I started off in
Dun
C
G
Laoghaire, my back pressed

against an old stone wall
At
G
Martell -o -Taron near
Sammymon
C

Strand, he said it was the

centre of the world
G

That's where the great adventure started,

though it's not strictly his native tongue.
C
G
And many have tried since this tall,
C
G
skinny man had penned a paper, and confused and delighted
C
and disturbed and excited everyone.

The enormous country
C
just couldn't hold him,
Oscar

Wilde,
Samuel
Beckett,
Yeats,

Swift,
Edna

He travelled all round
C
Europe, pursued by death
G
Found his grave out in
Switzerland
C
G
In a land fit for exiles,
C
G
where in 1941 the light was at last shut out from his eyes.
C
G
I asked at the hotel,
C
they told me to go to the train station.
G
At the train station they
told me to go to information.
C
G
And information told me all about a zoo
C
G
and a beautiful view of the city.
C
G
On the way I saw a dog
as small as a mouse.
C
G
I saw a dog as big as a house.
I saw a puppet playing
C
Lucille by
Little
G
Richard in a market square
And hundreds of black and
C
G
white ballroom dancers
Whirling sporadically and magnetically
C
G
in a shop window
C
G
On the way I stopped off in a bar or cafe
C
G
Full of all these beautiful black clothes,
strange stone people
C
Playing dice and backgam
G
mon round splintered tables
C
G
An archist literature on the floor,
C
expressionist arts on the walls
G
Death metal music raging from
C
a cracked speaker in the corner
D
Told them I was looking for
C
James, looking for
James

I finally found his grave high on a hill just beside
G
the zoo with a beautiful view of the
city.
C
G
First I saw the statue, the spectacle,
C
G
the slicked back hair, the fiery, wiry, keeper
C
and crucifier of this country's conscience
G
C
and all of our unconscious.
G
C
In an autumn crescent of gold, green and brown,
G
I brushed the fallen leaves off the inscription
C
G
plaque, which was just be side the zoo and
C
G
C
it had such a beautiful view of the city.

Looking for

Pale flowers on his mantle,

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
