    The 
    Warning 
    Flags 
    were 
    up 
    that night 

    there 
    blew 
    a 
    fearsome 
    gale. 

    A 
    stranger 
    at 
    the 
    Yacht 
    Club bar 

    began 
    an awful 
    tale. 

    I'll 
    tell 
    you about 
    the 
    flotsam 
    class 

    which 
    set out 
    on 
    a race. 

    From 
    Ravage 
    Quay straight 
    out 
    to sea 

    and 
    twice 
    around the 
    place. 

    The 
    first craft 
    at 
    the halfway 
    mark 

    was 
    Grubby 
    Jean the 
    third 

    One 
    -tenth 
    the length behind 
    her 

    swept the 
    gallant 
    Thunderbird 

    Twelve 
    others 
    trailed by 
    quarter 
    -miles 

    while 
    the poor 
    old drinking 
    gourd 

    Was 
    staggering 
    so 
    far 
    be
    hind 

    we 
    thought she 
    still was 
    bored 

    The 
    Thunderbird 
    came 
    tacking 
    down 

    and 
    passed 
    the Grubby 
    Jean 

    Her 
    skip
    per 
    Johnny 
    Pizer, 

    but 
    a lad 
    of seventeen, 

    His 
    youthful 
    indiscretion 

    caused 
    the 
    judge to 
    snort 
    aloud, 

    He 
    put 
    his 
    fingers 
    to his 
    nose 

    and 
    scandalized 
    the crowd. 

    The 
    stranger 
    took another 
    drink 

    and heaved 
    a fearful 
    sigh 

    We 
    yachtsmen 
    stood in 
    silence, 

    round 
    a tear 
    in every 
    eye 

    And 
    as the 
    tale began 
    again, 

    no 
    man 
    dared laugh 
    or joke 

    The 
    stranger's 
    heart, 

    we 
    all 
    could 
    tell, 

    was very 
    nearly 
    broke 

    Well, 
    then 
    suddenly 
    from 
    nowhere 
    near 

    a 
    third boat 
    did appear 

    The 
    drink
    ing 
    gourd come 
    in 
    to 
    view, 

    her 
    speed caused 
    all 
    to cheer 

    She 
    overhauled 
    the 
    grubby jean, 

    she 
    passed 
    the Thunderbird 

    And 
    Johnny 
    Pizer 
    cursed 
    aloud, 

    it's good he 
    wasn't 
    hurt 

    Well 
    when the 
    race 
    was over 

    we all 
    rushed with 
    wild 
    surmise 

    To 
    learn the 
    mighty secret 

    which had 
    won the 
    gourd her 
    prize 

    Her 
    smirking 
    captain 
    faced 
    the crowd, 


    it's simple 
    but it's 
    fine 

    We 
    simply 
    took a 
    good 
    long 
    breath 

    and 
    blew her 
    across the 
    line 


    The 
    stranger 
    paused, 

    I'll tell 
    you 
    who I 
    am, 

    and whence I 
    came 

    I'm 
    just a 
    crazy 
    sailing 
    man, 

    John Pizer 
    was 
    my name 

    I 
    tried 
    the 
    trick to 
    no avail, 

    I've 
    blown with 
    all my 
    might 

    He 
    gasped, 

    and 
    he fell dead 
    across 
    the bar, 

    And 
    we all drank 
    tea 
    that 
    night.

      "

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
