    shore 
    liber
    ty, 

    On 
    the tropic 
    little 
    island

    Bimini 

    I 
    go 
    to 
    bar 
    where 
    lights 
    are 
    bright; 

    Calypso 
    music 
    everything 
    all

    put 
    me 
    in

    name 
    be?" 

    He

    free." 


    Verse 3
    Lonely 
    was 
    I 
    from 
    many 
    days 
    at 
    sea; 

    I 
    wanted 
    this 
    woman 
    who 

    was 
    wild 
    and 
    free. 

    Say, 
    Bahama 
    mama, 
    Limbo 
    with 
    me? 

    She 
    work 
    me 
    over 
    like 
    Hurricane 
    Shirley. 

    Verse 4
    Drink 
    much 
    rum, 
    get 
    me 
    in 
    a 
    fight, 

    Sailor 
    hit 
    me 
    on 
    head, 
    out 
    go 
    lights. 

    When 
    I 
    came 
    to, 
    guess 
    what

    • 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.”
