    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", 

    Verse 2
    They 
    knew Uncle 
    Pen was 
    ready to 
    go. 

    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 

    Interlude 1
    could hear 
    it sing! 




    Verse 3
    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 the 

    Verse 4
    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, 

    Interlude 2
    you could hear 
    it sing 




    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, 


    Verse 6
    And he knew it was 
    time for 
    him to 
    go. 

    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 

    Interlude 3
    could hear it 
    sing 




    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

      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.
