  • Verse 1
    Oh father 
    dear, and 
    I often hear 

    you 
    speak of 
    Erin's 
    isle 

    Her 
    lofty 
    scenes, her 
    val
    leys green, 

    her mountains 
    rude and wild 

    They say 
    it is a 
    lovely land 
    wherein a 

    prince 
    might 
    dwell 

    Then, why 
    did you 
    aban
    don 
    it? 

    Oh, the 
    reason 
    to me, tell 

    Verse 2
    My 
    son, I loved 
    my native land 

    with energy 
    an
    d pride 

    'Til a blight 
    came over 
    all my 
    crops 

    and my sheep 
    and 
    cattle died 

    The 
    rents 
    and taxes 
    were to 
    pay 
    and I could 

    not them 
    re
    deem 

    And that's 
    the cruel 
    reason 

    left old 
    Skibbereen 

    Verse 3
    'Tis well 
    do I remember 
    the 

    bleak November 
    day 

    When the 
    bailiff 
    and the land

    lord came 
    to drive us 
    all 
    away 

    They set 
    the roof on 
    fire 
    with 

    their cursed 
    English 
    spleen 

    And that's 
    another 
    reason 

    I left 
    old 
    Skibbereen 

    Oh, your 
    mother too, 
    God rest 
    her soul, 
    lay on 
    the snowy 
    Verse 4

    ground 

    She fainted 
    in her 
    anguishing, 

    seeing 
    the desolation 
    'round 

    She 
    never rose 
    but 
    passed 
    away 
    from 

    life to 
    immortal 
    dreams 

    And that's 
    another 
    reason 

    left old 
    Skibbereen 

    Verse 5
    Oh, you 
    were only 
    two years 
    old 

    and 
    feeble was 
    your frame 

    could 
    not leave 
    you with 
    my friends 

    for you bore 
    your father
    's name 

    wrapped you 
    in my 
    cóta mór at 
    the dead 

    of the night 
    un
    seen 

    And I heaved 
    a sigh 
    and 
    said goodbye 

    to dear 
    old Skibbereen 

    Verse 6
    Oh well, father 
    dear, 

    and the day 
    will come 
    when 
    in 
    vengeance 
    we will 
    call 

    All 
    Irish 
    men, 
    both stout 
    and tall, 

    will rally 
    unto the call 

    I'll be 
    the man 
    to 
    lead the 
    band 

    beneath 
    the 
    flag 
    of green 

    And loud 
    and high, 
    we'll 
    raise the 
    cry, 

    "Revenge 
    for 
    Skibbereen!"

    • 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.
