F
G
C
Dead in the water,
G
C
black flies everywhere.
F
C
G
C
Oh no, too slow.
Sunscreenin' and sweatin'
G
C
and prayin' for air.
F
C
G
Oh no, too slow.
C
F
Might as well drop the
G
sails and go for a swim
F
But all we need is a puff and
G
we're destined to win
C
G
C
G
Way -oh, heave -ho
F
G
C
All the way on the halyard
G
C
In the days of old, the ships were all tall
F
C
G
C
Oh no, too old
G
C
Took twenty men to hoist them all
F
C
G
Oh no, too old
C
F
For sails they had many,
G
we've only got two
F
If we only had wind,
G
a main and jenny would do
C
G
C
G
Way -o, hee -ho,
F
G
C
haul away on the halyard
G
It's simple today, our halyards are short
C
F
C
G
Oh, no, too slow
C
Instead of racing for pay,
G
we're racing for
C
sport
F
C
G
Oh, no, too slow
C
F
G
With no lady luck to blow us away
F
G
We'll get those sails up and sing anyway
C
G
C
G
Way -oh, ee -oh,
F
G
C
all the way on the halyard.
G
C
Well, back in the day, it took them too long.
F
C
G
C
Oh no, too long.
By the time they were done,
G
C
they could sing a whole song.
F
C
G
Oh no, too long.
C
F
Our halyards rigged to the cockpit,
G
don't have to go on deck.
F
All we need is a breeze
G
and we might even get wet
C
G
C
G
Way -oh, hee -ho,
F
G
C
all the way on the halyard
G
C
No one will ever say that we work too hard
F
C
G
C
No, not too hard
With technology bought
G
C
with a credit card
F
C
G
Oh no, credit card
C
F
They'll say we push buttons,
G
sat around and drank
F
Our witch is electric,
G
don't even have to crank
C
G
C
G
Way -oh, hee -ho,
F
G
C
all the way on the halyard
G
C
Sailing now is easy, everything's quick
F
C
G
Oh no, too slow
C
G
C
But finding the wind is no magic trick
F
C
G
Oh no, too slow
C
F
So I'll call out a tune and
G
you can all sing along
F
It's time to beat the doldrums
G
and sing a wind song
C
G
C
G
Way -o, yee -ho
F
G
C
All the way on a halyard
G
And since we are going nowhere fast,
C
F
C
G
oh no, too slow
C
G
C
We've got to prepare so we don't come in last,
F
C
G
oh no, too slow
C
F
We've got plenty of time
G
to take it up slow
F
Let's sing a song while we
G
work like the days of old
C
G
C
G
Way -o, heave -ho,
F
G
C
haul away on the halyard
G
C
We'll haul it up one yard at a time
F
C
G
Oh no, too slow,
C
G
C
hand over hand as the sails slowly rise
F
C
G
C
Oh no, biding our time,
F
G
finally a gust is starting to blow
F
G
Yo ho hey, and away we go
C
G
C
G
Way -o, heave -ho
F
G
C
All the way on the halyard

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.”
