    Once 
    was a 
    gentle 
    maiden, 

    But 
    now 
    am 
    spent, 
    worn-out 
    wid
    ow, 

    My 
    consort 
    strongly 
    plowing 
    the waves 

    Over 
    the hills 
    and 
    far 
    away. 

    Verse 9
    He 
    is 
    my 
    hero, 
    my 
    gallant 
    darling, 

    He is 
    my 
    caesar, 
    gallant 
    darling; 

    I've 
    found 
    neither 
    rest 
    nor 
    fortune 

    Since 
    my gallant 
    darling 
    went 
    far away. 

    Verse 10
    Every 
    day 
    I am 
    constantly 

    enduring 
    grief, 

    Weeping 
    nitterly 
    and 
    shedding 
    tears, 

    Because 
    my lively 
    lad 
    has 
    left 
    me 

    And 
    no 
    news 
    is 
    told 
    of 
    him 
    alas!

    And 
    the 
    sound 
    of hounds 
    is not 

    heard 
    in 
    nut-tree 
    woods 

    Nor 
    summer 
    morning 
    in 
    misty 
    glen 

    Since 
    my 
    lively 
    boy 
    went 
    away 
    from 
    me. 

    Noble, 
    proud

    Youth

    gloom, 

    of 
    pleasant 
    countenance, 

    swift-
    moving 
    fist, 
    nimble 
    in a 
    fight, 

    Slaying 
    the enemy 
    and 

    smiting 
    the 
    strong. 

    Verse 13

    Let 
    strain 
    be 
    played 

    on 
    mu
    sical 
    harps, 

    And let 
    many 
    quarts 
    be 
    filled 
    on 
    the 
    table, 

    With 
    high 
    spirit, 
    without 
    fault, 

    without 
    gloom, 

    That 
    my 
    lion 
    may 
    receive 

    long 
    life 
    and 
    health. 

    Gallant

      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

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
