Verse 1
C
F
G
C
Oh, my name it is Nell,
and the truth for to tell
F
I come from Cote Hill,
C
Am
which I'll never deny
G
C
I had a fine drake,
and I die for his sake
F
C
That my grandmother left me,
G
and she gone to die
C
G
F
The dear little fellow,
C
F
his legs they were yellow
C
Am
He could fly like a swallow,
G
or swim like a hake
C
Till some dirty savage took
grace his white cabbage,
F
Most wantonly murdered
C
G
C
my beautiful drake.
Now his neck it was green,
almost fit to be seen,
F
He was fit for a queen
C
Am
of the highest degree.
G
C
His body was white,
and it would you delight,
F
C
He was plump, fat, and heavy,
and brisk as a bee.
F
G
F
He was wholesome an d sound,
Am
C
he would weigh twenty pound,
F
And the universe round,
G
he would roam for his sake.
C
G
But look to the robber,
C
be he drunk or sober,
F
C
That murder'd Nell Flaherty's
G
C
beautiful drake.
May his spade never dig,
may his sow never pick,
F
May each hair on his wig
C
Am
be well thriced with the flail,
G
C
May his door never latch,
may his roof have no thatch,
F
C
May his turkeys not hatch,
may the rats eat his mail.
F
May every old fairy from
G
C
Cork to Dun Laoghaire
Am
C
F
C
G
Dip him snug and air y in river or lake,
C
That the eel and the trout
they may dine on the snout
F
Of the monster that murdered
Am
G
C
Nell Flaherty's drake.
May his pig never grunt,
may his cat never hunt,
F
C
May a ghost ever haunt him
G
at dead of the night,
C
May his hens never lay,
may his horse never neigh,
F
C
G
May his goat fly away like an owl -paper kite,
C
F
That the flies and the fleas,
Am
may the wretch ever tease,
C
May the piercing March breeze
Am
G
make him shiver and shake,
C
May a lump of his stick
raise the bumps fast and thick,
F
And the monster that murdered
C
G
C
Nell Flaherty's drake.
Well, the only good news that I have to infuse
is
F
C
That old Paddy Hughes and
Am
G
young Anthony Blake,
C
Also Johnny Dwyer and Corny McGuire,
F
C
They each have a grandson
G
C
of my darling Drake.
F
My treasure had dozens of
C
nephews and cousins,
And one I must get
G
or my heart it will break.
C
For to set me mind easy,
or else I'll run crazy,
So ends the whole song of
G
C
Nell Flaherty's drake.

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

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.”
