    Verse 1
    took 
    myself 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    Tally 
    Ho 
    Tavern 

    To 
    buy 
    me 
    bottle 
    of 
    beer 

    And 
    sat 
    me 
    down 
    by 
    tender 
    young 
    maiden 

    Who's 
    eyes 
    were 
    as 
    dark 
    as 
    her 
    hair 

    And 
    as 
    was 
    searching 
    from 
    bottle 
    to 
    bottle 

    For 
    something 
    un-foolish 
    to 
    say 

    That 
    silver-tongued 
    devil 

    just 
    slipped 
    from 
    the 
    shadows 

    And 
    smilingly 
    stole 
    her 
    a
    way 

    Chorus 1
    said: 
    "Hey, 
    little 
    girl, 

    don't 
    you 
    know 
    he's 
    the 
    devil?" 

    He's 
    everything 
    that 
    ain't 

    Hiding 
    intentions 
    of 
    evil 

    Under 
    the 
    smile 
    of 
    saint 

    All 
    he's 
    good 
    for 
    is 
    getting 
    in 
    trouble 

    And 
    shiftin' 
    his 
    share 
    of 
    the 
    blame 

    And 
    some 
    people 
    swear 
    he's 
    my 
    double 

    And 
    some 
    even 
    say 
    we're 
    the 
    same 

    But 
    the 
    silver-tongued 
    devil's 

    got 
    nothing 
    to 
    lose 

    I'll 
    only 
    live 
    'til 
    die 

    We 
    take 
    our 
    own 
    chances 

    and 
    pay 
    our 
    own 
    dues 

    The 
    silver-tongued 
    devil 
    and 


    Verse 2
    Like 
    all 
    the 
    fair 
    maidens 

    who've 
    laid 
    down 
    beside 
    him 

    She 
    knew 
    in 
    her 
    heart 
    that 
    he'd 
    lied 

    Nothin' 
    that 
    could 
    have 
    said 

    could 
    have 
    saved 
    her 

    No 
    matter 
    how 
    hard 
    that 
    she 
    tried 

    'Cause 
    she'll 
    offer 
    her 
    charms 

    to 
    the 
    darkness 
    and 
    danger 

    Of 
    somethin' 
    that 
    she's 
    never 
    known 

    And 
    open 
    her 
    arms 
    at 
    the 
    smile 
    of 
    stranger 

    Who'll 
    love 
    her 
    and 
    leave 
    her 
    a
    lone 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    you 
    know, 
    he's 
    the 
    devil 

    He's 
    everything 
    that 
    ain't 

    Hiding 
    intentions 
    of 
    evil 

    Under 
    the 
    smile 
    of 
    saint 

    All 
    he's 
    good 
    for 
    is 
    getting 
    in 
    trouble 

    And 
    shiftin' 
    his 
    share 
    of 
    the 
    blame 

    And 
    some 
    people 
    swear 
    he's 
    my 
    double 

    And 
    some 
    even 
    say 
    we're

    same 

    But

    • 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.
