    Verse 1
    Flow 
    gently, 
    sweet 
    Afton, 

    a
    mong 
    thy 
    green 
    braes 

    Flow 
    gently, 
    I'll 
    sing 
    thee 
    song 
    in 
    thy 
    praise 

    My 
    Mary's 
    a
    sleep 
    by 
    thy 
    murmuring 
    stream 

    Flow 
    gently, 
    sweet 
    Afton, 

    dis
    turb 
    not 
    her 
    dream 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    Thou 
    stock-dove 
    whose 
    echo 

    re
    sounds 
    through 
    the 
    glen 

    Oh, 
    ye 
    wild 
    whistling 
    blackbirds 

    in 
    yon 
    thorny 
    den 

    Thou 
    green-crested 
    lapwing, 

    thy 
    screaming 
    fore
    bear 

    Oh, 
    change 
    you 
    dis
    turb 

    not 
    my 
    slumbering 
    fair 

    Bridge 1
    Oh, 
    how 
    lofty, 
    sweet 
    Afton, 

    thy 
    neighbouring 
    hills 

    Far 
    marked 
    with 
    the 
    courses 

    of 
    clear 
    winding 
    rills 

    There 
    daily 
    wander 

    as 
    noon 
    rises 
    high 

    Oh, 
    my 
    flocks 
    and 
    my 
    Mary's 

    sweet 
    cot 
    in 
    my 
    eye 

    Interlude 2






    Verse 3
    How 
    pleasant 
    thy 
    banks 

    and 
    green 
    valleys 
    be
    low 

    Where 
    wild 
    in 
    the 
    woodlands 

    the 
    primroses 
    blow 

    There 
    oft 
    as 
    mild 
    evening 

    sweeps 
    over 
    the 
    lea 

    The 
    sweet 
    scented 
    birch 
    shades 

    my 
    Mary 
    and 
    me 

    Bridge 2
    Oh, 
    thy 
    crystal 
    stream, 
    Afton, 

    how 
    lovely 
    it 
    glides 

    And 
    winds 
    by 
    her 
    cot 

    where 
    my 
    Mary 
    re
    sides 

    How 
    wanton 
    thy 
    waters 

    her 
    snowy 
    feet 
    lave 

    As 
    gathering 
    sweet 
    flowerets 

    she 
    stems 
    thy 
    clear 
    wave 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 4
    Flow 
    gently, 
    sweet 
    Afton, 

    a
    mong 
    thy 
    green 
    braes 

    Flow 
    gently, 

    sweet 
    river, 
    the 
    theme 
    of 
    my 
    lays 

    My 
    Mary's 
    a
    sleep 
    by 
    thy 
    murmuring 
    stream 

    So 
    flow 
    gently, 
    sweet 
    Afton, 

    dis
    turb 
    not 
    her

    • 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.
