    Verse 1
    Born 
    in England's 

    pleasant 
    green 

    Like 
    a pic
    ture 
    post
    card 
    scene 

    To 
    childhood 
    spread 

    with fond 
    maternal 
    care 

    From 
    the 
    day 
    that he 
    was 
    born 

    Proud 
    rela
    tions 
    came 
    to fawn 

    And 
    compliment 
    his 
    pretty 

    golden 
    hair 

    Verse 2
    In 
    boyhood 
    sent 
    away 

    To 
    a board
    ing 
    school 
    to stay 

    Its 
    crumbling 
    proud 
    tra

    ditions 
    forced 
    to 
    bear 

    And 
    his 
    friends 
    in 
    this new 
    world 

    Said 
    he 
    looks 
    more 
    like 
    a girl 

    With 
    those 
    blue 
    eyes 
    and pretty 

    golden 
    hair 

    Verse 3
    Fades 
    secluded 
    youth 

    Into 
    man
    hood's 
    search 

    for truth 

    His mother's 
    eyes 
    now 

    wet 
    had turned 
    to stare 

    For 
    he said 
    must 
    be bound 

    This 
    day 
    for 
    London 
    town 

    For 
    believe 
    my 
    fortune's 

    waiting 
    there 

    Verse 4
    So 
    like 
    an eager 
    cutting 
    knife 

    He plunged 
    in 
    a new 
    life 

    Oh 
    never 
    known 
    be

    forehand 
    any
    where 

    And the 
    thought 
    that he 
    might 
    trip 

    In 
    his 
    ignorance 
    and slip 

    Never 
    struck 
    beneath 
    his 

    pretty 
    golden 
    hair 

    Ah 
    Verse 5
    the 
    days 
    soon 
    grew 
    thin 

    And 
    boredom 
    fast 
    set 
    in 

    His 
    job 
    was 
    thrown 
    away 
    without 
    a care 

    For 
    a man 
    who 
    softly 
    said 

    You'll earn 
    twice 
    as much 
    instead 

    With 
    those 
    blue eyes 
    and pretty 

    golden 
    hair 

    Verse 6
    Well 
    London 
    town 
    possessed 

    Of 
    many 
    a tempter's 
    nest 

    And 
    thus 
    he fell 
    with 
    scarce 
    an
    other 
    care 

    As 
    so 
    easily 
    he 
    slipped 

    Into 
    prostitution's grip 

    Foundationed by 
    his 
    pretty 

    golden 
    hair 

    Verse 7

    Ah but the 
    years 
    quickly 
    flew 

    And 
    his mind 
    slowly 
    grew 

    From 
    early 
    freedom 
    into 
    deep 
    despair 

    As 
    the 
    money 
    ceased 
    to roll 

    A tired 
    and lonely 
    soul 

    Poured 
    curses 
    on 
    his 
    pretty 

    golden 
    hair 

    Verse 8
    Ah 
    the 
    years 
    stole 
    their 
    time 

    Now 
    the 
    liv
    ing's 
    hard 
    to 
    find 

    And 
    early 
    friends 
    have 
    vanished 

    in 
    the air

    And the 
    gay 
    parties's ease 

    Changed 
    to 
    public 
    lavatories 

    Have turned 
    to 
    grey 
    his 
    pretty 

    golden 
    hair 

    Verse 9
    Oh his 
    life 
    was 
    only 
    used 

    And his 
    body 
    just 
    ab
    used 

    By 
    those 
    who never 
    think 
    and 
    never 
    care 

    But 
    though his 
    file 
    said 
    suicide 

    No, 
    that 
    wasn't 
    why 
    he 
    died 

    It 
    was 
    murder 
    by 
    his 
    pretty 
    golden 
    hair

    • 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.
