    Verse 1
    Oh, 
    the 

    path 
    was 
    deep 
    and 
    wide 

    From 
    footsteps 
    leading 
    to 
    our 
    cab
    in 

    Above 
    the 
    door 
    there 

    burned 
    a 
    scarlet 
    lamp 

    And 
    late 
    at 
    night 
    a 
    hand 
    would 
    knock 

    And 
    there 
    would 
    stand 
    a stranger

    Yes, 
    I'm 
    the son 
    of 
    Hickory

    much 
    too 
    young

    To 
    understand 
    the 
    things 
    they 
    said 

    All 
    we 
    really 
    cared 
    about 

    Was

    chicken 
    dumplings 

    And

    went 
    to 
    bed

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
