    • Verse 1
    Michael 
    McGrory from 

    west Doneg
    al 

    You came 
    to Glasgow 
    with 
    nothing 

    at all 

    You fought the landlord 

    then 
    the Africa 
    Korps 

    When 
    you came 
    to Glasgow with 

    nothing 
    at all 

    Abraham 
    Ca
    plan from Vilnius y
    ou came 
    Verse 2


    You were 
    heading for 
    New York 
    but 

    Leith's where 
    you've stayed 

    You built a great 
    business 

    which 
    benefits 
    all 

    Since 
    you came 
    to this land 
    with 

    nothing 
    at all 

    In Scotland's 
    story 
    I 
    read that they 
    came 
    The 
    Gael 
    and the Pict, 
    the 
    Verse 3

    Angle 
    and Dane 

    But 
    so did 
    the Irishman, 

    Jew and 
    Ukraine 

    They're 
    all Scotland's 
    story 

    and they're 
    all worth 
    the same 

    Verse 4
    Joseph 
    D'An
    gelo dreams of the 
    days 

    When 
    Italian 
    kids in 
    the 
    Grassmarket 

    played 

    We burned out 
    his shop when 
    the 

    boys went 
    to 
    war 

    But auld Joe's 
    a big man 
    and 

    he forgave 
    all 

    In Scotland's 
    story I'm 
    told that they 
    came 

    Verse 5
    The 

    Gael 
    and the Pict, 
    the Angle 
    and Dane 

    But 
    where's all 
    the Chinese 

    and 
    Indian 
    names? 

    They're 
    in my land's 
    story 
    and they're 

    all worth 
    the 
    same 


    Verse 6

    Christina 
    McKay, I 
    learned 
    of 
    your name 

    How 
    you traveled 
    south 
    from 

    Delny one 
    day 

    You raised a whole 
    family 

    in 
    one room 
    they say 

    And 
    the X on 
    the line stands 
    in 

    place of 
    your 
    name 

    Verse 7
    So in the 
    old story 
    I'll 
    bet that 
    I came 

    From 
    Gael 
    and Pict 
    and 
    Angle 
    and Dane 

    And a 
    poor migrant 
    girl who could 

    not write 
    her name 

    It's a 
    common old 
    story but 
    it's 

    mine just 
    the same 

    Verse 8
    All through 
    the story 
    the immigrants 
    came 

    The 
    Gael 
    and the Pict, 
    the Angle 
    and Dane 

    From 
    Pakistan, 

    England 
    and 
    from the Ukraine 

    We're all Scotland's 
    story 
    and we're 

    all worth 
    the same 

    Your Scotland's 
    story 
    is worth 
    just 
    the 
    same

      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.

      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.
