Verse 1
Am
The wind was whipping
E
shingle through the windows in the town
A hail of stones across the roof,

the slates came raining down
A blade of light upon the spit came

With me head in side a barrel and

Mother pack me bags because

I'm off to foreign parts
Don't ask me where I'm going 'cause

Dm
Am
I'm sure it's off the charts
I'll pin your likeness on the wall
Dm
right by my sleeping head
E
I'll send you cards and letters so
you'll know that I'm not dead
Verse 3
Am
By this time in a week I should
E
be far away from home
Trailing fingers through the phospor or
Am
asleep in flowers of foam
From Macao to Acapulco from
Dm
Havana to Seville
E
We'll see monoliths and bridges
and the Christ up on the hill
Verse 4
E
Am
An aria with the Russians at
E
the piano in the bar
With ice floes through the window
Am
we raised glasses to the Czar
We squared off on a dockside with
Dm
a couple a hundred Finns
E
We dallied in the 'dilly and we
soaked ourselves in gin
Verse 5
Dm
Am
Now the only deck that I'd want to walk
E
Are the stalks of corn
Am
beneath my feet
Dm
Am
And the only sea I want to sail

Verse 6
Am
We sailed through constellations
E
and were rutted by the storm
I crumpled under cudgel blows
Am
and finally came ashore
I spent the next two years or more
Dm
just staring at the wall
E
We went to sea to see the world
and what d'you think we saw?
Verse 7
Am
If we turned the table upside down
E
and sailed around the bed
Clamped knives between our teeth and
Am
tied bandannas round our heads
With the wainscot our horizon and
Dm
the ceiling as the sky
E
You'd not expect that anyone
would go and fuckin' die
Verse 8
Dm

Now the only deck that I'd want to walk
E
Are the stalks of corn

Verse 9
Am
At nights we passed the bottle round
E
and drank to our lost friends
We lay alone upon our bunks
Am
and prayed that this would end
A wall of moving shadows with
Dm
rows of swinging keys
E
We dreamed that whole Leviathans
lay rotting in the weeds
Verse 10
Am
There's a sound that comes from miles
E
away if you lean your head to hear
A ship's bell rings on board a wreck
Am
when the air is still and clear
And up above that means another
Dm
angel's got his wings
E
But all below it signifies is
a ship's gone in the drink
Verse 11
Dm
Am
Now the only deck that I'd want to walk
E
Are the stalks of corn

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.”
