    Verse 1
    Well, 
    I 
    took 
    a 
    stroll 

    on 
    the 
    old 
    long 
    walk 

    Of 
    a 
    day-I- 
    ay-I- 
    ay 

    I 
    met 
    a 
    little 
    girl 
    and 
    we 
    stopped 
    to 
    talk 

    Of 
    a 
    fine 
    soft 
    day-I- 
    ay 

    And 
    I 
    ask 
    you, 
    friend, 
    what's 
    a 
    fella 
    to 
    do? 

    'Cause 
    her 
    hair 
    was 
    black 

    and 
    her 
    eyes 
    were 
    blue 

    And 
    I 
    knew 
    right 
    then 

    I'd 
    be 
    takin' 
    a 
    whirl 

    'Round 
    the 
    Salthill 
    Prom 
    with 
    a 
    Galway 
    girl 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    We 
    were 
    halfway 
    there 

    when 
    the 
    rain 
    came 
    down 

    Of 
    a 
    day-I- 
    ay-I- 
    ay 

    She 
    asked 
    me 
    up 
    to 
    her 
    flat 
    down
    town 

    Of 
    a 
    fine 
    soft 
    day-I- 
    ay 

    And 
    I 
    ask 
    you, 
    friend, 
    what's 
    a 
    fella 
    to 
    do? 

    'Cause 
    her 
    hair 
    was 
    black 

    and 
    her 
    eyes 
    were 
    blue 

    I 
    took 
    her 
    hand 

    and 
    I 
    gave 
    her 
    a 
    twirl 

    And 
    I 
    lost 
    my 
    heart 
    to 
    a 
    Galway 
    girl 

    Interlude 2



    Interlude 3






    Verse 3
    When 
    I 
    woke 
    up 
    I 
    was 
    all 
    alone 

    With 
    a 
    broken 
    heart 
    and 
    a 
    ticket 
    home 

    And 
    I 
    ask 
    you 
    now, 

    tell 
    me 
    what 
    would 
    you 
    do? 

    If 
    her 
    hair 
    was 
    black 

    and 
    her 
    eyes 
    were 
    blue 

    'Cause 
    I've 
    traveled 
    a
    round 

    I've 
    been 
    all 
    over 
    this 
    world 

    Boys, 
    I 
    ain't 
    never 
    seen 
    nothin' 

    like 
    a 
    Galway 
    girl

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
