That parted my true love and I,

He sent fifty of his brisk dragoons
to carry me back to my own country
D
It is not the frost that freezes fell
G
D
G
Nor blowing snows in clemency.
D
Tis not such cold that makes me cry,
G
D
But my love's heart's grown cold to me.
G
C
You think that I am like yourself,
G
D
G
And lie with each one that I see,
Oh, but I do swear by heaven's high
C
G
I never loved a man but thee
D
And had I wished when first I kissed
G
D
That love had been so ill to win
G
I'd have locked my heart in
D
a cage of gold
G
D
G
I'd have sealed it with a silver pin
C
Oh, waily, waily, love is bonnie
G
It's like a flower when first it's new
Oh, but love grows old and waxes cold
C
G
And fades away like morning dew

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
