I was riding on the mayflower

Who came running to the deck
said, "Boys, forget the whale

when they're far away at sea

I took a deep breath,
I fell down, I could not stand
F
Captain Arab he started
writing up some deeds

He said, "Let's set up a fort
and start buyin' a place with beads"

crazy as a loon

He throws us all in jail for carrying harpoons

Ah, me I busted out, don't even ask me how
I went to get some help,
I walked by a Guernsey cow

Where people carried signs around
sayin', "Ban the bums"

I jumped right into line sayin'
"I hope that I'm not late"

for five days straight

I went into a restaurant looking for the cook
I told him I was the editor
of a famous etiquette book

The waitress he was handsome,
he wore a powder blue cape

I ordered some Suzette,
I said "could you please make that Crepe?"
G
Just then the whole kitchen
exploded from boilin' fat

Food was flyin' everywhere,
I left without my hat
C
C
Verse 5
C
Now, I didn't mean to be nosy
but I went into a bank
To get some bail for Arab
and all the boys back in the tank

They asked me for some collateral
and I pulled down my pants
C
They threw me in the alley
when up comes this girl from France

with the U.S. flag upon display
I said, "Could you help me out,
I got some friends down the way"
F
"The man says, "Get out of here,
I'll tear you limb from limb"
C
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too",
he said, "You're not Him

Get out of here before I break your bones,
I ain't your pop"

Verse 7
C
I ran right outside, I hopped inside a cab
I went out the other door,
this Englishman said, "Fab"
F
As he saw me leap a hot dog stand
and a chariot that stood
C
Parked across
from a building advertising brotherhood
G
I ran right through the front door
like a hobo sailor does
C
But it was just a funeral parlor
and the man asked me who I was
C
C
Verse 8
C
I repeated that my friends
were all in jail with a sigh
He gave me his card,
he said, "Call me if they die"
F
I shook his hand and said goodbye,
ran out to the street
C
When a bowling ball came down the road
and knocked me off my feet
G
A pay phone was ringing
and it just about blew my mind
C
When I picked it up and said hello,
this foot came through the line
C
C
C
Verse 9
C
Well, by this time I's fed up
at tryin' to make a stab
At bringing back any help
for my friends and Captain Arab
F
I decided to flip a coin
like either heads or tails
C
Would let me know if
I should go back to ship or back to jail
G
So I hocked my sailor suit
and I got a coin to flip
C
It came up tails, it rhymed with sails,
so I made it back to the ship
C
C
Verse 10
C
Well, I got back and took the parking ticket
off the mast
I was ripping it to shreds
when this coastguard boat went past
F
They asked me my name
and I said, "Captain Kidd"
C
They believed me but they wanted to know
what exactly that I did
G
I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed
C
They let me go right away,
they were very paranoid
C
C
C
Verse 11
C
Well, the last I heard of Arab,
he was stuck on a whale
That was married
to the deputy sheriff of the jail
F
But the funniest thing was
when I was leavin' the bay
C
I saw three ships sailin' there,
were all heading my way
G
I asked the captain what his name was
and how come he didn't drive a truck
C
He said his name was Columbus,
I just said, "Good luck"

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

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
