    In 
    eighteen 

    hundred

    forty- 
    six 

    And 
    of 
    March 
    the 
    eight
    eenth 
    day, 

    We 
    hoisted 
    our colors 
    to 

    the top 
    of 
    the 
    mast 

    And 
    for 
    Greenland 
    sailed 
    away, 

    brave 
    boys, 

    And 
    for 
    Green
    land 
    sailed 

    away. 

    Verse 2
    The lookout 
    in 
    the 
    crosstrees 
    stood 

    With 
    spyglass 
    in 
    his 
    hand; 

    There's 
    whale, 
    there's 
    whale, 

    And 
    whalefish he 
    cried 

    And 
    she 
    blows 
    at 
    every 
    span, 
    brave 
    boys 

    She 
    blows 
    at 
    every 
    span. 

    Verse 3
    The 
    captain 
    stood 
    on 
    the quarter 
    deck, 

    The 
    ice 
    was 
    in 
    his 
    eye

    Overhaul, overhaul! 
    Let 
    your 
    gibsheets fall, 

    And 
    you'll 
    put 
    your 
    boats 
    to 
    sea, 

    brave 
    boys 

    And 
    you'll 
    put 
    your 
    boats 
    to 
    sea. 

    Verse 4
    Our 
    harpoon 
    struck 
    and 

    the line 
    played 
    out, 

    With a 
    single 
    flour
    ish 
    of 
    his 
    tail, 

    He cap
    sized 
    the 
    boat 

    and 
    we 
    lost 
    five 
    men, 

    And 
    we 
    did 
    not 
    catch 
    the 
    whale, 

    brave 
    boys, 

    And 
    we 
    did 
    not 
    catch 
    the 
    whale. 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    The 
    losing 
    of 
    those 
    five 
    jolly 
    men, 

    It 
    grieved 
    the 
    captain 
    sore, 

    But 
    the 
    losing 
    of 
    that 
    fine 
    whalefish 

    Now 
    it 
    grieved 
    him 
    ten 
    times 
    more, 

    brave 
    boys 

    Now 
    it 
    grieved 
    him 
    ten 

    times 
    more. 

    Verse 6
    Oh Greenland 
    is 
    barren 
    land 

    land 
    that 
    bares 
    no 
    green 

    Where 
    there's 
    ice 
    and 
    snow, 

    and 
    the 
    whalefishes blow 

    And 
    the 
    day
    light's 
    seldom 
    seen, 

    brave 
    boys 

    And 
    the 
    day
    light's 
    seldom 

    Outro 1
    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.
