    Verse 1
    First 
    blood 

    The man 
    in 
    breeches 

    leans 
    against

    keeps 
    a 
    green- 
    striped 
    clove 

    ball 
    in 
    his 
    pouch 

    You 
    know 
    him 
    as

    sighs 

    And rubs 
    a green- 
    striped 
    gourd 

    across 
    her 
    palm 

    You 
    know 
    her 
    as 
    your 
    love 
    but she 
    is 
    marking 
    time 

    just 
    mark
    ing 
    time

    Hold 
    to me,

    me 

    What 
    you 
    will 

    Hold 
    to me, 
    say 
    to me, kiss 
    to

    for 
    me, do

    me 

    What 
    you 
    will 

    Verse 4

    all 
    the 
    an
    swers 
    are 
    the same 

    as 
    they 
    have 
    been 
    before 

    And 
    all 
    the questions 
    are 
    the same 
    as 
    you've 
    been 
    looking 
    for, 

    my 
    friend

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
