Verse 1
Em

There lived a wife in

Arsh as well and a wealthy wife is she
Asus2
Em

She'd three fine and stalwart sons

and sent them o 'er the sea

They'd not been gone a week and a

week'd been barely one
Asus2
Em

When death sweeping over the

land took them one by one

And they'd not been gone a week,

a wink but barely three
Asus2
Em

When word come to that young girl,

a babe she'd never see
Asus2
Em

I wish the wind would nev er blow,
Asus2

no fish swim in the flood
Em

Till my darling babes are home,
Esus2
Em
Asus2
Em

they're home in flesh and blood

And there about the mountain mass,

the knights along the knock,
Asus2
Em

Heard three kids come to her door,

their hats were made of bark,

And the tree never grew in any ditch,

nor down by any wall.
Asus2
Em

But at the gates of paradise,

be strong and true to all
Asus2
Em

Blow out the fire, my maidens,
Asus2

or bring wa ter from the well
Em
Asus2
Em

Since my darling babes are home,
Asus2
Em

they come home safe and well

So she has laid the table with

bread and with wine
Asus2
Em

Come eat and drink, my darling babes,

Eat and drink, and mime.

We may not eat your bread, mother,

Nor may we drink your wine,
Asus2
Em

For cold death is lord of all,

To him we must resign.
Asus2
Em
Asus2

The green grass is at our head,
Em

And the clay is at our feet,
Asus2
Em

And your tears come tumbling down,
Asus2
Em

And wet our whining sheet.

So she has made the bed for them,

spread the milk white sheet
Asus2
Em

She's laid it all with cloth of gold

to see if they could sleep
Asus2
Em

And up and crew the red cock,
Asus2

up and crew the grey
Em
Asus2
Em

And the youngest to the eld est says,

brother we must away

And the cock had not crowed once

and clapped his wings for day

When the eldest to the youngest says,

Brother, we must away

For the cock crowed the day

Dawn, the chonnering wurrum shrie
Asus2

And if we're missed
Em

out of our place

Then, pain, we must bide
Asus2
Em

Farewell, farewell, my mother dear
Asus2
Em

Farewell to barn and fire
Asus2
Em

Oh, farewell, the sweet young girl
Esus2
Em
Asus2
Em

Kindling her mother's fire

  • 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.
