Verse 1
D
G
D
Oh, the shanty man's
A
life is a wearisome life
Bm
Although some think it's
A
Bm
void of care
D
A
Swinging an axe from morning to night
Bm
A
Bm
In the midst of the forest so drear
D
Bm
Lying in the shanty, bleak and cold
D
Bm
While the cold stormy wintry winds blow
E
Bm
E
And as soon as the daylight doth appear
D
Bm
A
Bm
To the wild woods we must go
D
Bullock cook rises up in the
A
middle of the night
Bm
A
Bm
Sing hurrah, boys, it's day
D
A
Broken slumbers of t times are past
Bm
A
Bm
As the cold winter night wows away
D
Had we run out of beer,
Bm
our spirits for to cheer
D
Bm
As the day is so lonely but mild
E
Bm
Oh, a glass of any strong
E
wine in the woods alone
D
Bm
A
Bm
For to cheer up our troubled minds
D
But in spring it does set in,
A
double hardships begin
Bm
A
Bm
When the waters are pierced and cold
D
Our clothes are dripping wet
A
and fingers be numb
Bm
A
Bm
And our pike poles we scarcely can roll
D
We twigs and rocks,
Bm
shoals and sands give employment to our hands
D
Bm
Our world made with raft or steer
E
Bm
And the rapids that we run,
E
D
oh they seem to us but fun
Bm
A
For we're void of all slavish fee
Bm
D
G
A
Oh, shanty lad is the only lad I love
Bm
A
Bm
I never will deny the same
D
My heart does scorn these
A
conceited farmer boys
Bm
A
Bm
Who think it ain't disgraceful name
D
They may boast about their farms,
Bm
but my shanty boy has charms
D
A
Bm
So far for surpassing them all
E
Bm
Until death and death must part,
E
D
He shall enjoy my heart,
Let
Bm
A
His riches be great or small.
Bm

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.”
