    Good 
    evening, 
    all 
    my 
    jolly 
    lads, 

    I'm 
    glad 
    to

    If 
    you'll 
    gather 
    all 
    around 
    me, 

    now, 
    the story 
    will 
    tell 

    For 
    I've 
    got 
    situation 
    and 

    begorrah 
    an
    begob 

    I can 
    whisper 
    all 
    the 
    weekly 

    wage 
    of 
    nineteen 
    bob 

    'Tis 
    twelve 
    months 
    come 
    October 
    Verse 2

    since 
    left 
    me 
    native 
    home 

    After 
    helping 
    them 
    Killarney 
    boys 

    to 
    bring 
    the 
    harvest 
    down 

    But 
    now 
    wear 
    the 
    gansey 
    and 

    around 
    me 
    waist 
    belt 

    I'm 
    the 
    gaffer 
    of 
    the 
    squad 
    that 

    makes 
    the 
    hot 
    asphalt 

    Well, 
    we 
    laid 
    it 
    in 
    Verse 3
    hollows 

    and 
    we 
    laid 
    it 
    in 
    the 
    flat 

    And 
    if it 
    doesn't 
    last 
    forever, 

    sure 
    I swear, 
    I'll 
    eat 
    me 
    hat 

    Well, 
    I've 
    wandered 
    up 
    and 
    down 

    the 
    world 
    and 
    sure 
    never 
    felt 

    Any 
    surface 
    that 
    was 
    equal 

    to 
    the 
    hot 
    asphalt 

    Verse 4
    The 
    other 
    night 
    copper 
    comes 
    and he 
    says 
    to 
    me, 

    McGuire 

    Would you 
    kindly 
    let 
    me 
    light 
    me 
    pipe 

    down 
    at 
    your 
    boiler 
    fire? 

    And he 
    planks 
    himself 
    right 
    down 
    in front, 

    with 
    hobnails 
    up, 
    till 
    late 

    And 
    says 
    I, 
    me 
    decent 
    man, 

    you'd 
    better 
    go 
    and 
    find 
    your 
    bait 

    He 
    ups 
    and 
    yells, 
    I'm 
    Verse 5
    down 
    on 
    you, 

    I'm 
    up 
    to 
    all 
    yer 
    pranks 

    Don't 
    know 
    you 
    for 
    traitor 

    from 
    the 
    Tipperary 
    ranks? 

    Boys, 
    hit 
    straight 
    from 
    the shoulder 

    and 
    gave 
    him 
    such 
    belt 

    That I 
    knocked 
    him 
    into 
    the 

    boiler 
    full 
    of 
    hot 
    asphalt 

    Well, 
    we 
    laid 
    it in 
    Verse 6
    hollows 

    and 
    we 
    laid 
    it 
    in 
    the 
    flat 

    And 
    if it 
    doesn't 
    last 
    forever, 

    sure 
    I swear, 
    I'll 
    eat 
    me 
    hat 

    Well, 
    I've 
    wandered 
    up 
    and 
    down 

    the 
    world 
    and 
    sure 
    never 
    felt 

    Any 
    surface 
    that 
    was 
    equal 

    to 
    the 
    hot 
    asphalt 

    Verse 7
    We 
    quickly 
    dragged 
    him 
    out 
    again 

    and we 
    threw 
    him 
    in 
    the 
    tub 

    And with 
    soap 
    and 
    warm 
    water 

    we 
    began 
    to 
    rub 
    and 
    scrub 

    But 
    devil 
    the 
    thing, 

    it 
    hardened 
    and 
    it 
    turned 
    him 
    hard 
    as 
    stone 

    And with 
    every 
    other 
    rub, 

    sure 
    you 
    could 
    hear 
    the 
    copper 
    groan 

    I'm 
    thinking, 
    says 
    O'Reilly, 
    Verse 8

    that he's 
    lookin' 
    like 
    old 
    Nick 

    And 
    burn 
    me 
    if 
    am not 
    inclined 

    to 
    claim 
    him with 
    me 
    pick 

    Now, 
    says 
    I, 

    it 
    would 
    be 
    easier 
    to 
    boil 
    him 
    till 
    he 
    melts 

    And 
    to 
    stir 
    him 
    nice 
    and 

    easy 
    in 
    the 
    hot 
    asphalt 

    Well, 
    we 
    laid 
    it 
    in 
    Verse 9
    hollows 

    and 
    we 
    laid 
    it 
    in 
    the 
    flat 

    And 
    if it 
    doesn't 
    last 
    forever, 

    sure 
    I swear, 
    I'll 
    eat 
    me 
    hat 

    Well, 
    I've 
    wandered 
    up 
    and 
    down 

    the 
    world 
    and 
    sure 
    never 
    felt 

    Any 
    surface 
    that 
    was 
    equal 

    to 
    the 
    hot 
    asphalt 

    Verse 10
    You 
    may 
    talk 
    about 
    yer 
    sailor 
    lads, 

    ballad 
    singers 
    and 
    the 
    rest 

    Your 
    shoe
    makers 
    and 
    your 
    tailors 

    but 
    we 
    please 
    the 
    ladies 
    best 

    The 
    only 
    ones 
    who 
    know 
    the 
    way 

    their 
    flinty 
    hearts 
    to 
    melt 

    Are 
    the 
    lads 
    around 
    the 
    boiler 

    making 
    hot 
    asphalt 

    With 
    rubbing 
    and 
    with 
    Verse 11
    scrubbing, 

    sure 
    caught 
    me 
    death 
    of 
    cold 

    For 
    scientific 
    purposes, 

    me 
    body 
    it 
    was 
    sold 

    In the 
    Kelvin 
    grove 
    museum, 
    me 
    boys, 

    I'm 
    hangin' 
    in 
    me 
    pelt 

    As a 
    monument 
    to 
    the 
    Irish, 

    making 
    hot 
    asphalt 

    Well, 
    we 
    laid 
    it 
    in 
    Verse 12
    hollows 

    and 
    we 
    laid 
    it 
    in 
    the 
    flat 

    And 
    if it 
    doesn't 
    last 
    forever, 

    sure 
    swear, 
    I'll 
    eat 
    me

    Well,

    • 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.
