  • Verse 1
    My 
    name 
    is 
    John 
    O'Reilly 

    And my 
    father 
    worked 
    the fields 

    In 
    the hills 
    of 
    old 
    Kilarny 

    Where 
    helped 
    him 
    turn 
    the wheels 

    My 
    arms 
    grew 
    hard 
    as 
    iron 

    for 
    a boy 
    of 
    17 

    And I 
    used 
    my 
    fists 
    for 
    gambling 

    in those 
    wet 
    Kil
    arny streets 

    Verse 2

    Well 
    the ship 
    left 
    for 
    America 
    and 

    I brought 
    my 
    pack 
    aboard 

    Said 
    goodbye 
    to my 
    dear 
    Ireland 

    said 
    a prayer 
    to my 
    dear 
    Lord 

    fought 
    those 
    sorry 
    guineas 
    in 
    the 

    kitchen 
    they 
    called 
    hell 

    I fought 
    them for 
    their 
    dollar 
    and 
    those 

    guineas 
    paid 
    me 
    well 

    Verse 3
    [Chorus] 
    Fair 
    thee 

    well 
    fair 
    Dover 

    Fair 
    thee 
    well 
    your seasons 
    turn 

    For my 
    pockets 
    will 
    be 
    jingling 

    on 
    the 
    day 
    of my 
    re
    turn 

    The 
    day 
    of my 
    re
    turn 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    fought 
    in New 
    York 
    City 
    and I 

    fought 
    the Jersey 
    shore 

    My 
    gut 
    stayed 
    full 
    of whiskey 
    and my 

    bed stayed 
    full 
    of whores 

    They called 
    my 
    right 
    cannonball 

    and 
    my 
    left 
    they 
    called 
    the same 

    left 
    em' 
    all 
    lyin' 
    half 
    in 

    blood 
    and half 
    in shame 

    Verse 5
    I met 
    a man 
    on 
    '32 and 

    he stuck 
    out 
    his hand 

    And 
    he 
    offered 
    me 
    a thou
    sand 

    if I'd 
    fall 
    before 
    his 
    man 

    I said 
    it could 
    be 
    done 
    but only 

    for 
    another 
    two 

    He smiled 
    at me 
    and 
    nodded 
    as 
    stuck 

    it in 
    my 
    shoe 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 6
    [Chorus] 

    They 

    rang 
    the bell 
    two 

    times 
    before 
    I let 
    him have 
    my 
    nose 

    And I 
    let 
    him work 
    my 
    left 
    until 
    my 

    eye 
    was swollen 
    closed 

    Then 
    I let 
    loose 
    a right 
    that they 

    still 
    talk 
    about 
    today 

    For 
    that 
    guinea 
    didn't 
    know 
    that I 

    had 
    bet 
    the 
    other 
    way 

    Verse 7
    They covered 
    every 
    dock 
    and every 

    port 
    there 
    on 
    the coast 

    Looking 
    for 
    that 
    double 
    crosser 

    who 
    had turned 
    into 
    a ghost 

    But 
    was on 
    a train 
    my 
    friend 

    that rode 
    the 
    other 
    way 

    And 
    i'll sail 
    from 
    Califor
    nia 
    back 
    to
    Dub

    lin 

    one 
    fine 
    day

    • 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.
