  • Verse 1
    Two, 
    three, 
    four 

    The 
    Shankill butchers 
    ride 
    to
    night 

    You 
    better 
    shut 
    your 
    windows 
    tight 

    They're 
    sharpening 
    their 

    cleavers 
    and 
    their 
    knives 

    And 
    taking 
    all their 
    whiskey 

    by 
    the 
    pint 

    Verse 2
    'Cause 
    everybody 
    knows 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    mind 
    your 
    mother's 
    words 

    wicked 
    wind 
    will 
    blow 

    Your 
    ribbons 
    from 
    your 
    curls 

    Everybody 
    moan, 
    everybody 
    shake 

    The 
    Shankill butchers 
    wanna 
    catch 
    you 

    awake 

    Verse 3

    They 
    used 
    to 
    be 
    just 
    like 
    me 
    and 
    you 

    They 
    used 
    to be 
    sweet 
    little 
    boys 

    But 
    something 
    went 
    horribly 
    askew 

    Now 
    killing 
    is their 
    only 
    source 
    of 
    joy 

    Verse 4
    'Cause 
    everybody 
    knows 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    mind 
    your 
    mother's 
    words 

    wicked 
    wind 
    will 
    blow 

    Your 
    ribbons 
    from 
    your 
    curls 

    Everybody 
    moan, 
    everybody 
    shake 

    The 
    Shankill butchers 
    wanna 
    catch 
    you 
    awake 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    The 
    Shankill butchers 
    on 
    the 
    rise 

    They're 
    waiting 
    until 
    the 

    dead 
    of 
    nights 

    They're 
    picking 
    at 
    their 

    fingers 
    with 
    their 
    knives 

    And 
    wiping 
    off their 
    cleavers 

    on their 
    thighs 

    Verse 6
    'Cause 
    everybody 
    knows 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    mind 
    your 
    mother's 
    words 

    wicked 
    wind 
    will 
    blow 

    Your 
    ribbons 
    from 
    your 
    curls 

    Everybody 
    moan, 
    everybody 
    shake 

    The 
    Shankill butchers 
    wanna 
    catch 
    you 

    The 
    Shankill butchers 
    wanna 
    cut 
    you 

    The 
    Shankill butchers 
    wanna 
    catch 
    you, 

    awake 

    Awake 

    Awake 

    Awake

      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.
