, 

    just 
    before 
    the 
    children 
    came, 

    while 
    the 
    room 
    was 
    very 
    quietly, 

    heard 
    someone 
    call 
    my 
    name, 

    call 
    at 
    once 
    to 
    window 
    open 

    On 
    field 
    of 
    lambs 
    and 
    sheep 

    Some 
    far 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    brook 
    were 
    drinkin' 

    Some 
    were 
    lyin' 
    fast 
    asleep

    In 
    moment 
    was 
    lookin' 

    On 
    world 
    so 
    bright 
    and 
    fine 

    Which 
    was 
    filled 
    with 
    little 
    children, 

    and 
    they 
    seemed 
    so 
    happy 
    there. 

    They 
    were 
    singing 
    oh 
    so 
    sweetly, 

    sweetest 
    songs 
    I'd 
    ever 
    heard. 

    They 
    were 
    singing, 
    sweeter 
    mother, 

    than 
    our 
    darling 
    little 
    bird. 

    Come 
    up 
    here, 
    my 
    little 
    fessy, 

    come 
    up 
    here 
    and 
    live 
    with 
    me. 

    Where 
    little 
    children 
    never 
    suffered 

    Suffered 
    through 
    eternity 

    Then 
    thought 
    of 
    all 
    you 
    told 
    me 

    Of 
    that 
    bright 
    and 
    happy 
    land 

    was 
    gone 
    when 
    you 
    called 
    me, 

    When 
    you 
    came 
    and 
    kissed 
    my 
    hand, 

    And 
    the 
    mother 
    pressed 
    her 
    closer 

    To 
    her 
    own 
    dear 
    burdened 
    friend. 

    On 
    the 
    heart 
    so 
    near 
    it's 
    breakin' 

    Lay 
    the 
    heart 
    so 
    near 
    it's 
    rest 

    At 
    the 
    solemn 
    hour 
    of 
    midnight 

    In 
    the 
    darkness 
    calm 
    and 
    deep 

    Lying 
    on 
    her 
    mother's 
    bosom, 

    Little 
    Bessie 
    fell 
    asleep.

    • 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.
