    Verse 1
    The 
    sheep's 
    in 
    the 
    meadow, 

    the 
    cow's 
    in 
    the 
    corn 

    Now 
    is 
    the time 
    for 
    a child 
    to 
    be born 

    He'll 
    laugh 
    at 
    the moon 

    and he'll 
    cry 
    for 
    the 
    sun 

    And 
    if 
    it's a 
    boy, 
    he'll 
    carry 
    gun 

    Sang 
    the 
    crow, 
    on 
    the 
    crow 

    And 
    if it 
    should 
    be 
    piss, 
    baby's 
    a girl 

    Nev
    er 
    you mind 
    if 
    her hair 
    doesn't 
    curl 

    With 
    rings 
    on 
    her fingers 

    and 
    bells 
    on 
    her 
    toes 

    And 
    a bumble 
    above 
    her 

    wherever 
    she 
    goes 

    Sang 
    the 
    crow 
    on 
    the 
    crane 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    The 
    crow on 
    the 
    cradle, 

    the 
    black 
    and 
    the 
    white 

    Somebody's 
    baby 
    is 

    born 
    for 
    a fight

    The 
    crow on 
    the 
    cradle, 

    the 
    white 
    and 
    the 
    black 

    Somebody's 
    baby 
    is 
    not 
    coming 
    back

    St. 

    Luca 
    on 
    the 
    cradle 



    Your 
    mother 
    and 
    father, 

    they'll sweat 
    and 
    they'll 
    save 

    To 
    build 
    you 
    coffin 
    an
    dig you 
    a grave 

    Usher 
    by 
    little 
    one, 
    never 
    you 
    weep 

    For 
    we've 
    got 
    a toy 
    that 
    can 

    put you 
    to 
    sleep

    Sang 
    the 
    crow 
    on 
    the 
    cradle 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 3
    Bring 
    me 
    my 
    gun 
    and 
    I'll shoot 

    that 
    bullet 
    dead 

    That's 
    what your 
    mother 

    and 
    father 
    once 
    said 

    The 
    crow 
    on 
    the cradle, 
    what 
    can 
    we 
    do? 

    This 
    is a 
    thing 
    that 
    I'll 
    leave 
    up 
    to you, 

    sang 
    the 
    crow 
    on 
    the 
    cradle. 

    Ah, 
    this 
    is a thing 
    that 
    I'll 
    leave 
    up 
    to you, 

    Sang 
    the 
    cruel 
    on 
    the 
    cradle

    • 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.
