    Verse 1
    There's 
    uniform 

    that's 
    hanging 
    in

    What's 
    known 
    as 
    father's 
    room 

    uniform 
    so 
    simple 
    in 
    it's style 

    It 
    has 
    no 
    braid 
    of 
    gold 
    or 
    silk 

    No 
    hat 
    with 
    feathered 
    plume 

    Yet 
    me 
    mother 
    has 
    pre

    served 
    it 
    all 
    the 
    while 

    One 
    day 
    she 
    made 
    me try 
    it on 

    wish 
    of 
    mine 
    for 
    years 

    "Just 
    in 
    memory 
    of 
    your 
    father 
    dear" 

    She 
    said 
    and 
    when 
    put 

    the Sam 
    Browne 
    on 

    She 
    was 
    smiling 
    through her 
    tears 

    As she 
    placed 
    the 
    broad 
    black 

    Brimmer 
    on 
    me 
    head 

    Verse 2
    It's 
    just 
    broad 
    black 
    brimmer 

    With it's 
    ribbons 
    frayed 
    and 
    torn 

    By 
    the 
    careless 
    whisk 
    of 

    Many's 
    mountain 
    breeze 

    An 
    old 
    trench 
    coat 
    that's 

    All 
    battle-stained 
    and 
    and 
    worn 

    And 
    breeches 
    almost 

    threadbare 
    at 
    the 
    knees 

    A Sam 
    Browne 
    belt 
    with 
    the 

    Buckle 
    big 
    and strong 

    And 
    holster 
    that's 
    been 

    Empty 
    many's 
    day 

    But 
    when 
    men 
    claim 
    Ireland's 
    freedom 

    The 
    one 
    should 
    choose 
    to 
    lead 
    them 

    Will 
    wear 
    the 
    broad 
    black 

    brimmer 
    of 
    the 
    IRA 

    Verse 3

    It 
    was 
    the 
    uniform 
    being 
    worn 

    By 
    me 
    father 
    long 
    ago 

    When 
    he 
    reached 
    me 
    mother's 

    Homestead 
    on

    run 

    It 
    was

    me father 
    wore 

    In 
    that 
    little 
    church

    When 
    oul' Father 
    Mac 

    He 
    blessed 
    the 
    pair 
    as 
    one 

    And 
    af
    ter 
    truce 
    and 
    treaty 
    and 

    The 
    parting 
    of 
    the 
    ways 

    He 
    wore 
    it 
    when 
    he marched 

    out 
    with 
    the 
    rest 

    And 
    when 
    they 
    bore 
    his 
    body 

    Down 
    that 
    rugged 
    heather 
    braes 

    They 
    placed 
    the 
    broad 
    black 

    Brimmer 
    on 
    his 
    breast 

    Verse 4
    It's 
    just 
    broad 
    black 
    brimmer 

    With 
    it's 
    rib
    bons 
    frayed 
    and 
    torn 

    By 
    the 
    careless 
    whisk 
    of

    • 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.
