  • Verse 1
    Two 
    drummers 
    sat 
    at dinner 
    in 

    grand 
    hotel 
    one 
    day 

    While 
    dining 
    they 
    were 
    chatting 
    in 

    jolly 
    sort 
    of 
    way 

    And 
    when a 
    pretty 
    waitress 
    brought 

    Them 
    tray 
    of 
    food 

    They 
    spoke 
    to 
    her 
    fa
    miliarly 
    in 

    A man
    ner 
    rather 
    rude 

    Verse 2
    At 
    first 
    she 
    did 
    not 
    notice 
    them 

    Or 
    make 
    the 
    least 
    reply 

    But 
    one 
    remark 
    was 
    passed 

    that 
    brought 

    The teardrops 
    to her eye

    And facing 
    her 
    tormentor 

    With 
    cheeks 
    now burning 
    red 

    She 
    looked a 
    perfect 
    picture 

    As 
    appealingly 
    she 
    said: 

    Verse 3
    "My 
    mother 
    was 
    lady 
    like 
    yours 

    You 
    will 
    al
    low 
    and 
    you 
    may 
    have 
    sister 

    Who 
    needs 
    protection 
    now 

    I've 
    come 
    to 
    this 
    great 
    city 

    To 
    find 
    brother 
    dear 

    And 
    you 
    wouldn't 
    dare 
    insult 
    me, 
    sir 

    If 
    Jack 
    were only 
    here" 

    It's true, 
    one touch of nature 

    It makes the whole 
    world kin 

    And 
    ev'ry word she uttered 
    seemed 

    Verse 4
    To touch 

    their hearts within 

    They sat 
    there 
    stunned and 
    silent 

    Until 
    one 
    cried 
    in shame 

    "For
    give 
    me, 
    Miss! 
    meant 
    no 
    harm 

    Pray 
    tell 
    me 
    what's 
    your 
    name?" 

    Verse 5
    She 
    told 
    him 
    and 
    he 
    cried 

    Again, 
    "I 
    know 
    your 
    brother, 
    too 

    Why, 
    we've 
    been 
    friends 

    for 
    many 
    years 

    And he 
    often 
    speaks 
    of 
    you 

    He'll 
    be 
    so 
    glad 
    to 
    see you 

    And 
    if 
    you'll 
    only 
    wed 

    I'll 
    take 
    you 
    to him 
    as 
    my 
    wife 

    For 
    love 
    you 
    since 
    you 
    said: 

    Verse 6
    "My 
    mother 
    was 
    lady 
    like 
    yours 

    You 
    will 
    al
    low 
    and 
    you 
    may 
    have 
    sister 

    Who 
    needs 
    protection 
    now 

    I've 
    come 
    to 
    this 
    great 
    city 

    To 
    find 
    a brother 
    dear 

    And 
    you 
    wouldn't 
    dare 
    insult 
    me, 
    sir 

    If 
    Jack 
    were only 
    here

    • 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.
