    • Verse 1

    Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land

    And I paddle away

    from Brave England's white sands

    To search for my long ago forgotten friends

    To search for the place I hear all sailors end
    Chorus 1
    F

    As the souls of the dead
    C

    fill the space of my mind
    G

    I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find
    F
    C

    I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
    G

    I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
    F

    When their bones in the ocean,
    G
    C

    forever will be
    Verse 2

    Plot a course to the night,

    to a place I once knew

    To a place where my hope died

    along with my crew

    So I swallow my grief and face life's final test

    To find promise of peace

    and the solace of rest
    Chorus 2
    F

    As the souls of the dead
    C

    fill the space of my ears

    Their laughter like children,
    G

    their beckoning cheers
    F

    My heart longs to join them,
    C

    sing songs of the sea
    G

    I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
    F

    When their bones in the ocean,
    G
    C

    forever will be
    Verse 3

    When at last,

    before my ghostly shipmates I stand

    I shed a small tear for my home upon land

    Though their eyes speak of depths

    filled with struggle and strife

    Their smiles below say

    I don't owe them my life
    Chorus 3
    F

    As the souls of the dead
    C

    fill the space of my eyes
    G

    And my boat listed over and tried to capsize
    F

    I'm this far from drowning,
    C

    this far from the sea
    G

    I remember the living, do they think of me?
    F

    When my bones in the ocean,
    G
    C

    forever will be
    Verse 4

    Now that I'm staring down

    at the darkest abyss

    I'm not sure what I want,

    but I don't think it's this

    As my comrades call to stand fast

    and forge on

    I make sail for the dawn

    'til the darkness has gone
    C
    As the
    Chorus 4
    F

    souls of the dead live
    C

    fore'er in my mind
    G

    As I live all the years that they left me behind
    F
    C

    I'll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea
    G

    I remember the fallen and they think of me
    F

    For our souls in the ocean,
    G
    C

    together will be

    I remember the fallen and they think of me

    For our souls in the ocean
    Together will be

    • 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.”
