    Oh, 
    in 
    1844, 
    on 

    March 
    the 
    eighteenth 
    day, 

    We 
    hoisted 
    our 
    colours 
    to 

    the 
    top 
    of 
    the 
    mast, 

    And 
    for 

    Greenland 
    bore 
    away, 
    boys, 

    And 
    for 

    Greenland 
    bore 
    away. 

    The 
    lookout 
    on 
    the 
    main 
    mast 
    stood, 

    his 
    spine 
    last 
    in 
    his 
    hand, 

    With 
    a wail, 
    with 
    a wail, 

    with 
    a wail, 
    pity 
    cried, 

    And 
    she 
    blows 
    at 
    every 
    span, 
    brave 
    boy, 

    and 
    she 
    blows 
    at 
    every 
    span 

    The 
    captain 
    stood 
    on 
    the 
    quarter 
    -deck

    The 
    ice 
    was 
    in 
    his 
    eye 

    Overhaul, 
    overhaul, 
    let 
    your 
    gypsy 
    fall 

    And 
    go 
    putty 
    your 
    boats 
    to 
    sea, 

    brave 
    boys 

    And 
    go 
    putty 
    your 
    boats 
    to 
    sea 

    The 
    boats 
    were 
    lowered 
    and 
    the 
    men 
    aboard 

    The 
    whale 
    was 
    hauled 
    in 
    view 

    Re
    solved, 
    resolved, 

    was 
    each 
    whaler 
    man 
    bold 

    For 
    to 
    steal 
    were 
    the whalefish 
    blue, 

    brave 
    boys 

    For 
    to 
    steal 
    were 
    the whalefish 
    blue 

    The 
    harpoon 
    struck 
    an

    the line 
    strayed 
    out 

    With 
    single, 
    bloody 
    shovel 
    -tail 

    She 
    cap
    sized 
    our 
    boat 

    and 
    we 
    lost 
    five 
    men 

    And 
    we 
    did 
    not 
    catch 
    that 
    whale, 

    brave 
    boys 

    And 
    we 
    did 
    not 
    catch 
    that 
    whale 

    Delusion 
    of 
    those 
    five 
    jolly 
    men 

    It 
    grieved 
    our 
    captain 
    sore 

    But 
    delu
    sion 
    of 
    that 
    spell 
    of wild 
    fish 

    Now 
    it 
    grieved 
    him 
    ten 
    times 
    more, 

    brave 
    boys 

    Now 
    it 
    grieved 
    him 
    ten 
    times 
    more 

    banker 
    now, 
    cap
    tain, 
    he cried, 

    For 
    the 
    winter 
    stars 
    to 
    appear, 

    And 
    it's time 
    that 
    we left 

    this 
    cold 
    country, 

    And 
    for 

    England 
    we 
    will 
    stay, 
    brave 
    boys, 

    And 
    for 

    England 
    we 
    will 
    stay 

    For 

    Greenland 
    is 
    barren 
    land, 

    land 
    that 
    bears 
    no 
    green, 

    Where 
    there's 
    ice 
    and 
    snow, 

    And 
    the wild 
    fishes 
    blow, 

    And 
    the 
    daylight's 
    seldom 
    seen, 

    pray 
    boy, 

    And 
    the 
    daylight's 
    seldom 
    seen.

    • 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.
