    Verse 1
    Is 
    this 
    ship 
    going 
    home? 

    Will you 
    take 
    some 
    old 
    young 
    men 

    for 
    crew? 

    We 
    left 
    our 
    flag 
    in 
    tatter
    s 

    Where 
    it 
    fell 
    along 
    the 
    shore 


    You said 
    of 
    flag
    s, what 

    mat
    ter
    s? 

    But nothing 
    matters 
    anymore 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    ten 
    years 
    overdue 

    Ten 
    years 

    Verse 2

    You 
    have 
    some 
    room 
    within 
    your 

    hold

    For 
    some 
    friends 
    of 
    ours 
    who 
    won't 

    be 
    growing 
    old 

    Why 
    won't 
    you 
    answer 
    us? 

    Why 
    aren't 
    we 
    told? 

    Is 
    this 
    ship 
    go
    ing 

    home? 

    Verse 3

    Listen, 
    all 
    of you 

    Shut 
    up 
    and 
    listen 
    to me 

    You don't 
    have 
    to shout, 
    we 
    hear 
    you 

    You 
    don't 
    have to 
    wave, 
    we 
    see, 

    it's 
    just 
    that 
    we're 
    very 
    sur
    prised 

    To 
    find 
    you alive 

    We 
    were told 
    there was 

    noth
    ing 
    going 
    on 

    And 
    that all 
    of you, 
    gone 

    Verse 4

    Is 
    this 
    ship 

    going 
    home? 

    You 
    must 
    have 
    room, 

    we 
    are 
    so 
    few 

    Ten 
    years, 
    we've 
    stood 

    here 
    wait
    ing 

    For 
    a ship 
    to 
    hold 
    in 
    view 

    We 
    will have 
    no 
    more 
    of 
    waiting 

    Tell 
    the 
    captain, 
    tell 
    the 
    crew 

    That 
    they're 
    ten 
    years 
    overdue 

    Ten 
    years 

    Verse 5

    Listen, 
    all 
    of you 

    Shut 
    up 
    and listen 
    to me 

    The 
    captain 
    is 
    locked 
    in his 
    quarters 

    He is 
    busy 
    and 
    can't 
    be dis
    turbed 

    And 
    as 
    for the 
    crew, 

    I'd watch 
    out, 
    were I 
    you 

    For we 
    can't 
    keep their 

    appetites 
    curbed 

    No, 
    we 
    can't 
    keep their 

    appetites 
    curbed 

    Is 
    this 
    Verse 6
    ship 
    going- 
    - 

    Please, please, 
    get 
    up off 
    your 
    knees 

    You 
    must see, 

    it's 
    better 
    this 
    way 

    You were such 
    doughty 
    fellows 

    while 
    fighting 
    the 
    yellows 

    That they 
    might 
    even 
    ask 
    you to stay 

    Yes, 
    they 
    might 
    even ask 

    you to 
    stay 

    Verse 7
    Don't 
    you 
    get the 
    idea? 

    You're much 
    better 
    off 
    here 

    You're 
    not 
    welcome 
    at 
    home 

    anymore 

    'Cause we're 
    all 
    so 
    bored 
    with 

    Interlude 1
    the war 



    Verse 8
    Cast 
    off, 
    mister 
    mate! 

    Is 
    this 
    ship 
    go
    ing 
    home?

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
