flew and we all felt gay
Am
Dm
we visited
G
mccann's, maclaman's, humpty dan's
C
Am
we then went into swan's,
Dm
G
our stomachs for to pack
C
Am
we ordered out a feed,

C
and we finished it with speed,
G
C
but we still felt slack
Am
Johnny mceldoo turned red,
white and blue
C
Am
C
Dm
as a plate of irish stew he soon
G
put out of sight
C
Am
he shouted out "encore!"
with a roar for some more
C
that he'd never felt before
G
C
such a keen appetite
Am
we ordered eggs and ham,
Dm
bread and jam, what a cram
G
C
Am
but him, we couldn't ram,
Dm
G
though we tried our level be st
C
Am
for everthing we brought,
cold or hot, mattered not

we got scarred

we thought it would go hard

Am
we told him to give o'er,
but he swore he could lower

before he had his fill

he nearly supped a trough full
of broth says mcgragh

"he'll devour the tablecloth

if you don't hold him in"

Am
when the waiter brought the charge,
mceldoo felt so large

he began to shout and barge and his

blood went on fire
He began to curse and swear,

tear his hair in despair
C
Dm
to finish the affair,
C
called the shop man a liar

the shop man, he through out and no doubt,
he did clout

like an old football

tattered all his clothes,
broke his nose, i suppose

he would have killed him with a few

C
blows in no time at all
Dm
mceldoo began to howl and to growl,
G
by my soul
C
Dm
through an empty bowl
at the shop keepers head
C

it struck poor mickey flynn,
took the skin from his chin
C
an eruction did begin and we

all fought and bled
Am
the peelers did arrive,
man alive, four or five

at us they made a dive for us
Dm
all to march away
G

we paid for all the mate that we ate,
stood a trait

and went home to ruminate on

the spree that day

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
