    Verse 1
    When 
    I 

    was 
    just 
    a 
    wee little 
    lad, 

    full 
    of health 
    and 
    joy, 

    My 
    father 
    homeward 
    came 
    one 
    night 

    and 
    gave 
    to 
    me 
    a 
    toy. 

    A 
    won
    der, 
    to behold
    , 

    it was 
    with 
    many 
    colors 
    bright 

    And 
    the 
    moment 
    I 
    laid 
    eyes 
    on 
    it, 

    it be
    came 
    my 
    heart's 
    de
    light 

    It 
    went sit 
    when 
    it 
    moved, 

    bop 
    when it 
    stopped, 

    rah -rah 
    -rah -rah 
    -rah -rah when it 
    stood still 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    just 
    what it 
    was 

    and I 
    guess 
    I never 
    will 

    It 
    first 
    marched 
    left 
    then 
    marched 
    right 

    then 
    marched 
    under 
    a chair 

    and 
    when I 
    looked 
    where 
    it had 
    gone 

    It 
    wasn't 
    even there. 
    I 

    Star
    ted 
    to cry 
    my 
    daddy 
    laughed 

    cuz he 
    knew 
    that 
    I would 
    find 

    When 
    I 
    turned 
    around 

    my 
    mar
    velous 
    toy 

    came 
    chugging 
    from 
    be
    hind 

    It 
    went 
    zip 
    when it 
    moved, 

    bop 
    when it 
    stopped, 

    brrrrrrr 
    when it 
    stood still 

    I 
    never 
    knew 
    just 
    what it 
    was, 

    and I 
    guess 
    I 
    never 
    will 

    Well, 
    the years 
    spin 
    by 
    too 
    quickly 

    it seems, 
    I 
    have 
    my 
    own 
    little 
    boy 

    And 
    yesterday 
    I 
    gave 
    to him 

    the 
    mar
    velous 
    little 
    toy 

    His 
    eye
    s nearly 
    popped 

    right 
    out of 
    his head 

    He 
    gave 
    a 
    squeal 
    of 
    glee 

    Neither 
    one 
    of 
    us 
    know 
    just 
    what 
    it is 

    But he 
    loves 
    it 
    just 
    like 
    me 

    It 
    went 
    zip 
    when it 
    moved 

    Bop 
    when it 
    stopped 

    Brrrr 
    when 
    it 
    stood still 

    We 
    never 
    knew 
    just 
    what 
    it 
    was 

    And 
    I 
    guess 
    we never 
    will 

    It 
    went 
    zip 
    when it 
    moved 

    Bop 
    when it 
    stopped 

    Brrr! 
    and 
    stood still. 

    We 
    never 
    knew 
    just 
    what 
    it was, 

    and I 
    guess 
    we never 
    will.

      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

      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.
