    home, 
    his 
    corpse 
    to 
    wake 

    Rolled

    up 
    in 
    nice 
    clean 
    sheet 

    And 
    laided

    upon 
    the 
    bed 

    bottle 
    of 
    whiskey 
    at

    Verse 4
    Then 
    Peggy 
    O'Connor 
    took 
    up 
    the 
    job 

    Biddy 
    she 
    says 
    you're 
    wrong 
    I'm 
    sure 

    Biddy 
    then 
    gave 
    her 
    belt 
    on 
    the 
    gob 

    And 
    left 
    her 
    sprawling

    at 
    him 

    It 
    missed 
    him 
    falling

    The 
    liquor 
    scattered 
    over 
    Tim

    see 
    how 
    he 
    rises 

    Timothy 
    rising 
    from 
    the 
    bed 

    Whirl 
    your 
    whiskey 
    around 
    like

      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.
