    Verse 1
    passing 
    ship 

    I have 
    found 
    the 
    open 
    ocean 

    Give 
    me no 
    lip 

    The waves 
    roll 
    by 
    as 
    I pass 
    on 

    A sunlit 
    sea 
    Verse 2

    On 
    the first 
    day 
    of 
    April 

    How fresh 
    the wind 

    Will 
    you miss 
    me 
    when I'm 
    gone? 

    Verse 3

    How many 
    words 

    How many 
    songs 
    still 
    unwrit
    ten? 

    How 
    many 
    ships 

    Of 
    the line 
    have come 
    and 
    gone? 

    Verse 4
    In 
    the good 
    old days 

    May they 
    never 
    be 
    forgot
    ten 

    They 
    had 
    heavy 
    wind 

    Or they 
    had 
    no 
    wind 
    at 
    all 


    Verse 5

    A passing 
    ship 

    It 
    is midnight 
    on 
    the 
    ocean 

    Had 
    a real 
    long 
    trip 

    I have 
    been 
    at sea 
    all 
    win
    ter 

    When 
    my ship 
    came 
    in 
    Verse 6

    I was 
    givin' 
    up the 
    ghost 

    I think 
    I should 
    be 

    Leavin' 
    those 
    passing 

    ships 
    alone 

    Verse 7

    When the sea 
    runs 
    high 

    The sea runs 
    wild 
    and 
    I'm 
    un
    steady 

    And 
    I think 
    of you 

    In 
    the warmth 
    of your 
    home 
    and fam
    ily 

    When 
    love 
    is true 
    Verse 8

    There 
    is no 
    truer 
    occupation 

    And may this 
    gale 

    Blow 
    us 
    to 
    the ones 
    we 

    Interlude 1
    love 




    Verse 9
    Another 
    day, 
    another 
    ocean 

    Give 
    me no 
    lip 

    But 
    stand 
    aside 
    as 
    pass on 

    A sunlit 
    sea 

    On 
    the last 
    day 
    in 
    Octo
    ber 

    How fresh 
    the wind 
    Verse 10

    Will 
    you miss 
    me 
    from 
    now 
    on? 

    I guess 
    I should 
    be 

    Outro 1
    Leavin' 
    passing 
    ships 
    alone

    • 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.
