    • Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    went 
    a-walkin' on 

    Kilgary 
    Mountain, 

    I spied 
    Colonel 
    Pepper, 

    and 
    his 
    money 
    he 
    was 
    countin'; 

    I 
    rattled 
    out 
    my 
    pistols 
    and 
    I 

    drew 
    forth 
    my saber, 

    Cryin', 
    "Stand 
    and 
    deliver, 

    for 
    I 
    am 
    a 
    bold 
    deceiver." 

    (Chorus:) 

    Musha 
    rig 
    um 
    do rum 
    da, 

    Whack 
    fol 
    the 
    daddy 
    o, 

    Whack 
    fol 
    the 
    daddy 
    o, 

    There's 
    whisky 
    in 
    the 
    jar. 

    The gold 
    and 
    silver 
    coins, 

    they 
    looked 
    so 
    bright 
    and 
    shiny, 

    Oh, 
    I 
    took 
    them 
    home 
    straightway, 

    and 
    I 
    gave 
    'em 
    to 
    my 
    Molly; 

    She 
    vowed 
    and 
    she 
    promised 
    that 

    she 
    never 
    would 
    deceive 
    me, 

    But 
    the 
    devil's 
    in 
    the 
    women, 
    oh, 

    you 
    never 
    can 
    believe 

    'em. 

    (Chorus) 

    But when 
    I 
    awoke 
    between 

    six 
    and 
    seven, 

    The guards 
    were 
    all 
    around 
    me 

    in 
    numbers 
    odd 
    and 
    even; 

    I 
    reached 
    for 
    my 
    pistols, 
    but 
    alas, 

    I 
    was 
    mistaken; 

    My 
    pistols 
    had 
    been 
    fired, 

    and 
    a 
    prisoner 
    I 
    was 
    taken. 

    (Chorus) 

    They 
    put 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    jail 
    without 

    judge 
    or writin', 

    For 
    robbing 
    Colonel 
    Pepper, 

    oh, 
    on 
    Kil
    gary Mountain, 

    But 
    they 
    didn't 
    take 
    my fists, 

    so 
    I 
    knocked 
    the sentry 
    down, 

    And 
    bade 
    farewell 
    to 
    the 
    jail 
    in Sligo 

    town. 


    (Chorus) 

    Some 
    people 
    take 
    delight 
    in 

    fishin' 
    and 
    in 
    bowlin'; 

    Oh, 
    others 
    take 
    delight 
    in 
    the 

    carriages 
    a-rollin'; 

    But 
    I 
    take 
    delight 
    in 
    the 

    juice 
    of 
    the 
    barley, 

    And 
    courtin' 
    pretty 
    girls 
    'til 
    the 
    morning 
    so 

    early.

      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.
