Lyrics
The hol ly and the i vy, Now both are full well grown.
Of all the trees that are in the wood, The hol ly bears the crown.
Oh, the ris ing of the sun, The run ning of the deer.
The play ing of the mer ry or gan, Sweet sing ing in the quire.
Sweet sing ing in the quire.

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
- It does โ a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
- Can I change the key of "The Holly And The Ivy" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in F, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) โ the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
- Can I slow "The Holly And The Ivy" down to learn the words and chords?
- Yes โ the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
