Verse 1
G
As I was going over the far
-famed Kerry Mountains,

and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol
and I threw forth my sabre,
saying, Stand and deliver,
for you are about a sabre.
Oh, whack for the diddle -o,
whack for the diddle -o,
there's whisky in the jar.
And whack for the diddle -o,
whack for the diddle -o,
there's whisky in the jar.

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 🙂”

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.”
