    Oh, in 1844, on
    G
    A

    March the eighteenth day,
    D

    We hoisted our colours to
    G

    the top of the mast,

    And for
    D
    A
    D

    Greenland bore away, boys,

    And for
    A
    D

    Greenland bore away.
    A
    D

    The lookout on the main mast stood,
    G
    A

    his spine last in his hand,
    D

    With a wail, with a wail,
    G

    with a wail, pity cried,
    D
    A
    D

    And she blows at every span, brave boy,
    A
    D

    and she blows at every span
    A
    D

    The captain stood on the quarter -deck
    G
    A

    The ice was in his eye
    D
    G

    Overhaul, overhaul, let your gypsy fall
    D
    A
    D

    And go putty your boats to sea,

    brave boys
    A
    D

    And go putty your boats to sea
    A

    The boats were lowered and the men aboard
    D
    G
    A

    The whale was hauled in view
    D

    Resolved, resolved,
    G

    was each whaler man bold
    D
    A
    D

    For to steal were the whalefish blue,

    brave boys
    A
    D

    For to steal were the whalefish blue
    A

    The harpoon struck and
    D

    the line strayed out
    G

    With a single, bloody shovel -tail
    A
    D

    She capsized our boat
    G

    and we lost five men
    D
    A
    D

    And we did not catch that whale,
    A

    brave boys
    D
    A
    D

    And we did not catch that whale
    A

    Delusion of those five jolly men
    D
    G

    It grieved our captain sore
    A
    D
    G

    But delusion of that spell of wild fish
    D
    A
    D

    Now it grieved him ten times more,

    brave boys
    A
    D

    Now it grieved him ten times more
    A
    D

    A banker now, a captain, he cried,
    G

    For the winter stars to appear,
    A
    D

    And it's time that we left
    G

    this cold country,

    And for
    D
    A
    D

    England we will stay, brave boys,

    And for
    A
    D

    England we will stay

    For
    A
    D

    Greenland is a barren land,
    G
    A

    A land that bears no green,
    D

    Where there's ice and snow,
    G

    And the wild fishes blow,
    D
    A
    D

    And the daylight's seldom seen,
    A

    pray boy,
    D
    A
    D

    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.”
