    Verse 1
    His 
    name 
    was 

    Walter 

    Saunders, 
    we 
    called 
    him 

    New 

    York 

    Al, 
    we 
    done a 
    lot of sailing 

    on 
    life's 

    bittersweet 
    canals, 
    walking 
    on the 
    water, 

    sometimes 
    slip
    ping on 
    the stones, 
    love 
    and 

    and 
    life and 
    death, 
    coming 
    close 
    to home, 
    close 
    to home, 

    close 
    to 
    home. 


    We 
    shared 
    some happiness, 

    yes 
    we shared 
    some 
    pain 

    Some
    times 
    we'd 
    pass 
    the night 
    away, 

    walk
    ing 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    He 
    was 
    my 
    compadre, 

    he 
    walked 
    in my 
    shoes 

    An
    d 
    we would 
    shout 

    and 
    both 
    fall out 
    when 

    lady 
    sang 
    the 
    blues 

    But 
    we 
    know 
    he 
    is 
    safe, 

    we 
    know 
    he is 
    warm 

    We 
    know 
    he 
    is waiting 
    for 
    us 
    in

    Dar 
    es 

    Salaam 

    We 
    will meet 
    together 

    beside 
    the 
    silver 
    sea 

    We 
    will 
    all remember, 

    we 
    will all 
    be free 

    His 
    name 
    was 

    Walter 

    Saunders, 
    but 
    we called 
    him

    the water, 

    sometimes 
    slip
    ping 
    on the 
    stones. 

    Love 
    and 
    breath 
    and 
    life and 
    death

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
