    Verse 1
    Speed 
    bonnie 

    boat 
    like 
    a 
    bird 
    on 
    the wing 

    Onward 
    the 
    sailors 
    cry 

    Carry 
    the lad 
    that's 
    born 
    to

    Skye 

    Verse 2

    Loud 
    the winds 
    howl 
    loud 
    the 

    waves 
    roar 

    Thunderclaps 
    rend 
    the 
    air 

    Baffled 
    our 
    foes 
    stand 
    on 
    the shore 

    Follow 
    they 
    will 
    not 
    dare

    on 
    that

    Well 
    the clay
    more 
    could 
    wield 

    When 
    the night 
    came 
    si
    lently 
    lay 

    Dead 
    on 
    Cul
    loden's

    Billow 
    and 
    breeze 
    islands 
    and 
    seas 

    Mountains 
    of 
    rain 
    and 
    sun

    All 
    that 
    was 
    good 
    all 
    that 
    was 
    fair 

    All 
    that 
    was 
    ours 
    is 
    gone

    Onward 
    the 
    sailors 
    cry 

    Carry 
    the 
    lad 
    that's 
    born 
    to 
    be 
    king 

    Over 
    the

    to 
    Skye 


    Verse 8
    Burned 
    are 
    our 
    homes 
    exile 
    and

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
