  • Intro 1

    Verse 1
    They 
    sent 
    him 
    to 
    Asia 

    to fight 
    in 
    a war 

    He came 
    back 
    home 
    crazy 
    and 
    asking, 

    "What for?" 

    They 
    had 
    him 
    committed 
    oh, 

    medals 
    and 
    all 

    To a 
    mental 
    hos
    pital 
    with 
    rubber 
    walls 

    Verse 2
    They 
    cut 
    off 
    the 
    funding 
    oh, 

    they cut 
    off 
    the 
    lights 

    He 
    hit 
    the street 
    runnin' 
    that 

    cold 
    winter 
    night 

    Now the 
    streets 
    are 
    the 
    only 
    place 

    he 
    can 
    call 
    home 

    He seems, 
    oh 
    so 
    lonely, 

    but 
    he's 
    never 
    alone 

    Verse 3

    He 
    lies 
    there 
    holding 
    his 
    Wild 
    Irish 
    Rose 

    This 
    crazy 
    old 
    fool 
    in 

    the smelly 
    old 
    clothes 

    He could 
    have 
    had 
    something 
    much 
    better, 

    God 
    knows 

    Than 
    half-empty 
    bottle 

    bottle 
    of 
    Wild 
    Irish 
    Rose 

    Verse 4

    baby 
    named 
    Scarlet 

    with 
    laughing 
    blue 
    eyes 

    Has 
    been 
    in his 
    wallet, 

    ah 
    way 
    back 
    since 
    '65 

    So 
    much 
    was 
    forgotten, 

    oh 
    so 
    far 
    back 
    in 
    time 

    Way 
    down 
    in 
    the bot
    tom 

    of 
    river 
    of 
    wine 

    Verse 5
    You 
    know, 
    they found 
    him at 
    Clark street, 

    West 
    25th 

    They can't 
    even 
    find 
    a heartbeat 
    Lord, 

    his 
    fingers 
    are stiff 

    Just 
    like 
    they're 
    all 
    frozen, 

    he's 
    holding 
    her tight 

    But the 
    habit, 
    oh, 
    it's 
    broken, 

    this 
    is 
    Roses' last 
    night 

    Verse 6
    He 
    lies 
    there 
    holding 
    his 
    Wild 
    Irish 
    Rose 

    But his 
    soul's 
    in 
    place 

    where 
    real 
    hero 
    goes 

    Now 
    he's 
    got 
    something 
    better 
    much 
    better, 

    God 
    knows 

    Than 
    half-empty 
    bottle 
    bottle 
    of 
    Wild 
    Ir
    ish 

    Rose

    • 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.
