    This is 
    a very wonderful, 

    kind of 
    spooky 
    song 
    called 

    Crow 
    on 
    the 

    Cradle. 

    This is 

    Jackson 

    Brown 
    and 

    Graham 

    Nash. 


    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 
    cradle 

    And 
    if 
    it should 
    be 
    that 
    this baby's 
    a girl 

    Nev
    er 
    you mind 
    if 
    her hair 

    doesn't 
    grow 

    With 
    rings 
    on 
    her fingers 

    and 
    bells 
    on 
    her 
    toes 

    And 
    a bomber 
    above 
    her, 

    wherever 
    she 
    goes 

    Sang 
    the 
    chorus 

    On 
    the 
    cradle 




    Your 
    mother 
    and 
    father, 

    they'll sweat 
    and 
    they'll 
    say 

    To 
    build 
    you 
    coffin 
    and 
    dig you 
    grave 

    Hush 
    up, 
    little 
    one, 
    never 
    you 
    weep 

    For 
    we've 
    got 
    a toy 
    that 

    can 
    put you 
    to 
    sleep 

    Sang 
    the 
    crow 
    on 
    the 
    cradle 

    Bring 
    me 
    my gun 
    and 
    I'll 

    shoot that 
    bird 
    dead 

    That's 
    what your 
    mother 

    and 
    father 
    once 
    said 

    But 
    crow 
    on 
    the cradle, 
    what 
    can 
    we 
    do? 

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

    Send 
    the 
    crow 
    on 
    the 
    cradle 

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

    Sang 
    the 
    chord 
    on 
    the 
    cradle 

    Thank 
    you. 

    Thank 
    you.

    • 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.
