    Verse 1
    It 
    was 
    Christmas 
    Eve, 
    babe 

    In 
    the 
    drunk 
    tank 

    An 
    old 
    man 
    said 
    to 
    me, 

    won't 
    see 
    another 
    one 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    sang 
    song 

    The 
    rare 
    old 
    mountain 
    Dew 

    turned 
    my 
    face 
    away 

    And 
    dreamed 
    about 
    you 

    Verse 2
    Got 
    on 
    lucky 
    one 

    Came 
    in

    one 

    I've 
    got 
    fee
    ling 

    This 
    year's 
    for 
    me 
    and 
    you 

    So 
    happy 
    Christ
    mas 

    love 
    you 
    baby 

    can

    time 

    When 
    all 
    our 
    dreams 
    come 
    true 


    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    They've 
    got 
    cars 
    big 
    as 
    bars 

    They've 
    got 
    rivers 
    of 
    gold 

    But 
    the 
    wind 
    goes 
    right 
    through 
    you 

    It's 
    no 
    place 
    for 
    the 
    old 

    When 
    you 
    first 
    took 
    my 
    hand 

    On 
    cold 
    Christmas 
    Eve 

    You 
    promised 
    me 

    Broadway 
    was 
    waiting 
    for 
    me 

    You 
    were 
    handsome 

    You 
    were 
    pretty 

    Queen 
    of 
    New 
    York 
    City 

    When 
    the 
    band 
    finished 
    playing 

    They 
    howled 
    out 
    for 
    more 

    Si
    natra 
    was 
    swinging 

    All 
    the 
    drunks 
    they 
    were 
    singing 

    We 
    kissed 
    on 
    corner 

    Then 
    danced 
    through 
    the 
    night 

    Chorus 1
    The 
    boys 
    of 
    the 
    NY
    PD 
    choir 

    Were 
    singing 
    "Galway 
    Bay" 

    And 
    the 
    bells 
    were 
    ringing 
    out

    Verse 4
    You're 
    bum 

    You're 
    punk 

    You're 
    an 
    old 
    slut 
    on 
    junk 

    Lying 
    there 
    almost 
    dead 
    on 
    drip 
    in 
    that 
    bed 

    You 
    scumbag, 
    you 
    maggot 

    You 
    cheap 
    lousy 
    faggot 

    Happy

    arse 

    pray 
    God 
    it's 
    our 
    last

    PD 
    choir 

    Still 
    singing 
    "Galway 
    Bay" 

    And 
    the 
    bells 
    were 
    ringing 
    out 

    Interlude 3
    For 
    Christmas 
    day 





    Verse 5
    could 
    have 
    been 
    someone 

    Well 
    so 
    could 
    anyone 

    You 
    took 
    my 
    dreams 
    from 
    me 

    When 
    first 
    found 
    you 

    kept 
    them 
    with 
    me, 
    babe 

    put 
    them 
    with 
    my 
    own 

    Can't 
    make 
    it 
    all 
    alone 

    I've 
    built 
    my 
    dreams 
    a
    round 
    you

    Bay" 

    And 
    the 
    bells 
    were 
    ringing 
    out

    • 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.
