Verse 1
D
G
D
G
D
Your gal and sportsman all,
come listen to me story
It's of the bald skewball,
our noble racing pony
Dm
D
And the marvel of the man,
who brought bald skewball over
He's the diamond of the land,
C
G
and he rolls around in clover
D
G
Oh, the kettle were brought out
C
D
With saddle, whip, and bridle
G
And the gentlemen did shout
D
C
D
When they saw the gallant rider
C
D
Some cried hooray
G
And the air was thick with curses
D
And then on the Gregory Zelda
G
Cm
G
The sportsmen laid their purses
D
Oh, the trumpet did sound
G
D
C
D
And they shot off like an arrow
G
Scarcely touched the ground,
D
C
D
and the go ing, it was narrow,
C
D
But Griselda passed him by,
G
and the sportsmen all did holler,
D
For the grey will win the day,
G
D
G
D
and skewball he can follow.

In the middle of the track
D
C
D
Upspoke the noble rider
G
Fear we must fall back
D
For she's running like a tiger
Upspoke the gallant horse
G
Oh, ride on, ride on, me master
C
D
For we're half -way round the course
G
And now you'll see who's faster
D
G
And after this discourse
D
C
D
While skewball blew like lightning
Em
G
He dashed around the course
D
C
D
and the grey mare she was taking
C
Bet on me, noble lord,
D
G
for a good two hundred guineas
D
C
D
For the saddle shall be of gold
G
when we pick up our winnings
D
G
Well past the Wynn and Post,
D
C
D
while skewball once a -handy,
And horse and rider
G
D
C
D
both called for sherry, wine and brandy,
C
D
And they drunk to that grey mare,
or the gallant Miss Griselda,
G
D
C
D
And to all who'd lost their money
G
on this port in Plains of Kildare.

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

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
