Christmas pudding or tasty sweets.

See, the shoemaker and his wife together only
Am

just had enough pieces of leather to make

one pair of shiny shoes.
Em

He cried, oh dear,
C

what shall we do?

He took the leather and then he cut it, sew, sew,
Am

sewing each little bit, cob -cobbling the
Dm
G

leather into shoes,
Gm

but the poor shoemaker was feeling blue.
C
Am

I just can't carry on, he said,

and drooped his tired and heavy head, leaving his half -made

shoes in the shed.

He went off to sleep in his big

old bed.

The next morning the shoemaker went down,

but soon he lost his worried frown.
Am

Someone had finished making the shoes.

He ran to tell his wife the news.

You won't believe it,

Maria, he cried.

He was laughing and his

eyes were wide.

My shoes were finished in the night.

They are so perfect and so bright.

His wife jumped up and out of her bed.

But who finished them?

She said.

They looked at the

shoes together.

How beautiful looked the shiny leather.

That very day the new shoes sold

for seven shiny coins of gold.

The shoemaker and his wife jumped for joy,

they crept silently into the shed.

Suddenly there was a

jingle and a rustle.

Into the shed two elves did bustle.

Christmas elves! his wife whispered back.

Soon the elves had made a shiny

new pair.

They ran out and left the

shoes right there.

Green leather shoes that sparkled so bright,
C
G
Am

made by elf magic, during the night.
C

The shoemaker's wife said to him then,
F

Why, they've helped us

out again.

We should give them something back,
F
G

something those kind elves lack.
F

I agree,
Am

Maya, the shoemaker said,
G

but what to give those elves in the shed?
C

Then his wife said,
C
F

Hmm, aha, I know, they need some warm

winter clothes.
C

She made woolly jumpers for the elves, and
F

laid them out on the shelves.
C

From then on the elves always helped out,

and none of them ever went without.

  • 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.
