    • Verse 1
    I'd 
    love 
    to rise 
    on a 

    summer morn' 

    When the birds 
    sing 
    on 

    every tree 

    The distant 
    huntsman 
    whines 
    his 
    horn 

    And 
    the skylark 
    sings 
    with me 

    Oh, 
    what 
    sweet company 

    But 
    to go 
    to 
    school in 
    the summer 
    morn 

    Oh, 
    it drives 
    all 
    joy 
    away 

    Under 
    a 
    cruel eye 
    outworn 

    The 
    little ones 
    spend the day 

    In 
    sighing 
    and dis
    may 

    Ah, 
    then at times 
    I drooping 
    sit, 

    And spend 
    many 
    an anxious 
    hour, 

    Nor 
    in my 
    books can 
    I take delight, 

    Nor sit 
    in learn
    ing's 
    bower
    , 

    How 
    can 
    the bird 
    that is 
    born for 
    joy 

    Sit 
    in 
    a cage 
    and sing? 

    How 
    can a 
    child when 
    fear's 
    annoying 

    But 
    droop 
    his 
    tender 
    wing 

    an
    d 
    for
    get his 
    youthful 
    spring? 

    O father 
    and mother, 
    it buds 
    a nip 

    And 
    blossoms blown 
    away 

    And 
    if the 
    tender 
    plant
    s 

    are stripped 
    of their joy 

    In 
    the springing 
    day 

    By 
    sorrow 
    and 
    cares 
    dismayed. 

    How shall 
    the 
    summer arise 
    in 
    joy, 

    Or the 
    summer fruits 
    appear? 

    For how 
    shall we 
    gather 
    what griefs 
    destroy, 

    Or 
    bless the 
    mellowing 
    year 

    When 
    the blasts 
    of 
    winter ap
    pear? 

    How 
    shall the 
    summer arise 
    in joy 

    Or 
    the summer 
    fruits appear? 

    Or 
    how 
    shall 
    we gather 

    what grief
    s destroy, 

    Or 
    bless 
    the 
    mellowing 
    air

    When 
    the blasts 
    of 
    win
    ter 
    appear? 
    now. 

    Ooh. 

    Ooh. 

    Ooh. 

    In 
    the 
    of 

    the Father, Holy 
    Amen.

      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.
