    Verse 1
    Farewell, 

    Ye 

    Dungeons 

    Farewell, 
    dark 
    and 
    strong 

    Farewell, 
    farewell 
    to 
    ye. 

    Macpherson's 
    life 
    will 
    no 
    be 
    long, 

    On 
    yonder 
    gallows 
    tree. 

    Say 
    rant
    antly, 
    say 
    want
    antly, 

    And 
    say 
    dauntingly, 
    gay 
    thee. 

    He 
    played 
    tune, 
    and 
    he 
    danced 
    around 

    Below 
    the 
    gallows 
    tree. 

    There 
    some 
    come 
    here 

    far 
    to 
    see 
    me 
    hun

    And 
    some 
    to 
    buy 
    my 
    fiddle 

    But 
    be
    fore 
    that 
    do 
    part 
    with 
    her 

    I'll 
    break 
    her 
    through 
    the 
    mill 

    He 
    took 
    his 
    fiddle 
    in 
    both 
    of his 
    hands, 

    And he 
    broke 
    it 
    'er 
    stone. 

    Sin 
    there's 
    no 
    other 
    hand 

    shall 
    play 
    on 
    thee, 

    When 
    am 
    dead 
    and 
    gone. 

    Say 
    rant
    antly, 
    say 
    fon
    tanely, 

    And 
    say 
    dauntingly 
    gay 
    thee, 

    He 
    played 
    tune, 
    and 
    he 
    danced 
    around 

    Below 
    the 
    gallows 
    tree. 

    The 
    re
    prieve 
    was 
    coming, 

    'er the 
    brig 
    of 

    Banff 

    They 
    set 

    Macpherson 
    free 

    But 
    they put 
    the 
    clock 
    quarter 
    before 

    And 
    they 
    hanged 
    him 

    from 
    tree 

    He 
    played 
    tune, 

    and 
    he 
    danced 
    around 

    Below 
    the 
    gallows 
    tree.

    • 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.
