    G

    Twas on a summer's mornin' as

    I rode o 'er the moss

    I had no thoughts of enlistin'
    Gm

    till some soldiers did me cross
    F
    G

    They kindly did invite me to a

    flow 'n bowl of grog

    And they advanced me,

    they advanced me
    G

    Oh, they advanced me, some man he

    took in his undercrown

    Oh yes, me loves enlist,

    and he wears a white cockade

    He is a handsome young

    man, a

    Russian roving blade.

    He is a handsome young man and he's

    gone to serve his king.
    G

    But, oh, my very, oh, my very, oh,

    my very heart is breaking all for the love of him.

    Oh, yes, me love is handsome

    and comely for to say.

    But by a sudden misfortune,

    the soldier now is he.

    And the very man that enlisted him
    F#m
    G

    and took him away from me.
    F#m
    G

    how I wish that, how I wish that,
    G

    oh how I wish that the

    Hollanders would sink him

    in the sea.

    Oh may he never prosper, oh may he never thrive,

    and everything he turns his hand as long as he's

    alive, and the very ground he treads upon the grass refused to grow,

    cause he's been,

    cause he's been, cause he's been the very cause of me sorrow,

    grief and woe.

    Then he took out his handkerchief

    and wiped her floor, and

    I,

    leave off your lamentations, likewise your mournful cries,


    leave off your lamentations,

    while I am o 'er the plains,

    and we'll be married,

    we'll be married, we'll be married

    in

    Newcastle when I return

    again.

    Oh, yes, me loves in

    Leicester, and I for him will rove,

    And carve his name on every tree

    that grows in yonder grove

    And the huntsmen he will holler and

    the hounds will loudly cry
    G

    To remind me, to remind me,

    to remind me
    Am
    C

    Of me plough boy until the day I die

    • 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.
