As I went a -walkin'
G

and a -ramblin' one day

I spied a young couple
G

so fondly did stray
C

And one was a young maid
G

so sweet and so fair
C
F

And the other one was a soldier
G

and a brave grenadier
C
F

And they kissed so sweet and comforting
G
C

as they clung to each other

They went arm and arm down the road
G

like sister and brother
C

They went arm and arm down the road
G

till they came to a stream
C
F

And they both sat down together
G
C

and loved to hear the nightingale sing

Then out of his knapsack
G
C

he drew a fine fiddle

And he played her such merry tunes
G

that you ever did hear
C

And he played her such merry tunes
G

that the valleys did ring
C
F

Softly cried the fair maid,
G
C

hear the nightingale sing
F

And they'd kiss so sweet and comforting
G

as they clung to each other

They went arm -in -arm down the road
G

like sister and brother
C

They went arm -in -arm down the road
G

till they came to a stream

And they both sat down together,
G
C

loved to hear the nightingale sing

Well, I'm off to India for
G
C

seven long years

Drinking wine and strong whiskey
G

instead of pale beers
C

And if ever I return again
G

it'll be in the spring
C
F

And we'll both sit down together
G
C

and love to hear the nightingale sing
F

And they kiss so sweet and comforting
G

as they clung to each other

They went arm and arm down the road
G

like sister and brother

They went arm and arm down the road

Oh no, says the soldier,

in me own country

And sure she is the fairest little thing

that you ever did see

And they kiss so sweet and comforting

as they drum to each other

They went arm and arm down the road

Like sister and brother

  • 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.
