The Cuckoo chords by 
Jean Ritchie
N/A•
Verse 1
D
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird,
she sings as she flies.
She brings us glad tidings
and she tells us no lies.
She sucks all pretty flowers
C#
to make her voice clear
D
And she never sings cuckoo till
C#
D
the spring of the year
Come all you young women,
C#
take warning by me
D
Never place your affections
Dsus4
D
on the love of a man
For the roots they will wither,
the branches decay
C#
D
Dsus4
He'll turn his back on you
D
and he'll walk square away
If you do forsake me I will not be forsworn
C#
D
And they'll all be mistaken
Dsus4
D
if they think
that I'll mourn
For I'll get myself up in
some higher degree
C#
D
And I'll walk as light by him
C#
D
as he can by me
Dsus4
Oh, the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
D
She sings as she flies
She brings us glad tidings
Dsus4

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

“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
