    As 
    I 
    was a 
    -walkin' 
    all 
    along 

    Radcliffe 

    Highway 

    The 
    recruiting 
    party 
    come 

    a 
    -beatin' 
    their 
    drum 

    I 
    was listed 
    and 
    attested 
    and 

    be
    fore I 
    did 
    know 

    It's 
    to 
    the 

    King's 
    duty 
    I 
    was 
    forced 
    to 
    go 

    Well 
    I 
    quickly 
    escaped 
    and 

    I 
    thought 
    myself 
    free 

    Till 
    my 
    cruel 
    com
    panions 

    they 
    in
    formed 
    against 
    me 

    I 
    was 
    quickly 
    followed 
    after 
    and 

    brought 
    back 
    with 
    speed. 

    In 
    chains 
    I 
    was hung, 
    heavy 
    irons 
    on 
    me. 

    Court 
    martial, 
    court 
    martial, 
    they 
    held 
    again
    st 
    me, 

    and the 
    sentence 
    they 
    gave 
    me 
    was three 
    hundred 
    and 
    three. 

    May 
    the 

    Lord 
    have 
    mercy 
    on 
    their 
    souls 
    for 
    their 
    sad 
    cruelty, 

    for 
    now 
    the 

    King's 
    duty 
    lies 
    heavy 
    on 
    me. 

    So 
    again 
    I 
    escaped 
    and 
    I 
    thought 
    myself 
    free, 

    but 
    my 
    cruel 
    sweet 
    touch 
    in
    formed 
    against 
    me. 

    I was 
    quickly 
    fol
    lowed 
    after 
    an

    d 
    brought 
    back 
    with 
    speed. 

    In 
    chains 
    I was 
    hung, 
    heavy 
    irons 
    on 
    me. 

    Court 
    -martial, 
    court 
    -martial, 
    I 
    very 
    soon 
    got, 

    and they 
    quickly 
    passed 
    sentence 
    that 
    I 
    should 
    be 
    shot. 

    May 
    the 

    Lord 
    have 
    mercy 
    on 
    their 
    souls 
    for 
    their 
    sad 
    cruelty, 

    for 
    now 
    the 

    King's 
    duty 
    lies 
    heavy 
    on 
    me. 

    So if 
    ever 
    you're 
    a -walkin' 
    on 
    a long 
    rat 
    -cliff 
    highway, 

    the recruiting 
    party 
    come 
    a 
    -beating 
    their 
    drum. 

    Don't 
    be listed 
    or 
    attested 
    in
    to 
    the 

    King's 
    army, 
    or 
    else 
    the 

    King's 
    duty 
    will 
    lie 
    heavy 
    on 
    thee.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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.
