    Verse 1
    Mother, 
    mother 
    ocean, 

    well 
    have 
    heard 
    you 
    call 

    Wanted 
    to 
    sail 
    upon 
    your 
    waters 

    Since 
    was 
    three 
    feet 
    tall 

    'Cause 
    you've 
    seen 
    it 
    all, 

    you've 
    seen 
    it 
    all 

    Verse 2
    Watched 
    the 
    men 
    who 
    rode 
    you 

    Switch 
    from 
    sails 
    to 
    steam 

    And 
    in 
    your 
    belly 
    you 
    hold 
    the 
    treasures 

    That 
    few 
    have 
    ever 
    seen 

    Most 
    of 
    'em 
    dreams 

    Most 
    of 
    'em 
    dreams 

    Solo 1



    Verse 3
    Yes, 
    am 
    pirate 

    few 
    hundred 
    years 
    too 
    late 

    The 
    cannons 
    don't 
    thunder 

    There's 
    nothin' 
    to 
    plunder 

    I'm 
    an 
    under-forty 
    victim 
    of 
    fate 

    Arriving 
    too 
    late, 
    arriving 
    too 
    late 

    Verse 4
    I've 
    done 
    bit 
    of 
    smugglin' 

    I've 
    run 
    my 
    share 
    of 
    weed 

    And 
    I've 
    made 
    enough 
    money 
    to 
    buy 
    Miami 

    But 
    pissed 
    it 
    away 
    so 
    fast 

    It's 
    never 
    meant 
    to 
    last, 

    It's 
    never 
    meant 
    to 
    last 

    Solo 2



    Verse 5
    Well 
    have 
    been 
    drunk 
    now, 

    for 
    over 
    two 
    weeks 

    I've 
    passed 
    out 
    and 
    rallied, 

    and 
    sprung 
    few 
    leaks 

    But 
    I've 
    got 
    to 
    stop 
    wishin', 

    I've 
    got 
    to 
    go 
    fishin' 

    Down 
    to 
    rock 
    bottom 
    again 

    Just 
    few 
    friends, 

    just 
    few 
    friends 

    Just 
    few 
    friends, 

    just 
    few 
    friends

    • 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.
