    Verse 1
    Gonna 
    build 
    me 
    a log 
    cabin 

    on 
    a mountain 
    so 
    high, 

    So 
    I 
    can 
    see 
    Willy, 

    as 
    she 
    goes 
    walking 
    by. 

    Chorus: 

    Oh, the 
    cuckoo, 
    she's 
    a pretty 
    bird, 

    Lord, 
    she 
    warbles 
    as 
    she 
    flies; 

    She'll 
    never 
    say 
    cuckoo 

    Till 
    the 
    fourth 
    day 
    of July. 

    Well I 
    played 
    cards 
    in old 
    England 

    And 
    I've gambled 
    over 
    in 
    Spain, 

    And I'll 
    bet 
    you 
    ten 
    dollars 

    That 
    I'll 
    beat 
    you 
    next 
    game. 

    My 
    horses 
    they 
    ain't hungry 

    And 
    they 
    won't 
    eat 
    your 
    hay. 

    Verse 2
    I'll 
    drive 
    home 
    just 
    a little 
    further 

    Wondering 
    why 
    you treat 
    me this 
    way. 

    Oh, 
    the 
    cuckoo 
    she's 
    a pretty 
    bird. 

    Lord, 
    she 
    warbles 
    as 
    she 
    flies. 

    She'll 
    cause 
    never 
    more 
    trouble 

    And 
    she'll 
    tell 
    you 
    no 
    lies. 

    There's 
    one 
    thing 
    that's 

    been 
    a puzzle 

    Since 
    the day 
    that 
    time 
    began: 

    A man's 
    love 
    for, 
    for 
    his woman 

    And 
    her 
    sweet 
    love 
    for 
    her 
    man.

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
