    his

    crop 
    of hay 
    is 
    cut 
    and dried 

    I'll 
    bail 
    it 
    up 
    and 
    bring

    And 
    then 
    there 
    is 
    another 
    chore 

    Today 
    the 
    baby 
    will 
    be

    'Twere 
    better 
    if

    I'd 
    rather 
    let 
    the 
    harvest 
    go, 

    And

    to 
    the hospital

    Nay,

    will 
    wait 
    'til the 
    work 
    is 
    through 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    The 
    shepherd 
    rode 
    the 
    yellow 
    rows,

    clouds 
    above 
    and 
    the field 
    be

    sweat 
    was 
    wet 
    upon 
    her 
    brow, 

    Her 
    breath 
    it 
    cameth labouredly 

    And 
    then 
    the rain 
    was 
    coming 
    down, 

    Upon 
    the 
    field 
    of yel
    low 
    hay 

    Verse 7
    Said 
    the 
    shepherd, 
    it's 
    no 
    use, 

    The rain 
    will 
    surely 
    win 
    the race 

    'Twere 
    better 
    if 
    we 
    let 
    it fall, 

    And 
    hurry 
    to 
    the 
    hospital 

    Go,

    and 
    work 
    with haste, 

    And 
    bring 
    the bails 
    into 
    the barn 

    Else 
    the crop 
    will 
    go 
    to waste, 

    And the babe 
    will 
    wait 
    'til 
    the work 
    is 
    done

    and 
    from 
    the yellow 
    barn 

    'Til 
    half 
    the bails 
    were safely 
    in, 

    Then 
    went 
    to find 
    his 
    wife 
    again 

    How 
    Verse 10
    many 
    times 
    her name 
    he 
    called, 

    And 
    no 
    reply
    ing 
    would 
    she 
    make 

    Her 
    breath 
    it 
    cameth
    not 
    at all, 

    She 
    would

    rise 
    from 
    where she 
    lay

    the sun 
    come 
    out

    The

    wife 
    saw 
    ne'er 
    again, 

    He 
    buried 
    her

    ground, 

    He 
    brought 
    the flock 
    to feed 
    there
    on 

    He 
    held 
    the

    and the 
    plow,

    • 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.
