We came across the ocean for the price of the passage

Came across the ocean for one English pound

We slept in the hay bed

with the sheep and the shit

We slept in the hay,

me and three boys from our town


Hunger did surround us

Came on like a black sea

Everything it came for,

rotten on the ground Food was had for money

And as we had none

All the world around us

came a tumbling down

Nowhere left to go

One morning our boy Tommy
Esus4

lay dying beside me
Em

Cold and sick and dying and blue was what we found Before he took his last breath the ships

sailors found him Before he took his last breath they tossed him in to drown

If hunger makes you nothing,

then boy I am nothing

Just another hungry boy
Esus4

washed up on the sand

The lucky boys who did survive the cruel deeds of cruel

men Would live a short and lonely life in a foreign land

  • 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.
