    • Verse 1
    The winters 
    past 
    and gone 

    and the 
    leaves are growing 
    green 

    And 
    many are 
    the things I've 
    heard 

    and 
    many I 
    have seen 

    One 
    cold winter's 
    night 

    when walking 
    all 
    alone 
    I've been 

    I spied 
    a 
    bunny 
    boy, 
    young 
    but growing 

    And 
    as he 
    walked along 
    the way, 

    the wind 
    all in 
    his hair, 

    An old 
    man followed 
    after 
    with his 
    daughter, 


    young and 
    fair. 

    And as 
    she passed 
    by me, 

    oh, 
    she 
    cried 
    aloud in 
    sad despair, 

    About 
    that 
    bonny 
    boy, 

    young 
    but growing. 

    Oh father, 
    oh 
    father, 

    you have 
    done me 
    much wrong. 

    You've wed 
    me to 
    a boy 

    when you 
    know 
    he is 
    too young. 

    Oh, 
    have pa
    tience, 
    my daughter, 

    for you 
    know it 
    won't 
    be very 
    long. 

    You know 
    the boy 
    is young, 

    but 
    he's 
    growing. 

    Oh, 
    we'll send your 
    love 

    away to 
    school, 

    all for 
    a year 
    or two. 

    And 
    maybe 
    in the 
    meantime 

    he'll 
    come 
    to do for 
    you 

    And 
    we'll 
    place on 
    his finger 

    some 
    ring 
    of 
    a golden 
    hue 

    To 
    let 
    the ladies 
    know 
    that 
    he's 
    mar
    ried 

    She 
    went up to 
    the school, 

    and she looked 
    all over 
    the wall. 

    Saw four 
    -and -twenty 
    gentlemen 

    play
    ing hard 
    at 
    ball. 

    She 
    called 
    for her 
    own love, 

    but they 
    wouldn't 
    let him 
    leave 
    at all. 

    They 
    said, 
    the boy is 
    young, 

    but 
    he's 
    growing. 

    So 
    at the age 
    of fourteen, 

    well, 
    he was a 
    married man. 

    And at the 
    age of 
    fifteen, 

    he 
    was father 
    of 
    a son. 

    At 
    the 
    age 
    of sixteen, 

    o 'er his 
    grave 

    the grass 
    was growing 
    green. 

    Cruel 
    death 
    had put an 

    en
    d to 
    his growing. 

    So 
    now her 
    love 
    is dead, 

    and 
    in his 
    grave do 
    lie. 

    The 
    green grass 
    do grow 
    over him 

    so 
    very, 
    very high 

    And 
    this 
    poor girl 
    can 
    mourn him 

    until 
    the 
    very day 
    she 
    dies 

    A 
    -watch
    ing o 
    'er 
    his son 

    while 
    he's 
    growing

      "

      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.
