    Please 
    don't 
    cry 
    Verse 1

    For 
    the 
    ghost 
    and 
    the storm 
    outside 

    Will 
    not 
    invade 
    this 
    sac
    red 
    shrine 

    Nor 
    infiltrate 
    your 
    mind 

    Verse 2
    My 
    life 
    down 
    shall 
    lie 

    If 
    the 
    bogey- 
    man 
    should 
    try 

    To play 
    tricks 
    on 
    your 
    sacred 
    mind 

    To tease, 
    torment, 
    and 
    tantal
    ize 

    Wavering 
    shadows 
    loom 

    pi
    Verse 3
    ano 
    plays 
    in 
    an 
    empty 
    room 

    There'll 
    be blood 
    on 
    the cleaver 
    tonight 

    And 
    when 
    darkness 
    lifts 

    and 
    the 
    room 
    is 
    bright 

    I'll 
    still 
    be 
    by 
    your 
    side, 

    for 
    you 
    are all 
    that 
    matters 

    An
    I'll 
    love 
    you to 
    till 
    the 
    day 
    die 

    Verse 4
    There 
    never 
    need 
    be

    longing 
    in 
    your 
    eyes 

    As 
    long 
    as 
    the 
    hand 
    that 
    rocks 

    the 
    cradle 
    is 
    mine 

    Ceil
    ing 
    shadows 
    shimmy 
    by 

    And 
    when 
    the wardrobe 
    towers 
    like 

    beast 
    of 
    prey 

    There's sadness 
    in 
    your 
    beautiful 
    eye

    Oh, 
    your 
    Verse 5
    untouched, 
    unsoiled, 

    won
    drous 
    eye

    My 
    life 
    down 
    shall 
    lie 

    Should 
    restless 
    spirits 
    try 

    To play 
    tricks 
    on 
    your 
    sacred 
    mind 

    Verse 6
    once 
    had 
    a child, 
    and 
    it saved 
    my 
    life 

    And 
    never 
    even 
    asked 
    his 
    name 

    just 
    looked 
    into 
    his 
    won

    drous 
    eye

    And said, 
    "Never, 
    never, 
    never 
    again" 

    And 
    all 
    too 
    soon 
    did 
    re
    turn 

    Just 
    like 
    a moth 
    to 
    a flame 

    So 
    Verse 7
    rattle 
    my 
    bones 
    all 
    over 
    the stone

    I'm 
    only 
    beggar- 
    man 

    whom 
    nobody 
    owns 

    Oh, 
    see 
    how 
    words 
    as 
    old 
    as 
    sin 

    Fit 
    me 
    like 
    a glove 

    I'm 
    here 
    and 
    here 
    I'll 
    stay 

    To
    gether 
    Verse 8
    we 
    lie, 

    to
    gether 
    we 
    pray 

    There never 
    need 
    be
    longing 
    in 
    your 
    eyes 

    As 
    long 
    as 
    the 
    hand 
    that 

    rocks 
    the 
    cradle 
    is 
    mine 

    As 
    long 
    as 
    the 
    hand 
    that 
    rocks 

    the 
    cradle 
    is 
    mine, 
    mine 

    Verse 9
    Climb 
    up 
    on 
    my 
    knee, 
    sonny 
    boy 

    Although 
    you're 
    only 
    three, 

    sonny 
    boy 

    You're, 
    you're 
    mine 

    An
    your 
    mother, 
    she 
    just 
    never 
    knew 

    Oh, 
    your 
    mother 

    Verse 10
    As 
    long, 
    as 
    long, 
    as 
    long 

    did 
    my 
    best 
    for 
    her

    did 
    my 
    best 
    for 
    her

    As 
    Verse 11
    long, 
    as 
    long, 
    as long 
    as, 
    as 
    long 

    did 
    my 
    best 
    for 
    her 

    did 
    my 
    best 
    for 
    her 

    Mother,

    • 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.
