    Verse 1
    Eighteen 
    sixty 
    nine 

    being 
    the date 
    anf the year, 

    Those 
    Waterloo 
    sportsmen 

    and 
    more 
    did appear, 

    For to 
    gain 
    the great 
    prizes 

    and 
    bear 
    them 
    awa', 

    Never 
    counting 
    on 
    Ireland 
    and 

    Master 
    McGrath. 

    Verse 2
    On the twelfth 
    of 
    November, 

    that 
    day 
    of 
    renown, 

    McGrath and 
    his 
    keeper 

    they 
    left 
    Lurgan 
    town, 

    A 
    gale 
    in 
    the Channel, 

    it soon 
    drove 
    them o'er, 

    On the 
    thirteenth 
    they 
    landed 

    on 
    England's 
    fair shore. 

    Verse 3
    Oh 
    well 
    when 
    they 
    arrived 
    there 

    in 
    big 
    London 
    Town, 

    Those 
    great 
    English 
    sportsmen 

    all 
    gathered 
    around, 

    And 
    one of 
    those 
    gentlemen 

    standing 
    nearby 

    said, 'Is 
    that 
    the great 
    dog 
    you call 

    Master 
    McGrath?' 

    Verse 4
    Oh well 
    one of 
    the 
    gentlemen 

    stand
    ing 
    around, 

    Says, 'I 
    don't 
    care 
    a damn 
    for 
    your 

    Ir
    ish 
    greyhound!' 

    And another 
    he sneered 

    with a scornful 
    'Ha! Ha! 

    We'll 
    soon 
    humble 
    the pride 
    of 

    your Master 
    McGrath.' 

    Then 
    Verse 5
    Lord 
    Lurgan 
    came 
    forward 
    and said, 

    'Gentle
    men, 

    If there's 
    any 
    amongst 

    you has 
    money 
    to 
    spend. 

    For your 
    grand 
    English 
    nobles 
    I don't 
    care 
    a straw, 


    Here's five 
    thousand 
    to one 

    upon 
    Master 
    McGrath.' 

    Verse 6
    Oh, 
    McGrath he 
    looked 
    up 
    and he 

    wagged 
    his 
    old tail. 

    Informing 
    his 
    lordship, 

    'Sure I know 
    what 
    you mean, 

    Don't 
    fear, 
    noble 
    Brownlow, 

    don't 
    fear 
    them 
    agra, 

    We'll soon 
    tarnish 
    their 
    laurels', says 

    Master 
    McGrath. 

    Verse 7
    Oh well 
    Rose 
    stood 
    uncovered, 

    the 
    great 
    English 
    pride, 

    Her 
    master 
    and keeper 
    were 

    close 
    by 
    her 
    side; 

    They 
    let them 
    away 
    and the crowd 
    cried, 

    'Hurrah!' 

    For the pride 
    of all 
    England 

    and Master 
    McGrath. 

    Verse 8
    Oh well 
    Rose 
    and 
    the Master 

    they both 
    ran along. 

    'I 
    wonder', says 
    Rose, 

    'what 
    took you 
    from 
    your home. 

    You 
    should have 
    stayed 
    there 

    in 
    your 
    Irish 
    domain, 

    And not 
    come 
    to 
    gain 
    laurels 

    on Albion's 
    plain.' 

    Verse 9
    'Well, I 
    know', says 
    the Master, 

    'we 
    have wild 
    heather 

    bog
    s 

    but, bedad, 
    in old 
    Ireland 
    there's 

    good 
    men and 
    dogs. 

    Lead 
    on, 
    bold 
    Britannia, 

    give 
    none 
    of your 
    jaw, 

    Stuff 
    that 
    up your 
    nostrils', says 

    Master 
    McGrath. 

    Verse 10
    Well the hare 
    she 
    led on 
    just 

    as swift 
    as 
    the wind 

    He was 
    sometimes 
    before 
    her 

    and 
    sometimes 
    behind, 

    He 
    jumped 
    on 
    her back 
    and 

    held 
    up 
    his 
    ould 
    paw 
    - 

    'Long 
    live 
    the 
    Republic', says 

    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.”
