    Verse 1
    Thinking 
    of 
    you 

    while 
    out 
    for 
    a ramble 

    Down 
    by 
    a cold 
    frosty 
    stream 

    Set 
    down 
    on a 
    bed 
    of hemlocks 

    and 
    primroses 

    And 
    gently 
    I 
    fell 
    into 
    a dream 

    Verse 2

    I 
    dreamed 
    I 
    saw 
    a pretty 
    fair 
    maiden 

    Such 
    beauty 
    I'd 
    never 
    saw 
    before 

    Her 
    dress 
    was 
    bound 
    round 

    with 
    hemlocks 
    and 
    primroses 

    So 
    green 
    was 
    the mantel 

    she 
    wore 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Her 
    hair 
    was 
    of 
    a 
    dark 
    brown 
    color 

    Her 
    teeth 
    was 
    as 
    ivory 
    so 
    white 

    Her 
    eyes 
    they 
    shined 
    like 

    sparking 
    diamonds 

    Or stars 
    than shine 
    on 
    a cold 
    frosty 
    night 

    Verse 4

    I 
    drew 
    her 
    near 
    then 
    I 
    awakened 

    With 
    two 
    empty 
    arm
    s 

    and you 
    on my 
    mind 

    Heaven 
    seemed 
    so 
    near 

    while 
    I 
    was 
    dreaming 

    It 
    hurts 
    to know 
    you 
    left 
    me 
    behind

      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.

      Well-Designed App

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
