    In 
    the year 
    of 
    our 
    Lord, 

    eighteen 
    hundred 
    and 
    six, 

    We 
    set 
    sail 
    from 
    the 
    Coal 
    Quay 
    of Cork 

    We 
    were sailing 
    away 

    with 
    a cargo 
    of 
    bricks 

    For 
    the grand 
    City 
    Hall 
    in 
    New 
    York 

    We'd 
    an 
    elegant 
    craft, 

    it 
    was 
    rigged 
    'fore 
    and 
    aft 

    And 
    how 
    the trade 
    winds 
    drove 
    her 

    She 
    had 
    twenty- 
    three 
    masts 
    and 

    she stood 
    several 
    blasts 

    And 
    they 
    called 
    her 
    the 
    Irish 
    Rover

    Verse 2
    There 
    was 
    Barney 
    Magee 
    from 

    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the Lee 

    There 
    was 
    Hogan 
    from 
    County 
    Tyr
    one 

    There 
    was 
    Johnny 
    McGurk who 

    was 
    scared 
    stiff 
    of 
    work 

    And 
    a chap 
    from 
    Westmeath 

    named 
    Malone 

    There 
    was Slugger 
    O'Toole 

    who 
    was 
    drunk 
    as 
    rule 

    And 
    fighting 
    Bill 
    Tracy 
    from 
    Dover

    And 
    your 
    man 
    Mick 
    McCann, from 

    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the Ban

    Was 
    the skipper 
    on 
    the 
    Ir
    ish 
    Rover 

    Verse 3
    We 
    had 
    one 
    million 
    bags 

    of 
    the best 
    Sligo 
    rags 

    We 
    had two 
    million 
    barrells 
    of 
    bone 

    We 
    had 
    three 
    million 
    bales 
    of 

    old 
    nanny 
    goats' tails 

    We 
    had 
    four 
    million 
    barrell
    s of 
    stone 

    We 
    had five 
    million

    million 
    dogs 

    And 
    seven 
    million 
    barrells 
    of 
    porter 

    We 
    had 
    eight 
    million 
    sides 
    of 

    old 
    blind 
    horses' hides 

    In 
    the 
    hold 
    of 
    the 
    Irish 
    Rover 

    Verse 4
    We 
    had 
    sailed 
    seven 
    years 

    when 
    the measles 
    broke 
    out 

    And 
    our 
    ship 
    lost 
    her way 
    in 
    a fog 

    And 
    the whole 
    of the 
    crew 
    was 

    reduced 
    down 
    to 
    two 

    'Twas 
    my
    self 
    and 
    the 

    captain's 
    old 
    dog 

    Then 
    the 
    ship 
    struck 
    a rock, 

    oh, Lord 
    what 
    a shock

    And 
    nearly 
    tumbled 
    over 

    Turned 
    nine 
    times 
    around 
    then 
    the 

    poor 
    old 
    dog 
    was 
    drowned 

    I'm 
    the 
    last 
    of 
    the 
    Irish 
    Rover

    • 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.
