    Well a 
    Scotsman 
    clad in 
    kilt 
    left 

    the bar 
    one evening 
    fair 

    And one could 
    tell 
    by how 
    he walked that 

    he drank more 
    than 
    his 
    share 

    He fumbled 
    around 
    un
    til he 

    could no 
    longer 
    keep his 
    feet 

    Then 
    he stumbled 
    off 
    into 
    the grass 

    to sleep 
    beside 
    the 
    street 

    Ring- ding- 
    diddle- 
    diddle hai- 
    dee- 

    ho 
    ring- di- 
    diddly- ai- 
    oh 

    He 
    stumbled 
    off 
    into 
    the grass to 

    sleep 
    beside 
    the 
    street 

    About that 
    time two 
    young and 

    lovely 
    girls 
    just 
    happened 
    by 

    And one says 
    to 
    the other 
    with 

    a 
    twinkle 
    in her 
    eye 

    See yon 
    sleeping 
    Scots
    man so 

    strong 
    an
    d handsome 
    built 

    I 
    wonder 
    if it's 
    true what 
    they 

    don't wear 
    beneath the 
    kilt 

    Ring- ding- 
    diddle- diddle 
    hai- 

    dee- ho 
    ring- di- 
    diddly- ai- 
    oh 

    I 
    wonder 
    if it's 
    true what 
    they don't 

    wear 
    be
    neath the 
    kilt 

    She crept 
    up on 
    that sleeping 

    Scotsman 
    as 
    quiet 
    as could 
    be 

    And 
    lifted 
    up 
    his kilt 
    about 

    an inch 
    so they could 
    see 

    And 
    there 
    behold 
    unto their 
    view 

    beneath his 
    Scot
    tish 
    skirt 

    Was 
    nothing 
    more than 
    God 
    had graced 

    him with 
    upon 
    his 
    birth 

    Ring- ding- 
    diddle- diddle 
    hai- 

    dee- ho 
    ring- di- 
    diddly- ai- oh 

    Was 
    nothing 
    more than 
    God 
    had graced 

    him 
    with 
    upon 
    his birth 

    They marveled 
    for 
    a 
    moment 
    than one 

    said 
    we 
    must be 
    gone 

    Let's 
    leave 
    a 
    present 
    for 
    our 

    friend 
    before 
    we 
    move 
    along 

    As a 
    gift they 
    left 
    a 
    blue silk 
    ribbon 

    tied 
    in
    to 
    a bow 

    Around 
    the 
    bonny 
    star 
    the 
    Scot's 

    kilt did 
    lift and 
    show 

    Ring- ding- 
    diddle- 
    diddle hai- 
    dee- ho 

    ring- di- 
    diddly- ai- oh 

    Around 
    the bonny 
    star 
    the 

    Scot's 
    kilt did 
    lift 
    and show 

    Now 
    the Scotsman 
    woke 
    to nature's 

    call 
    and 
    stumbled 
    towards 
    the trees 

    Behind 
    the bush 
    he 
    lifts 
    his kilt 

    and 
    gasps 
    at 
    what 
    he sees 

    And in 
    a 
    startled 
    voice 
    he 
    says 

    to what's 
    be
    fore 
    his eyes 

    Oh 
    lad 
    I 
    don't know 
    where 
    you 
    been but 

    I 
    see you 
    won first 
    prize 

    Ring- ding- 
    diddle- diddle 
    hai- 

    dee- ho 
    ring- di- 
    diddly- ai- 
    oh 

    Oh 
    lad 
    I don't know 
    where 

    you been but 
    I see 
    you 
    won 
    first 
    prize!

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
