    time 

    They say

    mine 

    Verse 4
    could 
    have 
    married 
    a King's 
    daughter, 

    fair 

    And 
    she 
    would 
    have 
    married 
    me 

    But 
    have forsaken 
    her crowns 
    of

    thee

    along 
    with 
    me 

    I'll

    you 
    where 
    the grass 
    grows 
    green

    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the 
    deep 
    blue 
    sea 

    Verse 6
    Then 
    she 
    picked 
    up 
    darlin' 
    little 
    babe 

    And 
    kisses, 
    she gave 
    it three

    your 
    papa 
    company 


    They 
    had 
    not 
    been on 
    the ship 
    two 
    weeks 

    I'm 
    sure 
    it was 
    not 
    three 

    'Til 
    his 
    true 
    love began to 

    weep 
    and 
    to mourn 

    And 
    she 
    wept 
    most 
    bitterly

    "Are you 
    weepin' 
    for 

    my silver 
    and 
    my gold" 

    Sayin', 

    "Are 
    you 
    weepin' 
    for 
    my 
    store?"

    you 
    weepin' 
    for 

    your 
    house 
    carpenter 

    Verse 9
    Whose 
    face 
    you'll 
    never 
    see 
    no 
    more? 


    "A 
    curse, 
    curse 
    to the 

    sailor," 
    she cried 

    "A 
    curse, a curse," 
    she 
    swore 

    You 
    robbed me 
    of my 
    darlin' 
    little 
    babe 

    That 
    shall 
    never 
    see 
    no 
    more 

    Verse 10

    They 
    had 
    not 
    been on 

    the ship 
    three 
    weeks 

    I'm 
    sure 
    it was 
    not 
    four 

    When 
    there 
    came a 
    leak 
    in 

    the 
    bottom 
    of 
    the 
    ship 

    And 
    sank 
    them 
    for 
    to 
    rise 
    no 
    more 

    Verse 11
    "Well 
    met, 
    well 
    met, 

    said an 
    old 
    true 
    love 

    "Well 
    met, 
    well 
    met, 
    said 
    he 

    have 
    just 
    returned 
    from 
    the salt, 
    salt 
    sea 

    And 
    it's 
    all 
    for 
    the love 
    of 
    thee

    • 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.
