    • Verse 1
    Oh 
    the 
    cuckoo 
    she's 
    a 
    pretty 
    bird, 

    she sings 
    as she 
    flies 

    She 
    never 
    gets 
    lonesome 
    till 

    the 
    first 
    day 
    of 
    Ju
    ly. 

    I've 
    gambled 
    in 
    England, 

    and 
    I've 
    gambled 
    down 
    in 
    Spain. 

    I 
    gambled 
    with 
    five 
    aces, 

    now 
    I've 
    gambled 
    my 
    last 
    game. 

    Verse 2
    Oh, it's 
    gamblin' 
    that's 

    brought 
    me prison, 

    And 
    it's 
    gamblin' 
    that's 

    brought 
    me 
    pain 

    I'll 
    never 
    see 
    the 
    cuckoo 
    or 

    hear 
    her 
    song 
    again 

    Verse 3
    Jack 
    o' 
    diamonds, 
    jack 
    o' 
    diamonds, 

    I 
    know 
    you 
    of 
    old 

    You 
    robbed 
    my 
    poor 
    pockets 
    of 

    silver 
    and 
    of 
    gold. 

    Verse 4

    Oh 
    the 
    cuckoo 
    she's 
    a 
    pretty 
    bird, 

    she sings 
    as she 
    flies 

    She 
    never 
    gets 
    lonesome 

    till 
    the 
    first 
    day 
    of 
    Ju
    ly.

    • 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.”
