N/A
Verse 1
Am

There was Johnny McEldoo

and McGee and me

And a couple of two or three went on
C

the spree one day
Am

We had a bob or two, which

we knew how to blew
C
Am

And the beer and whiskey flew
G
C

and we all felt gay

We visited McCann's, Maclaman's, Humpty
G

Dan's
C

We then went into Swan's,
G

our stomachs for to pack
Am

We ordered out a feed, which

indeed, we did need
C
Am

And we finished it with speed, but
G
C

we still felt slack
Am
Johnny McEldoo turned as blue
Verse 2

as a Jew

And a plate of Irish stew he
G

soon put out of sight
Am

He shouted out "Encore!" with

a roar for some more

That he'd never felt before such
G
C

a keen appetite

He ordered eggs and ham, bread
G

and jam, what a cram
C

But him, we couldn't ram, though we
G

tried our level best
C
Am

For everything we brought, cold

or hot, mattered not
C

It went down him like a shot but

he still stood the test
Verse 3
Am

He swallowed tripe and lard by the yard, we
C

got scarred
G

We thought it would go hard when

the waiter brought the bill
C
Am

We told him to give o'er, but

he swore he could lower
C

Twice as much again and more be
G
C

fore he had his fill
Am

He nearly supped a trough full of broth says

McGragh
C

"He'll devour the tablecloth
G

if you don't hold him in"
C
Am

When the waiter brought the charge,

McEldoo felt so large

He began to shout and barge and his
C

blood went on fire
G

He began to curse and swear, tear his hair in despair
C
And to finish the
Verse 4


affair, called

the shop man a liar
Am

The shop man, he through out

and no doubt, he did clout
C

McEldoo he kicked about like
G

an old football
Am

Tattered all his clothes, broke his nose,

I suppose

He would have killed him with a few blows
G
C

in no time at all

Mceldoo began to howl
G

and to growl, by my soul
C

He threw an empty bowl at the
G

shop keepers head
Am

It struck poor Mickey Flynn, peeled

his skin off his chin
C

And eruptions did begin
G
C

and we all fought and bled
Am

The peelers did arrive, man

alive, four or five

At us they made a dive for
G

us all to march away
C
Am

We paid for all the mate that

we ate, stood a trait
C

And went home to ruminate

on the spree that 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.
