  • Verse 1
    When it's 
    midnight 
    on 
    the meadow 

    And 
    the 
    cats 
    are in the 
    shed 

    And 
    the river 
    tells 
    story 

    At 
    the 
    window 
    by my 
    bed 

    If 
    you 
    listen 
    very 
    closely 

    Be as 
    quiet 
    as you 
    can

    In the 
    yard you'll 
    hear him 

    It is 
    the pony 
    man 

    We're 
    always 
    there 
    to greet him 

    When he 
    tumbles 
    into town 

    He 
    leads 
    a string of 
    ponies 

    Some are 
    white 
    and some are 
    brown 

    And they 
    never seem 
    to 
    kick or 
    bite 

    They only 
    want to 
    play 

    And 
    they live on 
    candy 
    apples 

    Instead 
    of 
    oat
    s and 
    hay 

    Verse 2
    And 
    when we're 
    all 
    assembled 

    He 
    gives 
    a soft command 

    And 
    we climb 
    aboard 
    our 
    ponies 

    As 
    in 
    a row the 
    stand 

    Then 
    down the 
    road we 
    gallop 

    And across 
    the 
    fields we 
    fly 

    And 
    soon we 
    all go 
    sail
    ing 
    off 

    Into the 
    mid
    night 
    sky 

    Verse 3
    And 
    as we 
    gaily 
    rock 
    along 

    Be
    side 
    a ripplin' 
    sea 

    There's 
    Tom 
    'n Dick 
    'n 
    Sally 

    And 
    Mary 
    Joe and 
    me 

    And the 
    pony 
    man is 
    leading 

    Cause he's 
    trav
    elled 
    here before 

    And 
    he gives 
    a whoop 
    and a 
    holler 

    At 
    Mr. 
    Moon's front 
    door 



    Verse 4
    And as we 
    stop to 
    rest 
    a while 

    Where the 
    soda 
    river 
    glides 

    Up 
    to the 
    slip comes 
    pirate 
    ship 

    To 
    take 
    us for 
    a ride 

    And 
    the 
    pony 
    man's the 
    captain 

    And 
    the 
    children 
    are the 
    crew 

    And 
    we go 
    in search 
    of 
    treasure 

    And 
    laugh 
    the whole night 
    through 

    Verse 5
    And 
    when the 
    hold is 
    filled with 
    gold 

    And the 
    sails 
    begin to 
    strain 

    And 
    the deck's piled 
    high 
    with apple 
    pie 

    We 
    head for 
    port 
    again 

    And 
    down the 
    whirling 
    starcase 

    So 
    swift 
    our ponies 
    fly 

    And 
    we're safely 
    in our 
    bed
    again 

    When the 
    sunbeams 
    kiss the 

    sky 


    Verse 6

    When it's 
    midnight 
    on 
    the meadow 

    And 
    the 
    cats 
    are in the 
    shed 

    And 
    the river 
    tells 
    story 

    At 
    the 
    window 
    by my 
    bed 

    If 
    you 
    listen 
    very 
    closely 

    Be as 
    quiet 
    as you 
    can

    In the 
    yard you'll 
    hear him 

    It is 
    the pony 
    man

    • 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.
