    On 
    her 
    way 
    to 
    work 
    one 

    morn
    ing 
    down 
    a 
    bend 
    alongside 
    the 
    lake 

    A 
    tender 
    -hearted 
    woman 
    saw 

    a 
    poor 
    half 
    -frozen 
    snake 

    His 
    pretty 
    colored 
    skin 
    had 
    been 
    all 

    frosted 
    with 
    the 
    dew 

    Alright! 

    Girl, 
    I'll 
    take 
    you 
    in 
    an
    d 

    I'll 
    take 
    care 
    of 
    you 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman, 

    take 
    me 
    in 
    for 
    heaven's 
    sake 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman, 

    s 
    -s 
    -side 
    the 
    snake 

    She 
    wrapped 
    him 
    up 
    all 
    cozy 

    in 
    a 
    com
    fort
    er 
    of 
    silk 

    An
    d 
    then 
    laid 
    him 
    by 
    the 
    fireside 

    with 
    some 
    honey 
    and 
    some 
    milk 

    She 
    hur
    ried 
    home 
    from 

    work 
    that 
    night. 

    As 
    soon 
    as 
    she 
    arrived, 

    she 
    found 
    that 
    pretty 
    snake 
    she'd 
    taken 
    in 
    had 
    been 
    revived. 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    wo
    man. 

    Take 
    me 
    in 
    for 
    heav
    en's 
    sake. 

    Take 
    me 
    in
    , 
    tender 
    wo
    man. 

    S 
    -s

    -side 
    the 
    snake. 

    She 
    clutched 
    him 
    to 
    her 
    bosom. 

    You're 
    so 
    beautiful! 

    She 
    cried. 

    But 
    if 
    I 
    hadn't 
    brought 
    you 
    in 
    by 
    now, 

    you 
    might 
    have 
    died. 

    Well, 
    she 
    stroked 
    his 
    pretty 
    skin 
    again, 

    kissed 
    and 
    held 
    him 
    tight. 

    But 
    instead 
    of 
    saying 
    thanks, 

    the snake 
    gave 
    her 
    a 
    vicious 
    bite. 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman, 

    take 
    me 
    in 
    for

    the 
    snake 

    You're 

    Satan, 
    cried 
    that 
    wo
    man, 

    and 
    you've 
    bitten 
    me, 
    but 
    why? 

    You 
    know 
    your 
    bite 
    is 
    pois
    onous, 

    and 
    now 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    die 

    Ah, 
    shut 
    up, 
    silly 
    woman, 

    said 
    that 
    reptile 
    with 
    a

    Ah, 
    you knew 
    darn 
    well 
    I 
    was 
    a

      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.
