    • Verse 1
    On the 
    fourteenth 
    of 
    May 
    at 

    the 
    dawn 
    of 
    the day 

    With 
    my gun 
    on my 
    shoulder 

    to 
    the woods 
    I 
    did stray 

    In 
    search 
    of some 
    game 
    if 

    the 
    weather 
    proved 
    fair 

    To 
    see 
    could I 
    get 
    a shot 

    at the 
    bonny 
    black 
    hare 

    Oh, 
    I met 
    a young 
    girl 
    there 

    with her face 
    as 
    a rose 

    And her 
    skin 
    was 
    as fair 
    as 
    the 
    lily 
    that 
    blows 

    I 
    says 
    "My fair 
    maiden, 

    why 
    mumble 
    you so? 

    Can 
    you 
    tell 
    me where 
    the bonny 

    black 
    hare 
    do go?" 

    Oh, 
    the 
    answer 
    she 
    gave 
    me, 

    her 
    answer 
    was 
    "No 

    But it's 
    under 
    me 
    apron 
    they 
    say 
    it 
    do go 

    And 
    if you'll 
    not 
    deceive 
    me 
    I 

    vow 
    and 
    declare 

    We'll both 
    go 
    together 
    to 
    hunt 

    the 
    bonny 
    black 
    hare" 

    Well, 
    I laid 
    this girl 
    down 
    with 

    her 
    face 
    to 
    the sky 

    And 
    I took 
    out 
    my ramrod 
    and 

    my bullets 
    likewise 

    I says 
    "Lock 
    your legs 
    round 
    me 

    and 
    dig in 
    with your 
    heels 

    For the 
    closer 
    we 
    get, 
    oh, 

    the 
    better 
    it feels" 

    The birds 
    they 
    were singing 
    in 

    the 
    bushes 
    and 
    trees 

    And the 
    song 
    that they 
    sang 
    was 
    "Oh, 

    she's 
    easy 
    to please" 

    I 
    felt 
    her heart 
    quiver 
    and 
    I 

    knew 
    what 
    I'd done 

    Says 
    I 
    "Have 
    you 
    had 
    enough 

    of my 
    old 
    sporting 
    gun?" 

    Oh, 
    the answer 
    she 
    gave 
    me, 

    her 
    answer 
    was 
    "Nay 

    It's 
    not often 
    young 
    sportsmen 

    like 
    you 
    come 
    this 
    way 

    And if 
    your powder 
    is 
    willing 

    and 
    your bullets 
    play 
    fair 

    Why 
    don't 
    you keep 
    firing 
    at 

    the 
    bonny 
    black 
    hare?" 

    "Oh, 
    my 
    powder 
    is 
    wasted 
    and 

    my bul
    lets 
    all 
    gone 

    My ramrod 
    is 
    limp 
    and 
    I 
    cannot 
    fire 
    on 

    But 
    I'll 
    be back 
    in 
    the morning 

    and 
    if 
    you 
    are 
    still 
    here 

    We'll 
    both 
    go 
    together 
    to 

    hunt the 
    bonny 
    black 
    hare"

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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.
