    fiddle 
    young 
    Willie 

    Will you 
    put down 
    your 
    fiddle 

    and 
    pray 
    (right now) 

    That 
    the world

    in 
    the mid
    st 
    an

    no

    to 
    desist 

    The 
    gentrified stock 

    who 
    had seen 
    off 
    the 

    And 
    laughed 
    at 
    the lad 
    seeing 
    all 
    that 
    he 
    had 

    And 
    whispered 
    their 
    praise 

    to 
    the soul 
    of 
    his 
    sword 

    If 
    Will 
    had 
    known 
    Verse 9
    better, 

    he'd 
    not 
    have 
    known 
    better

    And 
    his
    tory's 
    song 
    would 

    have ended 
    with time 

    So 
    it's 
    lucky 
    for

    ing 

    that 
    history's 
    yearning 

    Is 
    not 
    in 
    repeating 
    but 

    for something 
    that 
    rhymes 

    Verse 10
    Will you 
    pick 
    up 
    your 
    fiddle 
    young 

    Willie 
    (pick it 
    up)

    up 
    your 
    fiddle 
    and 
    play 

    For 
    the world 
    has 
    be
    gun 

    with 
    the birth 
    of 
    the sun

    And 
    its 
    death 
    the 
    very 
    same 
    day

      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

      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.
