    babe 

    And

    Verse 4
    They 
    had 
    not 
    been 
    on 
    the ship 
    2 weeks 

    I'm 
    sure 
    it 
    was 
    not 
    three 

    When 
    the 
    old 
    true 
    love 
    began 

    to 
    weep 
    and 
    to 
    mourn 

    And she 
    wept 
    most 
    bit
    terly 

    Saying 
    are 
    you 
    weeping 
    for 

    my silver 
    and 
    my gold 

    Saying 
    are 
    you 
    weeping 

    for 
    my store 

    Or 
    are 
    you 
    weeping 
    for 

    your house 
    carpen
    ter 

    Whose 
    face 
    you'll 
    never 
    see 
    no 
    more 

    Verse 5
    curse, 
    a curse 
    to 
    the sailor 

    she 
    cried 

    curse, 
    curse 
    she 
    swore 

    You 
    robbed 
    me 
    of 

    my darling 
    little 
    babe 

    That 
    shall 
    never 
    see 

    no 
    more 

    They 
    had 
    not 
    been 
    on 
    the ship 

    three 
    weeks 

    I'm 
    sure 
    it 
    was 
    not 
    four 

    When 
    there came 
    leak 

    on the bot
    tom 
    of 
    the ship 

    And 
    sank 
    them 
    for 
    to 
    rise 
    no 
    more

    • 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.
