    • Verse 1
    With the 
    Campbells 
    and 

    McDon
    alds 

    It was in their 
    blood 
    to fight 

    With each 
    passing 
    generation 
    it 

    Became 
    a mans 
    birth
    right 

    But 
    they always 
    had 
    a common 
    enemy 

    Nev
    er would 
    the 
    English 
    crown 

    Take Scottish 
    independency 

    Verse 2
    Oh the 
    battles 
    rage 
    in 

    Glasgow 
    and majestic 
    Edinburgh 

    And 
    they 
    came 
    with war 
    machines 
    and 

    In the 
    highlands 
    shots 
    were heard 

    Then 
    the 
    people 
    rose 
    in union 
    and 

    The 
    forces 
    moved 
    as one 

    And 
    the 
    Clans 
    all 
    joined 
    together 
    to 

    See 
    English 
    on 
    the 
    run 

    And 
    in 
    a tiny 
    croft 
    in 
    Clachan 
    sat 
    a 
    mother 

    Peg 
    Macdunn 

    And she 
    sewed 
    the cords 
    together 
    for 

    Her 
    16 year 
    old son 

    And 
    she cried 
    as 
    he 
    was 
    leaving, 
    donâ 

    And 
    come 
    you 
    back 
    to Clachan 
    when 

    The 
    English 
    are 
    all 
    done 

    Now 
    Rob 
    Macdunn was 
    ready 
    as 

    The 
    left 
    the croft 
    behind 

    And 
    he joined 
    the highland 
    pipe 
    brigade 

    With 
    one thing 
    on 
    his 
    mind 

    That to 
    keep 
    his home 
    and 
    freedom 
    he 

    Must 
    face 
    it 
    like 
    a man 

    So 
    he marched 
    in 
    common 
    union 
    with 

    His 
    musket 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    And 
    he 
    met the 
    hill 
    of 
    battle 

    In 
    the high
    lands 
    and 
    the low 

    And 
    the 
    reason 
    for 
    the 
    fighting 
    long 

    Within 
    his 
    blood 
    to know 

    In 
    the 
    middle 
    of 
    the rumble 

    He 
    was 
    for
    ward 
    gaining 
    ground 

    And 
    the bag
    pipes 
    still 
    were 
    piping 
    as 

    The 
    dead 
    lay 
    all 
    around 

    Then 
    he 
    moved 
    in 
    no 
    direction 
    till 

    He 
    faced 
    the winds 
    of North 

    And 
    he boldly 
    climbed 
    the 
    highlands 

    Further 
    from 
    the Firth 
    of Forth 

    Then one 
    freezing, 
    blowing 
    morning 

    Came 
    the 
    cry 
    of 
    Peg 
    Macdunn 

    Back 
    to my 
    croft 
    in Clachan 
    God 

    Has 
    sent 
    me home 
    my son 

    And 
    in 
    an
    other 
    croft 

    in Clachan 
    cross 

    The way 
    from 
    the 
    Macdunnâ 

    With 
    her 
    face 
    against 
    the 
    window 

    Sat 
    a young 
    girl, 
    tired 
    and 
    worn 

    And 
    she smiled 
    a 
    secret 
    knowing 
    as 

    She 
    breathed 
    a prayer 
    alone: 

    "I 
    thank 
    thee, Lord 

    For 
    bringing 
    Rob 
    Macdunn back 

    safely 
    home" 

    Verse 3

    Back 
    to 
    the croft 
    in Clachan 

    He 
    re
    turned 
    to 
    peace 
    again 

    He 
    had gone 
    a boy 
    of 
    16 

    But he 
    came 
    back 
    as 
    a man

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      “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

      Rose the Black Cat

      “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 🙂”

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      “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!!!”

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      “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.

      Caleb Schafli

      “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.”

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      “I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
