    Coughs 
    and

    Isn't 
    it 
    good 
    to 
    be 
    lost 
    in 
    the 
    wood 

    Isn't

    quiet 
    there, 
    in 
    the 
    wood 

    Meant 
    even 
    less 
    to 
    me 
    than 
    I 
    thought 

    With 
    a 
    honey 
    plough 
    of 
    yellow 
    prickly 
    seeds 

    Clover 
    honey 
    pots 
    and 
    mystic 
    shining 
    feed

    Hey 
    ho, 
    huff

    Talbot 

    Cheetah 
    he 
    cried 
    shouted 
    kangaroo 

    So 
    through 
    their 
    tree 
    they 
    cried 

    Please

    Verse 3
    The 
    madcap 
    laughed 

    at 
    the 
    man 
    on 
    the 
    border 

    Hey 
    ho, 
    huff 
    the 
    Talbot 

    The 
    winds 
    they 
    blew 
    and 
    the 
    leaves 
    did 
    wag 

    And 
    they'll 
    never 
    put 
    me 
    in 
    their 
    bag 

    The 
    seas 
    will 
    reach 
    and 
    always 
    see 

    So 
    high 
    you 
    go, 
    so 
    low 
    you 
    creep 

    The 
    winds 
    it 
    blows 
    in 
    tropical 
    heat 

    The 
    drones 
    they 
    throng 
    on 
    mossy 
    seats 

    The 
    squeaking 
    door 
    will 
    always 
    creep 

    Two 
    up, 
    two 
    down 
    we'll 
    never 
    meet 

    So 
    merrily 
    trip 
    for 
    good 
    my 
    side 

    Chorus 4
    Please 
    leave 
    us 
    here 

    Close 
    our 
    eyes 
    to 
    the 
    octopus

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
