    • Verse 1
    When 
    i 

    was 
    young 
    and 
    I 
    was 
    in 
    my 
    day 

    I could 
    steal 
    what 
    womans 

    heart 
    there 
    was 
    away 

    Sing 
    and 
    dance 
    into 
    the 
    dawning 

    Blaze 
    a 
    trail 
    until 
    the 
    morning 

    Long 
    be
    fore 
    I 
    was 
    the man 

    you see 
    today 

    Verse 2
    And 
    I 
    was 
    born 
    beneath 

    the star 
    that 
    prom
    ised 
    all 

    I 
    could 
    have lived 
    my 
    life 
    between 

    cork 
    cobh and 
    youghal 

    But 
    the wheel 
    of fortune 
    took 
    me 

    From 
    the highest 
    point 
    she 
    shook 
    me 

    By 
    the 
    bottle 
    live 
    by 
    the 
    bottle 
    i 
    shall 
    fall 

    Verse 3

    But 
    there 
    in 
    the mirror 
    on 
    the wall 

    I 
    see 
    the dream 
    is 
    fading 

    From 
    the con
    tender 
    to 
    the 
    fall 

    The 
    ring, 
    the 
    rose, 
    the matador, 

    rav

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    And 
    when 
    I 
    die 
    I'll 
    die 
    a 
    drunk 

    down 
    on 
    the 
    street 

    You 
    can 
    count 
    me 
    out 
    to 

    ten 
    in 
    clear 
    de
    feat 

    Rap 
    the stary 
    plough 
    around 
    me 

    Let 
    the pipers 
    air 
    resound 
    me 

    There 
    I'll rest 
    until 
    the lord 
    of 
    love 
    I meet 

    Verse 5

    But 
    there 
    in 
    the mirror 
    on 
    the wall 

    I 
    see 
    the 
    dream 
    is 
    fading 

    From 
    the con
    tender 
    to 
    the brawl 

    The 
    ring, 
    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

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
