The Cuckoo easy guitar chords by
Anne Briggs
Anne Briggs

N/A
Verse 1
Eb

The cuckoo's a pretty bird,

she sings as she flies.

She brings us good tidings,

tells us no lies.

She sucks the little bird's eggs

to keep her voice clear.

And when she sings cuckoo,

the summer draws near.

As I walk down by the side of a bush,

I hear two birds whistle in

the blackbird and the thrush.

I asked them the reason, so merry they be,

And the answer they gave me,

We are single and we are free.

A -walkin', a -talkin', a -walkin' was

I,

To meet my true lover he'll come by

To meet him in the meadows
Ab
Eb

is all my delight,

A -walkin' and talkin'

from mornin' till night.

Meeting is pleasure, but parting is a grief,

And an inconstant lover is

worse than a thief.

A thief can but rob me and take all I have,


But an inconstant lover

sends me to the grave.

And the grave,

it will rot me and bring me to dust

An inconstant lover,

no maiden can trust

They'll court you and kiss

you and vow they'll

be true

And the very next moment,

they'll bid you

The cuckoo's a pretty bird,

she sings as she flies.

She brings us glad tidings, tells us no lies,

and when her time is come, her voice we don't

hear.

And where she goes we do

not know until another year.

  • 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.
