    • Verse 1
    I 
    sat 
    within 
    the valley 
    green, 

    I sat 
    me 
    with 
    my true 
    love 

    My sad 
    heart 
    strove 
    the two 
    between, 

    the old 
    love 
    and 
    the new 
    love 

    The old 
    for 
    her, 
    the 
    new 
    that made 

    me think 
    on Ireland 
    dearly 

    While soft 
    the wind blew 
    down 
    the glen 

    and 
    shook the 
    golden 
    barley 

    Verse 2
    'Twas hard 
    the woeful 
    words to 
    frame 

    to 
    break the 
    ties 
    that bound 
    us 

    But 
    harder 
    still to 
    bear 
    the 
    shame 
    of 

    for
    eign chains 
    around 
    us 

    And so 
    I said, 
    "The 
    mountain 
    glen 

    I'll seek 
    at 
    morning 
    early 

    And join 
    the bold 
    united 
    men, 

    while soft 
    winds 
    shake 
    the barley" 

    Verse 3
    While sad 
    I kissed 
    away 
    her 
    tears, 

    my fond 
    arm
    s round 
    her flinging 

    The foeman's 
    shot 
    burst 
    on our ears 

    from out 
    the wildwood 
    ringing 

    A bullet 
    pierced 
    my true 
    love's 
    side 

    in life's 
    young spring 
    so 
    early 

    And on 
    my breast 
    in blood 
    she died 
    while 

    soft winds 
    shook 
    the barley 

    Verse 4
    But blood 
    for blood 
    without 
    re
    morse 

    I've 
    taken 
    at 
    Oulart Hollow 

    And laid 
    my true love's 
    clay cold 
    corpse 

    where I 
    full soon 
    may 
    fol
    low 

    As round 
    her grave 
    I wander 
    drear, 
    noon, 

    night 
    and morning 
    early 

    With breaking 
    heart 
    when 
    e'er I hear 

    the wind 
    that shakes 
    the barley

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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.
