    On 
    her 
    way 

    to work 
    one 
    morning 

    Down 
    the path 
    along 
    side 
    the lake 

    A tender 
    hearted 
    woman 

    saw 
    a poor 
    half 
    frozen 
    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 
    heav
    en's 
    sake 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 

    tender 
    woman," 
    sighed 
    the 
    snake 

    She 
    wrapped 
    him 
    all 
    cozy 
    in 

    a 
    comforter 
    of silk 

    And laid 
    him 
    by 
    her fireside 
    with 

    some 
    honey 
    an
    d some 
    milk 

    She 
    hurried 
    home 
    from 
    work 
    that 

    night 
    and soon 
    as 
    she 
    ar
    rived 

    She 
    found 
    that 
    pretty 
    snake 
    she'd 

    taken 
    to had 
    bee 
    revived 

    "Take 
    me in, 
    tender 
    woman 

    Take 
    me 
    in
    , 
    for 
    heaven's 
    sake 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    wo
    man," 

    sighed 
    the 
    snake 

    She 
    clutched 
    him 
    to 
    her 
    bos
    om, "You're 

    so 
    beautiful," 
    she cried 

    "But 
    if 
    I 
    hadn't 
    brought 
    you 
    in by 

    now 
    you might 
    have died" 

    She 
    stroked 
    his 
    pretty 
    skin 
    again 

    and 
    kissed 
    and 
    held 
    him 
    tight 

    Instead 
    of saying 
    thank
    s, 

    the 
    snake 
    gave 
    her 
    a vi
    cious 
    bite 

    "Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    wo
    man 

    Take 
    me in, 
    for 
    heaven's 
    sake 

    Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman," 

    sighed 
    the snake 

    "I saved 
    you," 
    cried 
    the 
    woman 

    "And 
    you've 
    bit
    ten 
    me, 
    but 
    why? 

    You 
    know 
    your 
    bite 
    is 
    poisonous 

    and now 
    I'm 
    going 
    to die" 

    "Oh shut 
    up, 

    silly 
    woman," 
    said 
    the 
    reptile 
    with 
    a grin 

    "You 
    knew 
    damn 
    well 
    I was 
    a snake 

    before 
    you 
    took 
    me 
    in 

    "Take 
    me 
    in, 
    tender 
    woman 

    Take 
    me in
    , 

    for 
    heaven's 
    sake 


    Take 
    me 
    in, 

    tender 
    wo
    man," 
    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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
