    In 
    a 
    dark, 

    dark 
    land 
    so 
    weird 
    and 
    stern 

    The 
    old 
    king 
    held 
    his 
    throne 

    His 
    pillows 
    were 
    twined 
    by 
    the 
    lady 
    fern 

    And 
    reared 
    on 
    the 
    gran
    ite 
    stone 

    And 
    the 
    fossil 
    shells 
    around 
    him 
    lay 

    From 
    the 
    an
    cient 
    ocean's 
    roll 

    So 
    dark 
    and 
    grim 
    from 
    the 
    vast 
    sea 
    spray 

    Was 
    born 
    our 
    old 
    King 
    Cole 

    Then 
    here's 
    to 
    King 
    Cole, 

    that 
    merry 
    old 
    soul 

    We'll 
    give 
    it 
    with 
    three 
    times 
    three 

    His 
    eye 
    is 
    bright, 
    may 
    its 
    merry 
    light 

    Wink 
    always 
    sly 
    at 
    me 

    Now 
    old 
    King 
    Cole 
    has 
    left 
    his 
    land 

    A 
    -conquering 
    far 
    and 
    near 

    The 
    steamship 
    is 
    his 
    battle 
    horse 

    The 
    railway 
    train 
    his 
    car 

    The 
    bell 
    which 
    swings 
    in 
    the 
    steeple 
    high, 

    The 
    sword 
    by 
    the 
    soldier's 
    side, 

    The 
    needles 
    which 
    beau

    ties' 
    fingers 
    ply, 

    And 
    the 
    crown 
    of 
    the 
    mon
    arch's 
    pride, 

    Were 
    shaped 
    by 
    the 
    aid 

    of 
    old 
    King 
    Cole, 

    What 
    a 
    merry 
    old 
    soul 
    is 
    he! 

    His 
    eye 
    is 
    bright, 
    makes 
    merry 
    light 

    Wink 
    always, 
    sly 
    as 
    me 

    But 
    most 
    I 
    love 
    the 
    old 
    King 
    Cole 

    For 
    he 
    is 
    a 
    friend 
    to 
    me 

    He 
    sits 
    between 
    me 
    and 
    my 
    wife 

    When 
    we 
    sit 
    down 
    to 
    tea 

    And 
    he 
    leers 
    on 
    us 
    both 

    with 
    a 
    roguish 
    eye 

    And 
    he 
    laughs 
    like 
    a 
    dear 
    old 
    soul 

    And 
    embraces 
    both 
    right 
    royally 

    This 
    neighbourly 
    old 
    King 
    Cole 

    Then 
    he 
    hears 
    to 
    King 
    Cole, 

    that 
    merry 
    old 
    soul 

    Will 
    give 
    it 
    with 
    three 
    times 
    three 

    His 
    eye 
    is 
    bright, 
    may 
    its 
    merry 
    light 

    Wink 
    always 
    sly 
    at 
    me

      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 🙂

      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.
