    • Verse 1
    When first 

    I came 
    to Louis
    ville 

    Some 
    pleas
    ure 
    there 
    to 
    find 

    A dam
    sel 
    there 
    from 

    Lexing
    ton 

    Was pleasing 
    to 
    my 
    mind 

    Her 
    rosy 
    cheeks, 
    her 
    ruby 
    lips, 

    Like 
    arrows 
    pierced 
    my breast 

    And 
    the name 
    she 
    bore was 
    Flora 

    The lily 
    of 
    the 
    West 

    Verse 2

    I courted 
    lovely 
    Flora 

    Some 
    pleasure 
    there 
    to 
    find 

    But 
    she 
    turned 
    unto 
    an
    other 
    man 

    Which 
    sore 
    dis
    tressed 
    my 
    mind 

    She 
    robbed 
    me 
    of 
    my 
    liber
    ty 

    De
    prived 
    me of 
    my 
    rest 

    Then 
    go, 
    my 
    lovely 
    Flor
    a 

    The 
    lily 
    of 
    the West

    Way 
    down 
    in 
    yonder 
    shady 
    grove 

    A 
    man 
    of 
    high 
    degree 

    Conversing 
    with 
    my 
    Flora 
    there 

    It 
    seems 
    so strange 
    to 
    me 

    And the 
    answer 
    that 
    she 
    gave 
    to 
    him 

    It 
    sore 
    did 
    me 
    op
    press 

    I 
    was 
    betrayed 
    by 
    Flora 

    The 
    lily 
    of 
    the 
    West 

    Verse 3

    I 
    stepped 
    up 
    to my 
    rival 

    My 
    dagger 
    in my 
    hand 

    I 
    seized 
    him by 
    the 
    collar 
    an
    d 

    I 
    boldly 
    bade 
    him 
    stand 

    Being 
    mad 
    to desperation 

    I 
    pierced 
    him 
    in 
    the breast 

    I killed a man 
    for 
    Flora 

    The 
    lily 
    of 
    the 
    West 

    Verse 4

    I had 
    to 
    stand 
    my 
    trial 

    I 
    had 
    to 
    make 
    my 
    plea 

    They 
    placed 
    me in 
    the 
    criminal 
    box 

    And 
    then 
    com
    menced 
    on 
    me 

    Although 
    she swore 
    my 
    life 
    away 

    De
    prived 
    me of 
    my 
    rest 

    Still 
    I love 
    my 
    faith
    less 
    Flora 

    The 
    lily 

    of 
    the 

    West

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
