    As down the glen came McAlpine's men
    A
    E
    A

    With their shovels slung behind them
    D

    'Twas in the pub they drank the sub

    And up in the spike you'll find them
    A

    They sweated blood
    D

    and they washed down mud

    With pints and quarts of beer
    A
    D

    And now we're on the road again
    A

    I stripped to the skin with Darky Flynn
    A
    E
    A

    Way down upon the Isle of Grain
    D

    With Horseface Toole then I knew the rule

    No money if you stop for rain
    A
    D

    McAlpine's God was a well filled hod

    Your shoulders cut to bits and seared
    A
    D

    And woe to he who to looks for tea
    A
    E

    D

    I remember the day that the Bear O'Shea
    A
    E
    A

    Fell into a concrete stairs
    D

    What Horseface said, when he saw him dead

    Well, it wasn't what the rich call prayers
    A
    D

    I'm a navvy short was the one retort

    That reached unto my ears
    A

    When the going is rough,
    D

    well you must be tough
    A

    D

    I've worked 'till the sweat has had me bet
    A
    E
    A

    With Russian, Czech and Pole
    D

    On shuddering jams up in the hydro dams

    Or underneath the Thames in a hole
    A
    D

    I grafted hard and I've got me cards

    And many a ganger's fist across me ears
    A
    D

    If you pride your life, don't join by Christ
    A

    • 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.
