  • Verse 1
    From 
    Tortuga's port, we 
    put to 
    sea 

    And 
    sailed for 
    16 days 

    In 
    the 
    biggest 
    storm 
    I'd ever 
    seen 

    We 
    almost 
    lost 
    our way 

    When 
    a call came 
    from a 
    deckhand 

    Boys, I 
    think she's 
    going 
    down 

    But 
    don't 
    you fear 

    There's 
    enough 
    rum here 

    To 
    drink 
    until we 
    drown! 

    Verse 2
    Ho! 

    What shall 
    we do with 

    a drunken 
    sailor? 

    What shall 
    we do with 

    a drunken 
    sailor?

    a drunken

    Verse 4
    So this deckhand 
    grabbed 
    a barrel 
    Broke the 

    seal 
    and took a swig 

    And 
    soon their 
    screams 
    turned into 
    songs 

    Their 
    panicked 
    work turned 
    into 
    jigs 

    The first 
    mate bellowed 
    orders 

    Ever 
    trying to 
    save their 
    skins 

    "Any 
    drunken 
    retch 

    The captain 
    catch 

    He'll 
    beat all 
    limb from 
    limb!"

      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 🙂

      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.
