    • Verse 1
    The minstrel 
    boy 
    to 
    the war 
    is 
    gone, 

    In 
    the 
    ranks 
    of 
    death 
    you'll 
    find 
    him; 

    His 
    father's 
    sword 
    he 
    hath 
    girded 
    on, 

    And 
    his wild 
    harp 
    slung 

    be
    hind 
    him; 

    Verse 2
    "Land 
    of 
    Song!" 
    cried the 
    warrior 
    bard, 

    (Should) 
    "Tho' all 
    the 

    world 
    betrays 
    thee, 

    One 
    sword, 
    at least, 
    thy 
    rights 
    shall 
    guard, 

    One 
    faith
    ful 
    harp 
    shall 
    praise 

    thee!" 

    Verse 3

    The Minstrel 
    fell! 
    But 

    the foeman's 
    steel 

    Could 
    not 
    bring 
    that 
    proud 

    soul 
    under; 

    The 
    harp 
    he lov'd 
    ne'er 

    spoke 
    again, 

    For 
    he 
    tore 
    its 
    chords 
    asunder; 

    Verse 4
    And 
    said 
    "No 
    chains 
    shall 
    sully 
    thee, 


    Thou soul 
    of 
    love 
    and 
    brav'ry! 

    Thy songs 
    were 
    made 
    for 

    the 
    pure 
    and 
    free 

    They 
    shall 
    nev
    er 
    sound 

    in 
    slavery!

    • 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.”
