    this 
    must 
    be 

    Who 
    told 
    the lie 
    con
    cerning 
    me 

    For 
    I 
    was 
    never 
    a very 
    good 
    seaman, 

    Nor 
    ever 
    do 
    in
    tend 
    to 

    be" 

    Verse 5

    "Last 
    night 
    I 
    saw 
    the 

    new 
    moon 
    clear 

    With the 
    new 
    moon 
    in 
    her hair 

    An
    d 
    that 
    is 
    a 
    sign 
    since 
    we 
    were born 

    That 
    means 
    there'll 
    be 
    a 
    deadly 
    storm" 

    Verse 6
    They had 
    not sailed 
    upon 

    the deep 
    a 
    day, 

    A day 
    but 
    barely 
    free 

    When 
    loud 
    and 
    boisterous 
    blew 
    the winds 

    And 
    loud 
    and 
    noisy 
    blew 
    the sea

    A comb

    all 
    in her 
    hand 

    "Here's 
    to you 
    my 
    merry 
    young 
    men 
    for 

    you'll not 
    see 
    dry

    The

    fathoms deep 

    There 
    lies 
    good 
    Sir Patrick 
    Spens 

    With the 
    Scots 
    lords 
    at 
    his 
    feet

      "

      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.
