Verse 1
D

It was in the year of '88
G

in the lovely month of June
A

When the gadflies were swarming

and dogs howling at the moon
D

With rosary beads and sandwiches
G

for Stuttgart we began
A

Joxer packed his German phrasebook
D

and jumpleads for the van
D

Some of the lads had never been
Em

away from home before
A

'Twas the first time Whacker put his foot

outside of Inchicore

Before we left for Europe

we knew we'd need a plan

So we all agreed that Joxer

was the man to drive the van
Verse 2
D

In Germany the autobahn,
G

'twas like the Long Mile Road
A

There was every make of car and van

all carrying the full load
D

Ford Transits and Hiaces
G

and old Bedford from Tralee
A

With the engine overheating
D

from longhauling duty free
D

There was fans from Ballygermot,
Em

Ballybough and Ballymun
A

On the journey of a lifetime,
D

and the crack was ninety- one

Joxer met a German's daughter

on the banks of the river Rhine

And he told her she'd be welcome
A
G

in Ballyfermot any time

As soon as we found Stuttgart
G

we got the wagons in a ring
A

Sean Og got out the banjo,

Peter played the mandolin
D

There was fans there from everywhere
G

attracted by the sound
A

At the first Fleadh Ceoil in Europe,
D

and Joxer passed the round
D

But the session it ended
Em

when we'd finished all the stout
A

The air mattresses inflated
D

and the sleeping bags rolled out
D

As one by one we fell asleep
G

Joxer had a dream
D

He dreamt himself and Jack Charlton
A
G
A
G
A

sat down to pick the team
Verse 4
D

Well, Joxer dreamt they both agreed
G

on Packie Bonner straight away
A

And that Moran, Whelan and McGrath

were certainly to play
D

But tempers they began to rise
G

and patience wearing thin
A

Jack wanted Cascarino
D

but Joxer wanted Quinn
D

The dream turned into a nightmare,
Em

Joxer stuck the head on Jack
A

Who wanted to bring Johnny Giles
D

and Eamon Dunphy back

The cock crew in the morning,
G

it crew both loud and shrill
D

Joxer woke up in his sleeping bag
A
G
A
G

many miles from Arbour Hill
Verse 5
D

The next morning none of the experts
G

gave us the slightest chance
A

They said the English team would lead us

on a merry dance

With their Union Jacks all them English fans
G

for victory they were set
A

Until Ray Houghton got the ball
D
G
D
A

and stuck it in the net
D

What happened next is history,
Em

brought tears to many eyes
A

That day will be the highlight

of many people's lives

Joxer climbed right over the top
G

and the last time he was seen
D

Was arm in arm with Jack Charlton
A
G
A

singing, Revenge for Skibereen.

Now Whacker's back in Inchicore,

he's living with his mam

Jack Charlton has been proclaimed

an honorary Irishman

on the banks of the river Rhine

She showed up in Ballyfermot

  • 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.
