    Verse 1
    Old 
    lady 
    with 
    a 
    barrow; life 
    near 
    ending 

    Standing 
    by 
    the harbour 

    wall; warm 
    wishes 
    sending 

    Children 
    on 
    the 
    cold 
    sea 
    swell 

    Not 
    fishers 
    of 
    men 

    Gone to chase 
    away 
    the last 

    herring: 

    Come empty 
    home 
    again. 

    So come 
    all 
    you lovers 
    of 
    the good 
    life 

    On 
    your 
    supermarket 
    run 

    Set 
    a sail 
    of your 
    own 
    devising 

    And 
    be 
    there 
    when the 
    Dutch
    man 
    comes. 


    Wee girl 
    in 
    a straw 
    hat: from 

    far 
    east 
    warring 

    Sad 
    cargo 
    of an 
    old 
    ship: young 

    bodies 
    whoring 

    Slow 
    ocean 
    hobo 
    ports 

    closed 
    to 
    her crew 

    No 
    hope 
    of im
    migration 

    keep 
    on 
    passing 
    through. 

    So 
    come all 
    you lovers 
    of the good 
    life 

    Your 
    children 
    playing 
    in the 
    sun 

    Set 
    a sympathetic 
    flag 
    a-flying 

    And 
    And 
    be 
    there 
    when the 

    Dutch
    man 
    comes. 

    Death 



    grinning 
    like 
    a 
    scarecrow 
    Flying 
    Dutchman 

    Seagull 
    pilots 
    flown 
    from 
    nowhere 

    try 
    and 
    touch 
    one 

    As 
    she slips 
    in 
    on 
    the 
    full 
    tide 

    And 
    the 
    harbour-master 
    yells 

    yells 

    All 
    hand
    s vanished 
    with 
    the 

    captain 

    No one 
    left, 
    the 
    tale 
    to tell. 

    So come 
    all 
    you lovers 
    of 
    the good 
    life 

    Look 
    around 
    you, 
    can 
    you see? 

    Staring 
    ghostly 
    in 
    the 
    mirror 

    It's the 
    Dutchman 
    you 
    will 
    be 

    Floating 
    slowly 
    out 
    to sea 

    In a misty 
    misery.

      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.
