    Em

    As a young man,
    E
    A

    I was never one for sitting still at school
    Em

    When I went to
    A

    London town, I was paid to play the fool

    From

    Canary
    C

    Wharf to

    Skibbereen to
    G

    Timbuktu and back again
    C

    You know they're queuing round
    G

    the block to see me
    Em

    Seems everybody has a price,
    A

    alive or in the dirt
    Em

    A hundred pounds and thirty more,
    A

    that's what I was worth
    Em
    C
    Em

    Keep your knives away from me,
    C
    Em
    G

    give my body to the sea
    Em
    C

    I don't care if there's no one there
    G
    C
    Em
    C
    G
    D

    to see me
    C


    Em

    Paid a fisherman to throw me overboard
    A

    But my dying wish he was ignored
    Em

    Stole my body and they
    A

    boiled it to the bone
    Em

    Strung me up, all bones and feet
    A

    Sign the red there underneath
    Em

    Yes,

    Stan's charred has burned
    A

    from the county of

    Tyrone
    C

    So come on, marvel at my size
    G

    And damn your bones

    and damn your eyes
    C

    You and round the block to
    G
    C
    G
    D

    see me
    C
    A


    Em

    So welcome to my house,
    A

    it's a museum for the obscenest
    D
    A

    I can punch off from hell, it's like hello
    Em

    Me and

    Mr.
    A

    Jax, we talk long into the night
    Em

    Jacks was a hunchback,
    A

    he died and was brought back to live out his days
    Em

    Before the inscrutable gaze of 10 ,000 strangers,
    A

    naked as I am tall

    Jimmy
    C
    G

    Chris not have learned to fly, the

    STB burned by the sky
    C
    G

    He went round the block to see me
    C

    We airy walk to

    Skimmery, to
    G

    Timbuktu and back again
    C

    You know they're queuing round the block to
    G

    • 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.”
