Verse 1
Am

The winters past and gone

and the leaves are growing green
G

And many are the things I've heard
D

and many I have seen
Am

One cold winter's night
D
Am

when walking all alone I've been
C
D
E
Am

I spied a bunny boy, young but growing

And as he walked along the way,

the wind all in his hair,
G
D

An old man followed after with his daughter,


young and fair.
Am

And as she passed by me,
D
Am

oh, she cried aloud in sad despair,
C
D

About that bonny boy,
E
Am

young but growing.

Oh father, oh father,
A
Am

you have done me much wrong.
G

You've wed me to a boy
D

when you know he is too young.
Am

Oh, have patience, my daughter,
D
Am

for you know it won't be very long.
C
D

You know the boy is young,
E
Am

but he's growing.

Oh, we'll send your love

away to school,

all for a year or two.
G

And maybe in the meantime
D

he'll come to do for you
Am

And we'll place on his finger
D
Am

some ring of a golden hue
C
D
E
Am

To let the ladies know that he's mar ried

She went up to the school,

and she looked all over the wall.
G

Saw four -and -twenty gentlemen

playing hard at ball.
Am

She called for her own love,
D
Am

but they wouldn't let him leave at all.
C

They said, the boy is young,

So at the age of fourteen,

So now her love is dead,

and in his grave do lie.

The green grass do grow over him

so very, very high
Am

And this poor girl can mourn him
D
Am

until the very day she dies
C

while he's growing

  • 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.
