    I'd 
    rather have 
    roses 
    than 
    goats 

    had 
    to get 
    back 
    to 

    Belfast 

    City 

    Where 
    the 
    jeeps 
    are 
    green 

    and the 
    girls 
    are 
    pretty 

    Lon
    don 
    time 
    been a 
    get 
    -me -dime 

    Got
    ta 
    get 
    out before 

    the leaves 
    turn 
    brown 

    You 
    and 
    me 
    both 
    heading 
    north 

    Back
    door 
    drifters 
    on 
    an 
    exiles 
    course 

    Bel
    fast 
    city 

    But 
    it 
    could 
    be 
    anywhere 

    Where 
    birds 
    of 
    passage 

    Are 
    flying 
    through 
    the 
    air

    Bird
    of 
    passage 

    Leaving 
    no

    No

    no 
    number, 
    no

    And 
    no need 
    to

    Oh 
    no, 
    to

    The 
    marching 
    band 
    plays 

    snare

    tirades 

    While 

    Mother

    Ireland 
    sways 
    like 
    a strip
    per 
    on stage 

    And 
    the

    mix 
    religious 
    drinks 

    With 
    a twist 
    of 
    the

    they nicked 

    From all 
    the 

    Old 

    Testament 
    plagues 

    You 
    and me 
    both, 
    staying

    I'm 
    telling 
    you

    be
    st 

    Well, 
    everything 

    American 
    is 
    on 
    sale 
    because 
    it 

    happened 
    in 
    movie 
    so 
    long 
    ago 

    Up 
    and 
    down 
    the 
    women 
    go, 

    talk
    ing 
    about 
    the cinema 
    on 
    a sandy 
    road 

    You 
    and 
    me 
    know, 
    being 
    born 
    here, 
    wan
    na 
    leave, 

    it's like 
    learning 
    how 
    to 
    breathe 

    For 
    spurts 
    of 
    passage, 

    leaving 
    no 
    forwarding 
    address 

    Oh, 
    me 
    in 
    my 
    passport 
    suit 

    And 
    you 
    in your 
    non 
    -political 
    party 
    dress 






    I'll 
    meet 
    you at 
    the clock 

    down 
    by 
    the docks 

    Where the 
    birds 
    swoop 
    down 

    from 
    their 
    parking 

    You 
    an
    me both, 
    driven 
    so 
    close, 

    the pillar 
    was 
    our pillar, 
    on 
    the coast, 
    our 
    post. 

    For 
    as 
    birds 
    of 
    passage, 

    leaving 
    no 
    ad
    dress. 


    Birds 
    of 
    passage, 

    we're 
    leaving 
    all 
    four 
    within 
    draft 

    Oh, 
    when 
    we 
    fly 
    this 
    close, 

    I can 
    almost 
    feel 
    your, 
    your 
    breath 

    Flying 
    from 
    the face 
    of 
    failure 

    right 
    into 
    suc
    cess 

    I've 
    enough 
    of 
    no 
    today, 

    no 
    tomorrow, 
    no 
    forever 

    Don't 
    they even 
    know 
    the 

    meaning of 
    the 
    word 
    yes? 

    Too 
    much 
    no 
    today, 

    no 
    tomorrow, 
    no 
    forever 

    Don't 
    they 
    even 
    know the 
    meaning 

    of 
    the word 
    yes? 

    They should 
    try 
    a little 
    home 
    time, 

    little 
    home 
    time 
    tenderness 

    We'll 
    have bruises, 
    we'll 
    have gums, 
    we'll 
    have more 
    of it, 

    we'll 
    have sweeper
    s too, 
    we'll 
    go 
    wild. 

    Up 
    to the point 
    when 
    slice, 
    or 
    when he 
    slices, 

    or 
    when 
    we 
    all get 
    ground break 
    and 
    discover 
    it.

      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

      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 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.
