Ballad Of The Yarmouth Castle chords by 
George Hamilton Iv
N/A•
Verse 1
Am
C
G
Well, it's
Am
four o 'clock
C
in the afternoon,
G
the anchors have been weighed
Am
G
From Miami to Nassau,
Am
she's bound to cross the waves
C
She's a -headin' south to Biscayne Bay
G
and to the open sea
Am
Yarmouth Castle,
G
Am
she's a -dyin' and don't know it
C
Oh, the many years she's been to sea,
G
she's seen the better times
Am
She gives a groan of protest
G
Am
as they cast away her lines
C
And the grumble of her engines
G
and the rust along her spine
Am
G
Am
Tells the castle she's too old to be sailin'
C
But the sands run out within her heart
G
A tiny spark glows red
Am
G
And smolders through the evening
Am
There's a laughter overhead
Well, the dinner's served,
C
the cards are dealt
G
And the drinks are passed around
Am
G
While deep within the fire
Am
starts a -burning
C
It's midnight on the open sea,
G
the moon is a -shining bright
Am
G
Some people join the party
Am
and the others say goodnight
C
There's many who are sleeping now,
G
it's been such a busy day
Am
G
Am
And a tiny whisp of smoke is a -risin'
Oh Lord, she groans,
C
I'm burnin',
G
let someone understand
Am
G
But her silent plea is a -wasted
Am
and a -playin' off the band
C
Everybody's dancin' on the deck
G
and a -havin' such a time
Am
G
and a voice says shut up and deal
Am
C
I'm losing deep within the arm of castle
G
the fire begins to glow
Am
G
it leaps into the hallways
Am
and climbs and twists and
grows the paint she wore
C
G
to keep her young oh lord
Am
I will it burns and soon that old
G
Am
The fire is a -ragin'
C
Beneath the bridge she's a -climbin'
G
Now the captain stands aloft
Am
G
He calls up to the bosun
Am
Says, bosun, we're lost
C
Them ragged hoses and their racks
G
No pressure do they hold
Am
G
Am
And the people down below are dyin'
C
Well, amid ships, oh, she's a -blazin'
G
Now it's spreadin' for an aft
Am
G
And the people are a -scramblin'
Am
As the fire blocks their path
C
And evil smoke surrounds them
G
And they're fallin' in their tracks
Am
And the captain in his life
G
Am
boat is a -leavin'
C
Oh, then the ship Bahama Star
G
comes steamin' through the night
Am
G
She sees the castle a -blazin'
Am
and it is a terrible sight
Jump down, jump down,
C
a captain cries,
G
we'll save you if we can
Am
G
Am
And the paint on his funnels is a -fryin'
C
God help the ones who sleep below
G
and cannot find their way
Am
G
Thank God for those we res
Am
cue upon this cerebral day
C
Oh, the heroes they are many
G
and at times a -growin' slim
Am
G
For now, from stern to bow,
Am
she's a -blazin'
C
Oh, the Yarmouth Castle's moanin'
G
She's a -cryin' like a child
Am
G
You can hear her if you listen
Am
Above the roar so wild
C
Is she cryin' for the ones who lie
G
Within her molten size
Am
Or is she cryin' for herself
G
Am
I'm a -wond 'rin'
C
And soon they all were rescued
G
The ones who lived to tell
Am
G
And from the star they watched her
Am
As she died there in the swells
C
Like a toy ship on a mill pond
G
She burned all through the night
Am
G
Am
And slip neath the waves in the mornin'

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 🙂”

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.”
