    G

    Well met, well met, my friend,


    All on the highway riding,

    Though freely together here we stand.

    I pray thou tell to me,

    Of what gall and mist thou be,
    E

    And art thou not a serving man?
    G

    Oh no, my brother dear,
    D

    what makes thee to inquire
    G
    Bm
    A

    Of any such thing from my hand?
    D
    G
    D

    Indeed, I will not frain, but I will tell you plain,
    G
    D
    G

    I am a downright husbandman.
    D

    G
    D

    I am a downright husbandman.
    G

    Well, if an husbandman you be,

    will you walk along with me, though freely together here we stand?

    For in a very short space I may take you to a place
    E

    where you may be a serving man.
    D
    G
    D

    As to thine diligence, I give thee many thanks,
    G
    A

    but naught do I require from thine hand.
    D
    G

    But I pray now to me show,
    D

    Wherefore that I may know
    G

    G

    The pleasures of a serving man.

    D
    G

    Wherefore that I may know

    The pleasures of a serving man.

    Well, isn't it a nice thing to ride

    out with the king,

    With lords, dukes, or any such men,

    For to hear the horn, to blow

    and see the hounds

    All in a row, that's
    E

    pleasures of a serving man.
    D
    G

    But my pleasure's more than that,

    To see my oxen fanned,

    And a good stock of hay by
    Bm
    A

    them stand.
    D
    G

    With my ploughing and my sowing,

    D

    My reaping and my mowing,
    G
    D

    That's pleasures of an husband man.

    G

    That's pleasures of an
    D
    G

    husband man.

    But then we do wear the finest of grandeur,

    My coat is trimmed with
    D

    fur all around,
    G

    Our shirts as white as milk, and my stocking's made of silk,

    E

    That's clothing for a serving man.
    G

    As to my grandeur,
    D

    give I the coat I wear,
    G
    D
    G
    A

    Of some bushes to ramble among.
    D
    G

    Give to me a good great coat,
    D

    And in my purse a garout,
    G
    D
    G

    That's clothing for an husband man.

    G

    But then we do eat the most

    delicate fine meat
    D

    Of goose and of capon and swan
    G

    Our pastries made so fine

    We drink sugar in our wine
    E

    That's diet for a serving man
    D
    G

    As do my ducks and capons
    D

    Give I my beans and bacon
    G
    D

    An d a good drop of ale now and then
    G

    For in a farmer's house
    D

    You will find both brawn and sauce
    Bm
    G

    And that's a livin' for an
    D

    husband -man

    Kind sir, I must confess

    Although it causes me distress
    D

    To grant you the uppermost hand
    G

    Although it is most painful

    It is altogether gainful
    E

    And I wish I'd been an husband -man
    G
    D
    Bm

    So now, good people all,
    G
    D

    both be you great and small,
    G
    D

    Honour the
    Bm

    King of our land,

    • 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.
