    till night 

    And, 
    if a

    He was 
    ready to 
    fight

    Verse 4
    Old Griffith 
    he 
    stood here 

    The crabby 
    old 
    Drake 

    And a 
    hand in 
    the 
    racket 

    We thought

    ake 

    But a

    boys 

    Come 
    and 
    took him 
    away 

    "Becripes" said

    You can 
    talk of your 
    fashions 

    And styles 
    to 
    be 
    seen 

    But there's 
    none like 
    Nel
    lie 

    The cook 
    of nine
    teen 

    She's 
    short, 

    thick and 
    stout 

    Without a mistake 

    And we 
    all 
    call her Nellie 

    The 
    belle of 
    Long Lake 

    Derry,

    down, 
    down, 
    derry down 

    Derry, 
    down, 
    down, 

    down, derry 
    down 

    Well, my 
    song's 
    about over, 

    adieu 
    to you 
    all 

    Christmas 
    is 
    coming and 
    I'm 

    Going 
    to Glens 
    Falls 
    and, 
    when I 
    get there 

    I'll 
    go 
    out on a spree 

    "Cause when 
    I get 
    drunk, boys 

    The devil's 
    in 
    me 

    Derry, 
    down, 
    down, 
    down, 
    derry 
    down 

    Derry, 
    down, 
    down, 
    down, 
    derry 
    down

      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.
