    Oh, 
    won't 
    you 
    ever 
    run 

    the 
    Congo 
    River? 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow! 

    Black 
    fever 
    makes 
    the 
    white 
    man 
    shiver. 

    Blow 
    me, 
    bloody 
    boys, 
    blow! 

    Yankee 
    ship 
    came 
    down 
    the 
    river. 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow! 

    For 
    mast 
    in 
    yards 
    they 
    shun 
    like 
    silver. 

    Blow 
    me, 
    bloody 
    boys, 
    blow! 

    Oh, 
    blow 
    me, 
    boys, 
    and 
    blow 
    forever! 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow 

    Why 
    blow 
    me 
    down 
    that 
    Congo 
    River? 

    Blow 
    me, 
    bloody 
    boys, 
    blow 

    Now, 
    what 
    do 
    you think 

    she 
    had 
    for 
    cargo? 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow 

    Why 
    black 
    sheep 
    that 
    had 
    lolly 
    in 
    bargo? 

    Blow 
    me, 
    bloody 
    boys, 
    blow 

    Now, 
    what 
    do 
    you 
    think 

    they 
    had 
    for 
    dinner? 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow 

    Why 
    monkey's 
    heart 
    and 

    donkey's 
    liver? 

    Blow 
    me, 
    bully 
    boys, 
    blow 

    Now 
    blow 
    me, 
    boys, 
    and 
    blow 
    forever 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow 

    Why 
    blow 
    me 
    down 
    that 
    Congo 
    river? 

    Blow 
    me, 
    bully 
    boys, 
    blow 

    Now 
    yonder 
    comes 
    the 
    arrow 
    -packin' 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow 

    She 
    fires 
    her 
    guns, 

    can't 
    you 
    hear 
    the 
    rackin'? 

    Blow 
    me, 
    bully 
    boys, 
    blow 

    How 
    old 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    was 

    the 
    skipper 
    of 
    her? 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow! 

    Why, 
    Puddy, 
    he's 
    the 
    sailor 
    of 
    her! 

    Blow 
    me, 
    Puddy, 
    boys, 
    blow! 

    Blow 
    me, 
    boys, 
    and 
    blow 
    forever! 

    Blow, 
    boys, 
    blow! 

    I'll 
    blow 
    me 
    down 
    that 
    Congo 
    River! 

    Blow 
    me, 
    Puddy, 
    boys, 
    blow!

    • 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.
