Verse 1
D
A

Oh, what's the matter with you,

my loves?
D
G
A

And where's your dashing Jimmy?
D
A

The soldier boys have picked him up
D
G
D

And sent him far, far from me.
A

Last payday he went into town
Bm
A

And them red -coated fellows
D
A

Enticed a man and made him drunk,
D
A

And he'd better gone to the gallows.
D
A

The very sight of his cacade,
D
G
A

It sets us all a -crying,
D
A

And me, I nearly fainted twice,
D
G

I thought that I was dy ing.
D
A

My father would have paid the smart,
Bm
A

And he ran for the golden guinea.
D

But the sergeant swore
A

he'd kiss the book,
D
A
D
A

So now they've got young Jimmy.
D
A

When Jimmy talks about the wars,
D
G
A

It's worse than death to hear him.
D
A

I must go out and hide my tears,
D
F#m
D

Because I cannot bear him.
A

A brigadier or grenadier,
Bm
A

He says they're sure to make him,
D
A

And I, jives and cracks his jokes,
D
A
D
A

And bids me not forsake him.
D
A

As I walked o 'er the stubble field,
D
G
A

below it runs the seam,
D

I thought of Jimmy
A
D
G
D

Ewing there, but it was all a dream.
A

He hewed the very coals we burn,
Bm
A

and when the fire I'm lighting,
D
A

To think the lumps wherein his hands
D

would set my heart a -beating
A

So break my heart, and then it's o 'er
Bm
F#m
A

Oh, break my heart, my dearie
D
A

And I lie in the cold green ground
D
A

For a single life I'm weary you

  • 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.
