    One, 
    two, three, 
    four 


    It's almost 
    over, 
    it's 
    al
    most 
    done 

    And 
    you 
    can't 
    put the 
    blame 
    on 
    anyone 

    It's almost 
    easy 
    and 
    it's 
    almost 
    fun 

    Did 
    you get 
    caught 
    with 
    your 

    britches 
    on? 

    Verse 2
    Hi, 
    derry 
    day in 
    the 
    month 
    of May 

    Was 
    the 
    song 
    the minstrel 
    sang 

    To 
    the good 
    of 
    Robin 
    Hood 

    Maid 
    Marion 
    and 
    all 
    the 
    gang 

    Verse 3

    His 
    aim 
    was 
    mean 
    and 
    his 
    shot 
    was 
    clean 

    And 
    his 
    suit 
    was 
    the shade 
    of 
    evergreen 

    The 
    folks 
    he knew, 

    hadn't 
    naught 
    to fear 

    When the 
    sheriff 
    was there, 

    they were 
    over 
    here 

    Hi, 
    derry 
    doon 
    in the 
    Verse 4
    month 
    of 
    June 

    Was 
    the 
    song 
    the minstrel 
    sung 

    To 
    the good of 
    Robin 
    Hood's 

    Good 
    name 
    and 
    a place 
    to 
    run


    Verse 5

    He 
    loved 
    strong 
    ale 
    and 
    run 
    down 
    jail 

    Was 
    the 
    kind 
    of 
    a scene 

    where 
    he 
    never 
    failed 

    There 
    was no 
    man 
    on the 

    sea 
    or 
    land 

    Who could 
    get Maid 
    Marion 

    on the 
    trail 

    Verse 6
    Hi, 
    derry 
    day in 
    the 
    month 
    of May 

    Was 
    the 
    song 
    the minstrel 
    sang 

    To 
    the good 
    of 
    Robin 
    Hood 

    Maid 
    Marion 
    and 
    all

    It's 
    almost 
    over, 
    it's 
    al
    most 
    done 

    And 
    you 
    can't 
    put the 
    blame 
    on Marion 

    She 
    almost 
    made 
    it to the 
    friar's 
    gate 

    But the 
    old 
    wooden 
    bridge 

    wouldn't 
    elevate 

    Verse 8
    Hi, 
    derry 
    doon 
    in the 

    month 
    of June 

    Was the 
    song 
    the minstrel

    • 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.
