    Verse 1
    Billy 
    was 
    born 
    within 

    sight 
    of 
    the 
    shipyard 

    First 
    son 
    of 
    riv
    eter's son 

    And 
    Billy 
    was 
    raised 
    as 
    the 

    ship 
    grew 
    shadow 

    Her 
    great 
    hull 
    would 
    blot 
    out 
    the 

    light 
    of 
    the 
    sun 

    Verse 2

    And 
    six 
    days 
    week 
    he 
    would 

    watch 
    his 
    poor 
    father 

    working 
    man 
    live 
    like 
    slave 

    He'd 
    drink 
    every 
    night 
    and 

    he'd 
    dream 
    of 
    future 

    Of 
    money 
    he 
    never 
    would 
    save 

    And 
    Billy 
    would 
    cry 
    when 

    he 
    thought 
    of 
    the 
    future 

    Verse 3
    Soon 
    came 
    day 
    when 
    the 

    bottle 
    was 
    broken 

    They 
    launched 
    great 
    ship 
    out 
    to 
    sea 

    He 
    felt 
    he'd 
    been 
    left 
    on 

    des
    olate 
    shore 

    To 
    future 
    he 
    desperately 

    wanted 
    to 
    flee 

    What 
    else 
    was 
    there 
    for 
    riveter's son 

    new 
    ship 
    to 
    be 
    built, 

    new 
    work 
    to 
    be 
    done 

    Verse 4
    One 
    day 
    he 
    dreamed 

    of 
    the 
    ship 
    in 
    the 
    world 

    It 
    would 
    carry 
    his 
    father 
    and he 

    To 
    place 
    they 
    would 
    never 
    be 
    found 

    To 
    a place 
    far 
    away 
    from 
    this 
    town. 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    Trapped 
    in 
    the 
    cage 
    of 
    the skeleton 
    ship 

    All 
    the 
    workmen 
    sus

    pended 
    like 
    flies 

    Caught 
    in 
    the 
    flare 
    of 
    acetylene 
    light 

    working 
    man 
    works 

    till 
    the 
    industry 
    dies 

    And 
    Billy 
    would 
    cry 
    when 
    he 

    thought 
    of 
    the 
    future 

    Then 
    what 
    Verse 6
    they 
    call 
    an 

    industrial 
    accident 

    Crushed 
    those 
    it 
    couldn't 

    forgive 

    They 
    brought 
    Billy's 
    father 

    back 
    home 
    in 
    an 
    ambulance 

    A brass 
    watch, 
    cheque, 

    may
    be 
    three 
    weeks 
    to 
    live, 

    And 
    what 
    else 
    was 
    there 

    for 
    riveter's son 

    new 
    ship 
    to 
    be 
    built, 

    new 
    work 
    to 
    be 
    done 

    That 
    night, 
    Verse 7
    he 
    dreamed 
    of 

    the 
    ship in 
    the world 

    It 
    would 
    carry 
    his 
    father 
    and 
    he 

    To 
    a place 
    they 
    could 
    never 
    be 
    found 

    To 
    place 
    far 
    away 
    from 
    this 
    town, 

    Newcastle 
    ship 
    without 
    coals 


    They would sail 
    to 
    the 
    island 
    of 
    souls.

    • 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.
