    • Verse 1
    I 
    wished 
    I 
    had 
    you 

    in 
    Carrick
    fergus, 

    Only 
    for 
    nights 
    in 
    Ballygrand, 

    I 
    would swim 
    over 
    the 
    deepest 
    ocean, 

    The 
    deepest 
    ocean 
    to be 
    by 
    your 
    side. 

    But 
    the 
    sea 
    is 
    Verse 2
    wide 
    and 
    I 
    can't 
    swim 
    over 

    And 
    neither 
    have 
    I 
    wings 
    to 
    fly. 

    I 
    wish 
    I could 
    find 
    me 
    a 
    handy 
    boatman 

    To 
    ferry 
    me 
    over 
    to 
    my 
    love 
    an
    d die. 

    Verse 3
    My 
    childhood 
    days 
    bring 

    back 
    sad 
    re
    flections 

    Of happy 
    days 
    so 
    long 
    ago. 

    My 
    boy
    hood 
    friends 
    and 

    my 
    own 
    relations. 

    Have 
    all 
    passed 
    on 
    like 
    the 
    melting 
    snow. 

    Verse 4
    So 
    I'll 
    spend 
    my 
    days 
    in 

    end
    less 
    roving, 

    Soft 
    is 
    the 
    grass 
    and 
    my 
    bed 
    is 
    free. 

    Oh 
    to 
    be 
    home 
    now 
    in 
    Carrick
    fergus, 

    On 
    the long 
    road 
    down 
    to 
    the salty 
    sea. 

    Verse 5
    And 
    in 
    Kilkenny 
    it 
    is 
    reported 

    On 
    marble 
    stone 
    there 
    as 
    black 
    as 
    ink, 

    With 
    gold 
    and 
    silver 
    I 

    did 
    support 
    her 

    But I'll 
    sing 
    no 
    more 
    now 

    till 
    I 
    get 
    a 
    drink. 

    I'm 
    drunk 
    today 
    Verse 6
    and 
    I'm 
    rarely 
    sober, 

    A 
    handsome 
    rover 
    from 
    town 
    to 
    town. 

    Oh 
    but I 
    am 
    sick 
    now and 
    my 

    days 
    are 
    numbered 

    Come 
    all 
    ye 
    young 
    men 

    and 
    lay 
    me 
    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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
