    Where

    Hun, 
    when'll 
    you be back, 

    my 
    good 
    old 
    man? 

    When 
    will you be 
    back, 

    my 
    honey, 
    my 
    lamb? 

    Saturday. 

    What 
    do you want for your 
    supper, 

    my good 
    old 
    man? 

    What 
    do you want for your 
    supper, 

    my honey, 
    my lamb? 

    Eggs. 

    How 
    many of them do 
    you want, 

    my 
    good 
    old man? 

    How 
    many empty 
    walls, 
    my honey, 
    my 
    lamb? 

    A 
    bushel. 

    Why, 
    a bushel will kill 
    you, my 
    good 
    old man. 

    A 
    bushel will kill 
    you, 
    my 
    honey, 

    my lamb. 

    I don't mind. 

    Well where do 
    you want to be buried, 

    my 
    good 
    old man? 

    Where 
    do you want to be 
    buried, 

    my honey, 
    my 
    lamb? 

    In the chimney 
    corner,

    good 
    old man. 

    The

    Well, what'll 
    you do then, 

    my good 
    old man? 

    What'll 
    you do then, 
    my 
    honey, 
    my 
    lamb?

    I hate, 

    my good 
    old man, 
    I hate, 
    can't hate, I hate, 

    my honey, 
    my 
    lamb.

      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

      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.
