    Verse 1
    Oh, the people 
    would come 
    from far 
    away, 


    To dance 
    all night to 
    the break 
    of day. 

    When the 
    caller 
    would 
    holler: "Do Si 
    Do", 


    They knew Uncle 
    Pen was 
    ready 
    to go. 

    Late 
    in the evening, 
    about sundown, 
    High on 
    Verse 2

    the hill, 
    an' above the 
    town, 

    Uncle 
    Pen played 
    the fiddle, Lord, 

    how 
    it rang, 

    You could hear it 
    talk, 

    you could 
    hear it 
    sing! 


    Verse 3
    Instrumental 
    break. 


    Well, 
    he played an old 
    tune they called 
    the "Soldier's 
    Joy", 


    And he played the one 
    they called 

    the "Boston 
    Boy". 

    Greatest 
    of all was 
    the "Jennie 
    Lynn", 


    To me, that's 
    where 

    Verse 4
    the fiddlin' begins. 

    Late in 
    the evening, 
    about sundown, 

    High on 
    the hill, an' 
    above the 
    town, 

    Uncle 
    Pen played 
    the fiddle, Lord, 

    how 
    it rang, 

    You could hear 
    it talk, 

    you could hear it 
    sing! 

    Interlude 1
    Instrumental 
    break. 


    Verse 5

    I'll never forget 
    that 
    mournful 
    day 

    When old 
    Uncle Pen was 
    called 
    away, 

    He 
    hung up his 
    fiddle and 
    he hung up 
    his bow, 


    And he knew it was 
    time for 
    him to 
    go. 

    Late 
    in the evening, 
    Verse 6
    about sundown, 

    High on 
    the hill, 
    an' above the 
    town, 

    Uncle 
    Pen played 
    the fiddle, Lord, 

    how 
    it rang, 

    You could hear it 
    talk, 

    you could hear it 
    sing! 

    Interlude 2
    Instrumental 
    break. 



    Late 
    in the 
    evening, 
    about sundown, 
    Verse 7

    High on 
    the hill, 
    an' above 
    the town, 


    Uncle Pen played 
    the fiddle, Lord, 

    how 
    it rang, 

    You could 
    hear it 
    talk, 

    you could hear it 
    sing!

      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 🙂

      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.
