    Oh well Rose stood uncovered,
    D
    Em

    the great English pride,

    Her master and keeper were

    close by her side;

    They let them away and the crowd cried,

    'Hurrah!'
    D

    For the pride of all England
    Em

    and Master McGrath.
    Verse 8
    Em

    Oh well Rose and the Master

    they both ran along.

    'I wonder', says Rose,
    D
    Em

    'what took you from your home.

    You should have stayed there

    in your Irish domain,
    D

    And not come to gain laurels
    Em

    on Albion's plain.'
    Verse 9

    'Well, I know', says the Master,
    D

    'we have wild heather
    Em

    bogs

    but, bedad, in old Ireland there's

    good men and dogs.

    Lead on, bold Britannia,

    give none of your jaw,
    D

    Stuff that up your nostrils', says
    Em

    Master McGrath.
    Verse 10
    Em

    Well the hare she led on just
    D
    Em

    as swift as the wind

    He was sometimes before her

    and sometimes behind,

    He jumped on her back and

    held up his ould paw -
    D

    'Long live the Republic', says
    Em

    Master McGrath.

    • 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.
