    • Verse 1
    There 
    was 
    a 
    night 
    in 
    Lady 
    Bride 

    And 
    three 
    little 
    bays 
    had 
    she 

    She 
    sen
    t 
    them 
    away 
    to 
    a 
    far 
    country 

    To 
    learn 
    their 
    gram
    mar 
    read 

    They 
    hadn't 
    been 
    gone 

    but 
    a 
    very 
    short 
    time 

    About 
    three 
    months 
    and 
    a 
    day 

    Till 
    the 
    Lord 
    call 
    over 
    this 

    whole 
    wide 
    world 

    And 
    take 
    those 
    babes 
    away 

    It 
    was 
    on 
    a 
    dark, 
    cold 
    Christmas 
    night 

    When 
    everything 
    was 
    still 

    She 
    saw 
    her 
    three 
    little 

    birds 
    come 
    running 

    Come 
    running 
    down 
    the hill 


    She 
    spread 
    a 
    table 
    of 
    bread 
    and 
    wine 

    So 
    they 
    might 
    drink 
    and 
    eat 

    She 
    spread 
    a 
    bed 
    of 
    winding 
    sheep 

    That 
    they 
    might 
    sleep 
    so 
    sweet 

    Take 
    it 
    off, 
    take it 
    off, 

    ride 
    the 
    old 
    and 
    the strong 

    Take 
    it 
    off, 
    take it 
    off 
    said 
    she 

    I 
    can't 
    stay 
    here 
    in this 
    wide 

    wicked 
    world 

    There's 
    a 
    man, 
    one 
    for me 

    Cold 
    clods, 
    cold 
    clods 
    down 
    by 
    my 
    side 

    Cold 
    clothes 
    down 
    at 
    my 
    feet 

    The 
    tears my 
    dear 
    mother 
    shed 
    for

      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

      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.
