    Dead 
    in 
    the 
    water, 

    black 
    flies 
    every
    where. 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    slow. 

    Sunscreenin' 
    and 
    sweatin' 

    and 
    prayin' 
    for 
    air. 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    slow. 

    Might 
    as well 
    drop 
    the 

    sails 
    and 
    go 
    for 
    a swim 

    But 
    all 
    we need 
    is 
    a puff 
    and 

    we're 
    destined 
    to 
    win 

    Way 
    -o
    h, 
    heave 
    -ho 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    on 
    the halyard 

    In 
    the 
    days 
    of 
    old, 
    the 
    ships 
    were 
    all 
    tall 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    old 

    Took 
    twenty 
    men 
    to 
    hoist 
    them 
    all 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    old 

    For 
    sails 
    they had 
    many, 

    we've 
    only 
    got 
    two 

    If 
    we only 
    had 
    wind, 

    a main and 
    jenny 
    would 
    do 

    Way 
    -o, 
    hee 
    -ho, 

    haul 
    away 
    on 
    the halyard 

    It's 
    simple 
    today, 
    our 
    halyards 
    are short 

    Oh, 
    no, 
    too 
    slow 

    Instead 
    of racing 
    for 
    pay, 

    we're 
    racing 
    for 

    sport 

    Oh, 
    no, 
    too 
    slow 

    With 
    no 
    lady 
    luck 
    to 
    blow 
    us 
    away 

    We'll 
    get 
    those 
    sails 
    up 
    and 
    sing 
    anyway 

    Way 
    -o
    h, 
    ee 
    -oh, 

    all 
    the way 
    on 
    the halyard. 

    Well, 
    back 
    in 
    the 
    day, 
    it 
    took 
    them 
    too 
    long. 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    long. 

    By 
    the time 
    they 
    were 
    done, 

    they 
    could 
    sing 
    a whole 
    song. 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    long. 

    Our 
    halyard
    s rigged 
    to 
    the 
    cockpit, 

    don't 
    have 
    to go 
    on 
    deck. 

    All 
    we need 
    is 
    a breeze 

    and we might 
    even 
    get 
    wet 

    Way 
    -o
    h, 
    hee 
    -ho, 

    all 
    the way 
    on 
    the halyard 

    No 
    one 
    will 
    ever 
    say 
    that 
    we work 
    too 
    hard 

    No, 
    not 
    too 
    hard 

    With technology 
    bought 

    with 
    a credit 
    card 

    Oh 
    no, 
    cred
    it 
    card 

    They'll 
    say 
    we 
    push buttons, 

    sat 
    around 
    and 
    drank 

    Our 
    witch 
    is 
    electric, 

    don't 
    even 
    have 
    to 
    crank 

    Way 
    -o
    h, 
    hee 
    -ho, 

    all 
    the way 
    on 
    the 
    halyard 

    Sailing 
    now 
    is easy, 
    everything's 
    quick 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    slow 

    But 
    finding 
    the 
    wind 
    is 
    no 
    magic 
    trick 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    slow 

    So 
    I'll 
    call 
    out 
    a tune 
    and 

    you 
    can all 
    sing 
    along 

    It's 
    time 
    to 
    beat 
    the doldrums 

    and 
    sing 
    wind 
    song 

    Way 
    -o, 
    yee 
    -ho 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    on 
    a halyard 

    And 
    since 
    we 
    are 
    going 
    nowhere 
    fast, 

    oh 
    no, 
    too 
    slow 

    We've 
    got 
    to 
    prepare 
    so 
    we 
    don't 
    come 
    in 
    last, 

    oh 
    no, 
    too 
    slow 

    We've 
    got 
    plenty 
    of 
    time 

    to 
    take 
    it 
    up slow 

    Let's 
    sing 
    a song 
    while 
    we 

    work 
    like 
    the 
    days 
    of 
    old 

    Way 
    -o, 
    heave 
    -ho, 

    haul 
    away 
    on 
    the halyard 

    We'll 
    haul 
    it 
    up 
    one 
    yard 
    at 
    time 

    Oh 
    no, 
    too 
    slow, 

    hand 
    over 
    hand 
    as 
    the 
    sails 
    slowly 
    rise 

    Oh 
    no, 
    biding 
    our 
    time, 

    finally 
    gust 
    is 
    starting 
    to 
    blow 

    Yo 
    ho 
    hey, 
    and 
    away 
    we 
    go 

    Way 
    -o, 
    heave 
    -ho 

    All 
    the way 
    on 
    the halyard

    • 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.
