    • Verse 1
    While 
    goin' 
    for 
    a stroll 
    one 
    fine 

    summer
    's eve 

    My thirst 
    I 
    decided 
    to 
    quench 

    I rambled 
    around 
    'till 
    I came 
    to 
    the 

    Docks, 
    and a pub 
    called 
    the Iran 
    Wench 

    When 
    I stepped 
    through 
    the door 

    I saw 
    a man 
    on 
    a stool 

    I man 
    I'd 
    seen 
    never 
    before 

    He 
    had fistfuls 
    of cash 
    that 

    he said 
    he 
    had earned, 

    While 
    he sailed 
    around 

    Ireland's 
    shore 

    Verse 2
    I ordered 
    a 
    sup' and 
    a 

    sup' for 
    your man 

    And he told 
    me strong 

    tales 
    with 
    great pride 

    And 
    I walked 
    out 
    the door 
    with 

    the courage 
    of 
    drink 

    To sail 
    on 
    the next 
    morning's 
    tide 

    Well 
    the sum
    mer 
    breeze 

    took 
    us far 
    from 
    the land 

    As 
    we sailed 
    to 
    the 
    tropical 
    heat 

    When 
    the captain 
    roared, 

    "Let 
    the skull 
    and crossbones 
    fly, 

    And 
    we'll hunt 
    down 

    the admirals 
    fleet" 

    I thought 
    I'd search 
    the 
    horizon 
    Verse 3

    And sail 
    thru 
    the night 
    'till 

    I'm sailing 
    'round 
    Ireland's 
    shore 

    O- Oh 

    Sailing 
    'round 
    Ireland's 

    Sail
    ing 
    'round 
    Ire
    land's 

    Sailing 
    'round Ireland's 

    shore 

    Verse 4

    Well 
    I thought 
    if i jumped 
    I 
    would drown 

    in 
    this place 

    So I cheered 
    with 
    a grimacing 

    face 

    I sharpened 
    my blade 
    like 
    a man 

    filled 
    with hate 

    And a snarling 
    old sea- 
    dog's 
    grace 

    Well 
    I cursed 
    on 
    your drink 

    though 
    it does 
    make 
    me think 

    Of po
    etry 
    and music 
    galore 

    But it evens 
    the score 
    with 

    a 
    sore 
    headed 
    roar 

    Far 
    from sail
    ing 
    round Ireland's 
    shore 

    O- 
    Verse 5
    Oh 

    Sail
    ing 
    'round 
    Ireland's 

    Sailing 
    'round 
    Ire
    land's 

    Sailing 
    'round 
    Ireland's 

    shore 

    Verse 6

    From 
    my evil 
    company 

    And 
    booty 
    in tons 

    I snuck 
    off 
    while 
    all were 
    asleep

    Oh 
    'n 
    I stole 
    a skiff 
    with 

    the stealth 
    of 
    a ghost 

    I filled 
    it 
    four 
    chests 
    deep 

    Well I sailed 
    along 
    the coast 

    'till 
    I hid 
    in a cave 

    By fire
    light 
    my treasures 
    to hoard 

    Where 
    I dreamed 
    of 
    a quest 

    to 
    return 
    finely 
    dressed 

    And 
    to sail 
    around 
    Ireland's 
    shores 

    Well 
    I heard 
    a voice 
    An
    d it spooked 
    me 
    for 
    Verse 7

    sure 

    As it echoed 
    all 
    'round the 
    cave 

    It said 
    "I'm 
    not dead 
    and you'll pay 

    with your 
    head 

    You scoundrel 
    and dirty 

    knave" 

    It said "Show 
    me 
    daylight, 

    give 
    me a 
    fair fight, 

    Let 
    me die 
    by 
    the sword 
    in a duel 

    For 
    I wear 
    on 
    my chest 
    not just 

    the 
    ad
    miral's 
    crest 

    But 
    the High 
    King 
    of Ireland's 

    crown 
    jewels 

    I thought 
    I'd search 
    Verse 8
    the 
    horizon 

    And sail 
    thru 
    the night 
    'till 

    I'm sailing 
    'round 
    Ireland's 
    shore 

    O- 
    Oh 

    Sail
    ing 
    'round 
    Ireland's 

    Sailing 
    'round 
    Ire
    land's 

    Sailing 
    'round 
    Ireland's 
    shore 

    Interlude 1



    I thought 
    I'd search 
    the 
    horizon 
    Verse 9

    And sail 
    thru 
    the night

      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.
