    • Verse 1
    The 

    night 
    was 
    mighty 
    dark 

    and 
    you 
    could 
    hardly 
    see 

    Cause 
    the 
    moon 
    refused 
    to 
    shine 

    And 
    there's 
    a 
    couple 
    sittin' 

    near 
    the 
    willow 
    tree 

    Oh, 
    for 
    long, 
    how 
    they 
    hanged. 

    The 
    little 
    maid, 

    she 
    was 
    kind 
    of 
    afraid 
    of 
    the 
    dark. 

    So 
    she 
    said, 
    I 
    think 
    I'll 
    go. 

    The 
    boy 
    began 
    to 
    sigh, 

    looked 
    up 
    at 
    the 
    sky, 

    And 
    told 
    the 
    moon 
    his 
    little 
    tale 
    of 
    woe, 

    woe 

    Shine, 
    shine 
    on 
    home 
    sweet 

    Up 
    in 
    the sky 

    I 
    ain't 
    had 
    me 
    no 
    lovin' 
    since 
    Janu
    ary, 

    February, 
    June 
    and 
    July 

    It's 
    a 
    slow 
    time, 
    ain't 
    no 
    time 

    to 
    stay 
    outdoors 
    and 
    snooze 

    So 
    shine 
    on, 
    shine 
    on 
    all 
    this 
    moon 

    for 
    me 
    and 
    my 
    gal 

    But 
    you 
    know things 
    didn't 
    work 
    out 

    for the 
    boy 
    and his 
    sweetheart 

    She 
    left him 
    for 
    somebody 
    else 

    And 
    the boy 
    went to 
    the big 
    city 

    Started 
    drowning 
    his 

    troubles 
    in 
    the whiskey 

    Oh 
    Lord, 
    and 
    the big 
    city 
    went 
    mad 
    St. 
    Louis, 

    mama 

    Where's 
    all 
    your 
    diamond 
    ring
    s? 

    Oh, 
    you drags 
    men 
    around 

    just 
    like 
    they 
    was 
    on 
    the 
    street 

    Well, 
    if 
    it 
    weren't 
    for 
    paint 
    and 
    powder 

    an
    d 
    all 
    that 
    store 
    -bought 
    hell 

    Good 
    Lord, 
    these 
    St. 
    Louis women, 

    they 
    would 
    not 
    be 
    no 
    wham, 

    wham, 
    wham, 

    I 
    got 
    the 
    St. 
    Louie 
    blues, 

    I'm 
    just 
    as 
    blue 
    as 
    I 
    can 
    be 

    Yeah, 
    that 
    wo
    man's 
    got 
    a 
    heart 

    like 
    a 
    rock 
    cast 
    into 
    the 
    sea 

    Oh, 
    why 
    did 
    my 
    sweetheart 
    go 

    so 
    far 
    away 
    from 
    me? 

    I 
    can't 
    see 
    why 
    a 
    boy 
    should 
    sigh 

    when 
    by 
    his 
    side 
    is 
    the 
    girl 
    he 
    loves 
    so 
    true. 

    All 
    he 
    has 
    to 
    say 
    is, 

    won't you 
    be 
    my 
    bride? 

    For now 
    his 
    sweetheart 
    loves 
    him 
    too. 

    Why 
    should 
    I 
    be tellin' 
    you 
    the 
    secret 

    When 
    I'm 
    sure 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    guess? 

    The 
    harvest 
    moon 
    will 
    smile, 

    shine 
    on 
    all 
    the 
    while 

    The 
    sweetheart 
    yes, 

    she 
    answers 
    yes, 
    yes 

    Shin
    ing 
    on, 
    shining 
    on 

    all 
    those 
    moon
    s up 
    in the 
    sky. 

    I 
    ain't 
    had 
    me 
    no 
    lovin' 
    since 
    Janu
    ary, 

    February, 
    January. 

    But 
    it's 
    no 
    good 
    time, 
    ain't 
    no 
    time 

    to 
    stay 
    outdoors 
    at 
    this 
    point 

    So 
    shine 
    on, 
    shine 
    on, 

    shine 
    on 
    harvest 
    moon 

    for 
    me 
    and 
    my 
    gal 
    you

      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.
