    Near 
    Banbridge 
    town, 
    in 
    the 
    County 
    Down 

    One 
    evening 
    last 
    Ju
    ly 

    Down 
    bóithrín 
    green 
    came 
    sweet 
    cailín 

    And 
    she 
    smiled 
    as 
    she 
    passed 
    me 
    by 

    She 
    looked 
    so 
    neat 
    in 
    her 
    two 
    bare 
    feet 

    An' 
    the 
    sheen 
    in 
    her 
    nut-brown 
    hair 

    Such 
    coaxing 
    elf, 
    I'd 
    to 
    shake 
    myself 

    To 
    make 
    sure 
    was 
    standing 
    there 

    Chorus 1
    From 
    Bantry 
    Bay 
    down 
    to 
    Derry 
    Quay 

    From 
    Galway 
    to 
    Dublin 
    town 

    No 
    maid 
    I've 
    seen 
    like 
    the 
    fair 
    cailín 

    That 
    met 
    in 
    the 
    County 
    Down 

    Verse 2
    As 
    she 
    onward 
    sped 

    And 
    shook 
    my 
    head 

    And 
    gazed 
    with 
    feeling 
    queer 

    And 
    said, 
    says 
    I, 
    to 
    passer
    by 

    "Who's 
    your 
    one 
    with 
    the 
    nut-brown 
    hair?" 

    He 
    smiled 
    at 
    me, 
    and 
    with 
    pride 
    says 
    he, 

    "She's 
    the 
    gem 
    of 
    old 
    Ireland's 
    crown 

    Young 
    Rosie 
    McCann 

    from 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the 
    Bann 

    And 
    the 
    star 
    of 
    the 
    County 
    Down" 

    Chorus 2
    From 
    Bantry 
    Bay 
    down 
    to 
    Derry 
    Quay 

    From 
    Galway 
    to 
    Dublin 
    town 

    No 
    maid 
    I've 
    seen

    fair 
    cai
    lín 

    That 
    met 
    in 
    the 
    County 
    Down 

    She'd 
    Verse 3
    soft 
    brown 
    eye 
    and 
    look 
    so 
    sly 

    And 
    smile 
    like 
    rose 
    in 
    June 

    And 
    you 
    held 
    each 
    note 

    in 
    her 
    auburn 
    throat, 

    as 
    she 
    lilted 
    la
    menting 
    tunes 

    At 
    the 
    pattern 
    dance 
    you'd 
    be 
    in 
    trance 

    as 
    she 
    skipped 
    through 
    jig 
    or 
    reel 

    When 
    her 
    eyes 
    she'd 
    roll, 

    as 
    she'd 
    lift 
    your 
    soul 

    And 
    your 
    heart 
    she 
    would 
    likely 
    steal

    Verse 4
    At 
    the 
    har
    vest 
    fair 
    she'll 
    be 
    surely 
    there 

    and

    me 
    Sunday 
    clothes 

    With 
    me 
    hat 
    cocked

    shone 
    bright 

    for 
    smile 
    from 
    the 
    nut-brown 
    Rose 

    No 
    horse 
    I'll 
    yoke, 
    nor 
    pipe 
    I'll 
    smoke, 

    'til 
    the 
    rust 
    in 
    me 
    plough 
    turn 
    brown 

    And 
    smiling 
    bride

    my

    the

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      "

      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.
