    Verse 1
    Love 
    burns 
    in a

    heart 

    He

    her 
    the moon 
    and 
    the stars 

    And 
    all 
    the treasures 
    of 
    the pharaohs

    To

    if 
    her 
    brings 
    a 
    red 
    red 
    rose 

    But 
    there 
    is 
    only 
    a rose 
    of 
    white 

    in 
    his 
    garden 
    green 

    And calling 
    up 
    to 
    the sky 
    the birds 

    heard 
    his lonely 
    cry 

    Verse 3
    "sing

    her 
    sweet

    "upon 
    this 
    thorn 
    you 
    must 

    impale 
    your 
    heart 

    And 
    then 
    the 
    blood 
    will turn 

    this 
    white 
    rose 
    red" 

    Verse 5

    All 
    night 
    the little 
    bird 
    sang 

    But in 
    the 
    morning 
    she 
    was 
    gone 

    And 
    beside 
    her 
    on 
    the 
    ground 

    lay 
    a red 
    red 
    rose 

    When 
    the 
    boy 
    found 
    it 
    there 

    joy 
    came 
    from 
    his 
    despair 

    Verse 6
    "you 
    sang 
    for 
    her 
    sweet 
    nightingale 

    You 
    told 
    her 
    of 
    my 
    love 

    You 
    bring 
    for 
    her 
    sweet 
    nightingale 

    This 
    red 
    red 
    rose 
    of 
    love" 

    Verse 7
    So 
    he 
    brought 
    her 
    the beau

    tiful 
    rose 

    "to 
    the ball 
    with 
    me 
    you will 
    go" 

    "but no" 
    she 
    said 
    "I 

    have 
    jewels 
    in
    stead 

    An
    other 
    has 
    won 
    my 
    heart 
    and 
    from 
    you 

    Now 
    I 
    must 
    part 
    so 
    take 
    your 
    foolish 

    rose 
    and 
    go!" 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 8
    Sing 
    for 
    her 
    sweet 
    nightingale 

    Sing 
    from 
    heaven 
    above 

    Bring 
    for 
    her 
    sweet 
    nightingale 

    The 
    wisdom 
    that 
    is 
    love 

    the wisdom 
    that 
    is 
    love.

      "

      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.
