    Verse 1
    On 
    her 
    way 
    to 
    work 
    one 
    morning 

    Down 
    the 
    path 
    alongside 
    the 
    lake 

    tender 
    hearted 
    woman 
    saw 

    poor 
    half-frozen 
    snake 

    snake 

    His 
    pretty 
    colored 
    skin 
    had 
    been 

    All 
    frosted 
    with 
    the 
    dew 

    "Poor 
    thing, 
    " she 
    cried 

    "I'll 
    take 
    you 
    in 
    and 
    I'll 

    take 
    care 
    of 
    you" 

    "Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    for 
    heaven's 
    sake 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman, 

    " sighed 
    the 
    snake 

    Verse 2

    She 
    wrapped 
    him 
    up 
    all 
    cozy 

    In 
    coverture 
    of 
    silk 

    And 
    then 
    laid 
    him 
    by 
    the 
    fireside 

    With 
    some 
    honey 
    and 
    some 
    milk 

    She 
    hurried 
    home 
    from 
    work 
    that 
    night 

    And 
    soon 
    as 
    she 
    arrived 

    She 
    found 
    that 
    pretty 
    snake 
    she'd 

    Taken 
    in 
    had 
    been 
    re
    vived 

    "Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    for 
    heaven's 
    sake 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman, 

    " sighed 
    the 
    snake 

    Verse 3

    She 
    clutched 
    him 
    to 
    her 

    Bosom, 
    "You're 
    so 
    beautiful, 

    " she 
    cried 

    "But 
    if 
    hadn't 
    brought 
    you 
    in 

    By 
    now 
    you 
    might 
    have 
    died" 

    She 
    stroked 
    his 
    pretty 
    skin 
    again 
    and 

    Then 
    kissed 
    and 
    held 
    him 
    tight 

    But 
    instead 
    of 
    saying 
    thanks 

    The snake 
    gave 
    her 

    vicious 
    bite 

    "Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    for 
    heaven's 
    sake 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman, 

    " sighed 
    the 
    snake 

    "I 
    saved 
    you, 
    " cried 
    that 
    woman 

    "And 
    you've 
    bit 
    me, 
    but 
    why? 

    You 
    know 
    your 
    bite 
    is 
    poisonous 

    And 
    now 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    die" 

    "Oh 
    shut 
    up, 
    silly 
    woman 

    " said 
    that 
    reptile 
    with 
    grin 

    "You 
    knew 
    darn 
    well 
    was 

    Snake 
    before 
    you 
    took 
    me 
    in" 

    "Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    for 
    heaven's 

    sake 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman, 

    Outro 1
    " sighed 
    the 
    snake

    • 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.
