    As 
    down 
    the 
    glen 
    came 
    Mc
    Alpine's 
    men 

    With 
    their 
    shovels 
    slung 
    be
    hind 
    them 

    'Twas 
    in 
    the 
    pub 
    they 
    drank 
    the 
    sub 

    And 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    spike 
    you'll 
    find 
    them 

    They 
    sweated 
    blood 

    and 
    they 
    washed 
    down 
    mud 

    With 
    pints 
    and 
    quarts 
    of 
    beer 

    And 
    now 
    we're 
    on 
    the 
    road 
    again 

    With 
    Mc
    Alpine's 
    fusil
    iers 

    Verse 2
    stripped 
    to 
    the 
    skin 
    with 
    Darky 
    Flynn 

    Way 
    down 
    upon 
    the 
    Isle 
    of 
    Grain 

    With 
    Horseface 
    Toole 
    then 
    knew 
    the 
    rule 

    No 
    money 
    if 
    you 
    stop 
    for 
    rain 

    Mc
    Alpine's 
    God 
    was 
    well 
    filled 
    hod 

    Your 
    shoulders 
    cut 
    to 
    bits 
    and 
    seared 

    And 
    woe 
    to 
    he 
    who 
    to 
    looks 
    for 
    tea 

    With 
    Mc
    Alpine's 
    fusil
    iers 

    Verse 3
    re
    member 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    the 
    Bear 
    O'Shea 

    Fell 
    into 
    concrete 
    stairs 

    What 
    Horseface 
    said, 
    when 
    he 
    saw 
    him 
    dead 

    Well, 
    it 
    wasn't 
    what 
    the 
    rich 
    call 
    prayers 

    I'm 
    navvy 
    short 
    was 
    the 
    one 
    retort 

    That 
    reached 
    unto 
    my 
    ears 

    When 
    the 
    going 
    is 
    rough, 

    well 
    you 
    must 
    be 
    tough 

    With 
    Mc
    Alpine's

    Interlude 1




    Verse 4
    I've 
    worked 
    'till 
    the 
    sweat 
    has 
    had 
    me 
    bet 

    With 
    Russian, 
    Czech 
    and 
    Pole 

    On 
    shuddering 
    jams 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    hydro 
    dams 

    Or 
    underneath 
    the 
    Thames 
    in 
    hole 

    grafted 
    hard 
    and 
    I've 
    got 
    me 
    cards 

    And 
    many 
    ganger's 
    fist 
    across 
    me 
    ears 

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

    With 
    Mc
    Alpine's

    • 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.
