    There 
    once 
    Verse 1

    was 
    an 
    ugly 
    duck
    ling, 

    with 
    feath
    ers 
    all 
    stubby 
    and 
    brown. 

    And 
    the 
    other 
    bird
    s 
    in 
    so 
    many 
    words 
    said, 

    quack, 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    town. 

    Quack
    , 
    get 
    out, 
    quack, 
    quack, 
    get 
    out, 

    quack, 
    quack, 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    town. 

    So 
    he 
    went 
    with 
    a 
    quack, 
    and a 
    waddle, 

    and a 
    quack, 
    and 
    a 
    flurry 
    of 
    eider
    dow. 


    That 
    poor 
    little 
    ugly 
    duck
    ling 

    went 
    wan
    dering 
    far 
    and 
    near, 

    And 
    in 
    every 
    place 
    they 

    said 
    to 
    his 
    face, 

    Quack, 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    here! 

    Quack
    , 
    get 
    out, 
    quack, 
    quack, 
    get 
    out, 

    quack, 
    quack, 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    here. 

    So 
    he 
    went 
    with 
    a 
    quack 
    and 
    a 
    waddle 

    and 
    a 
    quack 
    and 
    a 
    very 
    un
    happy 
    tear. 


    All 
    through 
    the 
    wintertime 

    he 
    hid 
    himself 
    away, 

    Ashamed 
    to 
    show 
    his 
    face, 

    afraid 
    of 
    what 
    others 
    might 
    say. 

    All 
    through 
    the 
    winter, 

    in 
    his 
    lonely 
    clump 
    of 
    weeds, 

    Till 
    a 
    flock 
    of 
    swans 
    spied 
    him 
    there 

    and 
    very 
    soon 
    agreed, 

    You're 
    a 
    very 
    fine 
    swan 

    indeed. 

    Swan? 
    Me? 
    A 
    swan? 

    Ah, 
    go 
    on. 
    You are 
    a 
    swan. 

    Take 
    a look in 
    the lake, 
    and you'll 
    see. 

    And 
    he 
    looked, 
    and 
    he saw, 

    and 
    he 
    said, 

    Why, 
    it's 
    me! 
    I 
    am 
    a 
    swan! 

    Hooray! 
    I'm 
    not 
    such 

    an 
    ugly 
    duck
    ling, 

    With 
    feath
    ers 
    all 
    stubby 
    and 
    brown, 


    For 
    in 
    fact, 
    these 
    birds 
    in 
    so 
    many 
    words 
    said 
    quack
    , 

    the 
    best 
    in 
    town. 

    Quack
    , 
    the 
    best, 
    quack, 
    quack, 
    the 
    best, 

    quack, 
    quack, 
    the 
    best 
    in 
    town. 

    Not 
    a 
    quack, 
    not 
    a 
    quack, 

    not 
    a 
    wattle 
    or 
    a 
    quack, 

    But 
    a 
    glide 
    and 
    a 
    whistle 

    and 
    a 
    snow
    y 
    white
    back. 

    And 
    a 
    head 
    so 
    noble 
    and 
    high, 

    Say, 
    who's 
    an 
    ugly 
    duck
    ling? 

    Not 
    I!

      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.
