    Verse 3
    One 
    morning 
    on 
    the prair
    ie 
    as 

    Jack 
    he 
    rode 
    along 

    A listening 
    to 
    the 
    mocking
    bird 

    a 
    singing 
    a cheerful 
    song 

    Out 
    stepped 
    a band 
    of 
    troopers, 

    Kelly, 
    Davis 
    and 
    Fitzroy 

    They 
    all 
    set 
    out 
    to capture 
    him, 

    the 
    wild 
    colonial 
    boy 

    Verse 4
    "Surrender 
    now 
    Jack 
    Duggan 
    for 

    you see 
    we're three 
    to 
    one 

    Surrender 
    in 
    the Queen's 
    high 
    name 
    for 

    you're 
    a plundering 
    son" 

    Jack pulled 
    two 
    pistols 
    from 
    his 
    belt 

    and he 
    proudly 
    waved 
    them 
    high 

    "I'll 
    fight, 
    but 
    not 
    sur
    render," 
    said 

    the 
    wild co
    lonial 
    boy 

    He 
    Verse 5
    fired 
    a shot 
    at Kelly, 

    which 
    brought 
    him 
    to 
    the ground 

    And 
    turning 
    'round 
    to 
    Dav
    is, 

    he received 
    a 
    fatal 
    wound 

    A 
    bullet 
    pierced 
    his 
    proud 
    young 
    heart 

    from the pistol 
    of 
    Fitzroy 

    And 
    that 
    was 
    how 
    they captured 
    him, 

    the wild 
    colonial 
    boy

      "

      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.

      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.
