    Verse 1
    Speed 
    bonnie 
    boat 
    like 
    a 
    bird 
    on the 
    wing 

    Onward 
    the 
    sailors 
    cry. 

    Carry 
    the 
    lad 
    that's 
    born 
    to be 
    king 

    Over 
    the 
    sea 
    to Skye 

    Loud 
    the wind 
    howls 

    Loud 
    the waves 
    roar 

    Thunder
    claps 
    rend 
    the air 

    Baffled 
    our 
    foes 

    Stand 
    by the 
    shore 

    Follow 
    they 
    will 
    not dare 

    Speed 
    bonnie 
    boat 
    like 
    a 

    bird 
    on the 
    wing 

    Onward 
    the 
    sail
    ors 
    cry. 

    Carry 
    the 
    lad 
    that's 
    born 
    to be 
    king 

    Over 
    the 
    sea 
    to Skye 

    Many's 
    the lad 
    fought 
    on 
    that day 

    Well 
    the claymore 
    did wield 

    When 
    the night 
    came 

    Si
    lently 
    lain 

    Dead 
    on 
    Col
    loden field 

    Speed 
    bonnie 
    boat 
    like a 

    bird 
    on the 
    wing 

    Onward 
    the 
    sailors 
    cry. 

    Carry 
    the 
    lad 
    that's 
    born 
    to be 
    king 

    Over 
    the 
    sea 
    to Skye 

    Though 
    the waves 
    heave 

    Soft 
    will ye 
    sleep 

    Ocean's 
    a royal 
    bed 

    Rocked 
    in the 
    deep 

    Flora 
    will 
    keep 

    Watch 
    by your 
    weary 
    head 

    Speed 
    bonnie 
    boat 
    like 
    a 

    bird 
    on the 
    wing 

    Onward 
    the 
    sailor
    s 
    cry. 

    Carry the 
    lad 
    that's 
    born 
    to be 
    king 

    Over 
    the 
    sea 
    to Skye

      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

      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.
