    • Intro 1

    We 
    sailed 
    away 
    on a winter's 
    Verse 1
    day 

    With 
    fate 
    as 
    malleable 
    as clay 

    But 
    ships 
    are 
    fallible, 
    I say 

    And the 
    nautical, 
    like 
    all things 
    fades 

    And I 
    can recall 
    our 
    caravel 

    A little 
    wicker 
    beetle 
    shell 

    With 
    four 
    fine 
    masts 
    and lateen 
    sails 

    Its 
    bearings 
    on 
    Cair Paravel 

    Verse 2
    Oh 
    my 
    love 

    Oh it 
    was a 
    funny 
    little 
    thing 

    To 
    be 

    The 
    ones 

    To've 
    seen 

    Verse 3
    The 
    sight 
    of 
    bridges 
    and balloons 

    Makes 
    calm 
    canaries 
    irritable 

    And they 
    caw 
    and 
    claw all 

    af
    ternoon 

    Catenaries and 
    dirigibles 

    Brace 
    and 
    buoy 
    the living 
    room 

    A loom 
    of 
    metals 
    warp 
    woof 
    wimble 

    And 
    a thimbles 
    worth 
    of milky 
    moon 

    Verse 4
    Can 
    touch 
    hearts 
    larger 
    than 
    a 
    thimble 

    Oh 
    my 
    love 

    Oh it 
    was a funny 
    little 
    thing 

    To 
    be 

    The 
    ones 

    To've seen 

    Oh 
    my 
    Verse 5
    love 

    Oh it 
    was a funny 
    little 
    thing 

    Outro 1
    It 
    was 
    a funny 
    funny 
    little 
    thing

      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

      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

      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 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.
