    • Verse 1
    There 
    was 
    an 
    old, 
    blind 
    man 

    Who stood 
    on 
    the corner 

    down 
    town 

    Verse 2

    he 
    was 
    holding 
    a cup 

    Filled 
    up 
    with 
    noth
    ing 

    From 
    the christmas 
    shop
    ping 
    crowd 

    And 
    though 
    I 
    barely 
    came 
    up 
    to 

    the 
    top 
    of 
    his 
    cane 

    I reached 
    up 
    and 
    gave 
    him 

    Every 
    cent 
    to 
    my 
    name. 

    Verse 3
    (chor
    us): 

    Three 
    little 
    pen
    nies. 

    Were 
    all 
    that 
    I 
    had 

    One 
    that 
    I'd 
    found 

    Two 
    from 
    my 
    dad 

    Three 
    little 
    pennies 
    not 
    much 
    of 
    a 
    gift 

    But 
    Dad 
    said 
    "that's 
    plenty, 

    if 
    it's 
    all 
    you 
    can 
    give." 

    Verse 4

    that 
    evening 
    my 
    dad 
    told 
    a 
    wonderful 

    story 
    to 
    me 

    About 
    a child 
    and 
    the manger. 

    The 
    wise 
    men 
    who came 
    bearing 
    gifts 

    on 
    the first 
    christmas 
    eve. 

    There 
    was 
    a part 
    I'm 
    sure 
    he 
    made 
    up 

    About 
    a stable 
    boy 
    who 

    couldn't 
    give 
    much.. 

    Verse 5
    (chor
    us) 

    Three 
    little 
    pen
    nies. 

    Were 
    all 
    that 
    he 
    had 

    One 
    that 
    he'd 
    found 

    Two 
    from 
    his 
    dad 

    Three 
    little 
    pennies 
    not 
    much 
    of 
    a 
    gift 

    But 
    Dad 
    said 
    "that's 
    plenty 
    if 
    it's 

    all 
    you 
    can 
    give." 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    next 
    morning 
    was 
    christmas 

    And 
    I 
    had 
    prayed 
    hard 
    for 

    a 
    bike 

    But 
    all 
    that 
    I found 
    was 

    the tiniest 
    box 

    With three 
    shiny 
    pennies 
    in
    side 

    Verse 7

    and I 
    was so 
    disapointed 
    because 

    I had 
    been 
    good 

    But times 
    had 
    been 
    bad 

    so 
    I 
    understood. 

    Verse 8
    And 
    daddy 
    said: 

    "three 
    little 
    pennies. 

    Were 
    all 
    that 
    you 
    had 

    But you 
    gave 
    them 
    freely 

    So 
    I 
    gave 
    them 
    back 

    Three 
    little 
    pennies 
    not 

    much 
    of 
    a 
    gift 

    You're 
    bike 
    is 
    outside 
    because 
    you've 

    learned 
    how 
    to give"

      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.
