    Eileen 


    Verse 1
    Poor 
    old 
    Johnnie 
    Ray 

    Soun
    ded 
    sad 
    upon 
    the 
    radio 

    Moved 
    million 
    hearts 
    in 
    mono 

    Our 
    mothers 
    cried 

    Sang 
    along, 
    who'd 
    blame 
    them? 

    Pre-chorus 1
    You've 
    grown 
    (you're 
    grown 
    up) 

    So 
    grown 
    (so 
    grown 
    up) 

    Now 
    must 
    say 
    more 
    than 
    ever 

    (Come 
    on, 
    Eileen) 

    Too-ra-loo-ra 

    too- 
    raa- 
    loo- 
    rye- 
    ay 

    And 
    we 
    can 
    sing 
    just 
    like 
    our 
    fathers 

    Chorus 1
    Come 
    on,

    Oh,

    Come 
    on, 
    Eileen 


    Verse 2
    These 
    people 
    'round 
    here 

    Were 
    beaten 
    down, 

    eyes 
    sunk 
    in 
    smoke-dried 
    face 

    They're 
    so 
    re
    signed 
    to 
    what 
    their 
    fate 
    is 

    Pre-chorus 2
    But 
    not 
    us 
    (no 
    never) 

    But 
    not 
    us 
    (not 
    ever) 

    We 
    are 
    far 
    too 
    young 
    and 
    clever 

    (Remember) 

    Too-ra-loo-ra 

    too- 
    raa- 
    loo- 
    rye- 
    ay 

    And 
    you'll 
    hum 
    this 
    tune 
    for
    ever

    • 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.
