    Verse 1
    She moved 
    through 
    the fair 
    with 
    a smile 
    in her 
    eyes 

    So 
    pure 
    and 
    graceful 
    and free 

    And 
    caught 
    the 
    attention 

    of one 
    who was 
    there 

    A Can
    dlestick- 
    maker, 
    he 

    Handsome 
    and 
    young, 
    a craftsman 
    fine 

    Smit
    ten 
    by 
    her 
    that 
    day 

    And so 
    then 
    he 
    wrote 
    down 
    a 
    poem 

    for 
    her 
    that 
    would say 

    "Take 
    me 
    in 
    your 
    hands 
    to
    night 

    Come 
    through 
    the 
    par
    lour 
    by 
    candlelight 

    With 
    thee 
    I 
    will 
    wait 
    this 
    night 

    Chase 
    away 
    shadows 
    and stay 

    'til 
    the morn
    ing 
    is 
    nigh" 

    But 
    the 
    journey 
    of 
    love 
    is 
    a 
    rocky 
    road 

    And 
    comes 
    with 
    many 
    a spill 

    He 
    wooed 
    and 
    pursued 

    her for 
    more 
    than 
    a year 

    And 
    then 
    she said 
    I 
    will 

    He 
    made 
    her 
    a 
    gift 
    of 
    a 
    candlestick 

    On 
    their 
    wedding 
    day 

    And 
    written 
    in silver 
    around 
    in the 
    words, 

    that 
    did say 

    "Take 
    me 
    in 
    your 
    hands 
    to
    night 

    Come 
    through 
    the 
    parlour 
    by 
    candlelight 

    With 
    thee 
    I 
    will 
    wait 
    this 
    night 

    Chase 
    away 
    shadows 
    and 
    stay 
    'til 
    the morn

    ing 
    is 
    nigh" 


    That 
    candlestick 
    was 
    so much 

    loved 
    and admired 

    But hun
    dreds 
    of years 
    would go 
    by 

    'Twas 
    there 
    in 
    an old 
    Curios
    ity 
    shop 

    I found 
    it, 
    forgotten 
    by 
    time 

    Blackened 
    with 
    age 
    but soon 
    to 
    shine 

    Beauty 
    from 
    long 
    ago 

    And 
    I 
    often 
    consider 
    all 
    those 

    who 
    have 
    held 
    it 
    be
    fore 

    "Take 
    me 
    in 
    your 
    hands 
    to
    night 

    Come 
    through 
    the 
    parlour 
    by 
    candlelight 

    With 
    thee 
    I 
    will

      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 🙂

      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.
