    On 
    the 
    night 
    that 
    Paddy 
    Murphy 
    died, 

    is 
    night 
    I'll 
    never 
    for
    get 

    Some 
    of 
    the 
    boys 
    got 
    loaded 
    drunk 

    and 
    they 
    ain't 
    been 
    sober 
    yet 

    As 
    long 
    as 
    bottle 
    was 
    passed 
    around 

    every 
    man 
    was 
    feelin' 
    gay 

    O'Leary 
    came 
    with 
    the 
    bagpipes, 

    Chorus 1
    some 
    music 
    for 
    to 
    play 

    That's 
    how 
    they 
    showed 

    their 
    res
    pect 
    for 
    Paddy 
    Murphy 

    That's 
    how 
    they 
    showed 

    their 
    honour 
    and 
    their 
    pride 

    They 
    said 
    it 
    was 
    sin 
    and 
    shame 

    and 
    they 
    winked 
    at 
    one 
    an
    other 

    And 
    every 
    drink 
    in 
    the 
    place 
    was 
    full 

    the 
    night 
    Pat 
    Murphy 
    died 





    Verse 2
    As 
    Mrs. 
    Murphy 
    sat 
    in 
    the 
    corner 

    pouring 
    out 
    her 
    grief 

    Kelly 
    and 
    his 
    gang 
    came 

    tearing 
    down 
    the 
    street 

    They 
    went 
    into 
    an 
    empty 
    room 

    and 
    bottle 
    of 
    whiskey 
    stole 

    They 
    put 
    the 
    bottle 
    with 
    the 
    corpse 

    to 
    keep 
    that 
    whiskey 
    cold 

    Chorus 2
    That's 
    how 
    they 
    showed 

    their 
    res
    pect 
    for 
    Paddy 
    Murphy 

    That's 
    how 
    they 
    showed 

    their 
    honour 
    and 
    their 
    pride 

    They 
    said 
    it 
    was 
    sin 
    and 
    shame 

    and 
    they 
    winked 
    at 
    one 
    an
    other 

    And 
    every 
    drink 
    in 
    the

    the 
    night 
    Pat

    died 





    Verse 3
    About 
    two 
    o'clock 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    after 
    empty'ing 
    the 
    jug 

    Doyle 
    rolls 
    up 
    the 
    ice 
    box 
    lid 

    to 
    see 
    poor 
    Paddy's 
    mug 

    We 
    stopped 
    the 
    clock 

    so 
    Mrs. 
    Murphy 
    couldn't 
    tell 
    the 
    time 

    And 
    at 
    quarter 
    after 
    two 

    we 
    argued 
    it 
    was 
    nine 

    Chorus 3
    That's 
    how 
    they 
    showed 

    their

    the

    George 
    Street 

    out
    side 
    Sundance 
    Saloon 

    They 
    all 
    went 
    in 
    at 
    half 
    past 
    eight 

    and 
    staggered 
    out 
    at 
    noon 

    They 
    went 
    up 
    to 
    the 
    graveyard, 

    so 
    holy 
    and 
    sublime 

    Found 
    out 
    when 
    they 
    got 
    there, 

    they'd 
    left 
    the 
    corpse 
    be
    hind

    • 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.
